trump now, with attacks and accusations against people in the SDNY claiming they are the ones who are corrupt, and claims they are breaking the laws , and this is revenge . The same things he's done before claiming he's a victim , again. He'll find someone in the SDNY to use as a mole like he's done in the FBI, and promote lies again claiming he's innocent, and they are the guilty ones. Again the same pattern when this happens.

Looks like he has some qualifications ...

With charges like this for example:
"false statements, mail & wire fraud, money laundering"
they can potentially charge him at a state level - which are pardon proof

They must be taking a deep dive into the real estate sales, too. Apparently there are a whole lot of vacant, Russian-owned apartments in his buildings.

I think people are letting their hopes lead them beyond what we actually know. For example, the subpoena is directed at the committee and reportedly is focused on documents relating to the funding of the committee. It reportedly mentions only one specific individual: Imaad Zuberi. Notably it does not mention Trump, any member of his family or Pence. Whether more will come of this is yet to be seen, but drawing conclusions about Trump, his family and/or Pence being investigated from this subpoena is a leap at this point.

Warrenton is in my old neck of the woods, so I was googling the Virginia address listed in the subpoena, just to see what and where it was, exactly. Suite 100 is a small law office, no surprise there. A little further digging on them:
https://www.mcclatchydc.com/latest-news/article210176219.html
They appear to specialize in making big political donations anonymous. Ugh.

Also in the same building is (was) a business named Northrock II, LLC. There's no suite number listed, not anywhere. "Professional services" was the only description or info I could find on them. According to Yelp, their (empty) page was last edited on Feb. 3, 2019. It was updated to list the business as CLOSED, in all caps. After some more googling around, I tried to go back to the Yelp listing. Attempting to load the page now pops a "Web Page Crashed" error.

It could be totally innocent, maybe it's just an LLC set up by a local to sell some horses or something. But the closure date, 2 days befor the subpoena dropped, is pinging my spidey senses. We all know how much Rump and his family loooove their LLCs.
