Charlie Pierce analyzes the Nunberg subpoena

The subpoenas go back to 2015 and woe betide anyone, as the nuns used to tell us, who fed any subpoenaed material into the shredder. At least a few of those people on that list have already flipped or likely have announced their intentions privately to do so. All of them except Cohen will have left the White House when Hicks leaves in a few weeks.

And Mueller likely has copies of all those emails subpoenaed from Sam Nunberg anyway. Cross-checking what people want to hide is a form of information gathering, too.

The working presumption of the Mueller investigation now is that nobody is clean in all of this. Everybody has something to tell about everybody else. Absent the promise of a presidential* pardon — a promise that is prima facie  worthless simply because it comes from this president* — the stampede for the lifeboats is going to be deafening this week.

[...]

Certainly, this most recent action by Mueller isn’t going to make the president* any less of a furious paranoid. Mueller’s investigation is clearly now going into the deepest, darkest corners of Everywhere. He’s looking into shady money from the United Arab Emirates and he’s questioning whether or not the Saudi blockade of Qatar was in retaliation for the Qatari sheikhs’ understandable reluctance to loan gobs of cash to Jared Kushner.

He is looking at the Trump campaign and the Trump presidency* as one massive three-year money-suck, a fundraising mechanism to enrich its inside players and to monetize the political system, and then the presidency, for every last dollar, riyal, or ruble that can be squeezed out of both of those institutions. Mueller is finding corruption everywhere he looks. He is now a fireman in hell.

[...]

There is one name curiously absent from the list: that of Vice-President Mike (Choirboy) Pence. It’s not like Pence is untouched by all these scandals. He reportedly already has cooperated with Mueller to an extent. It’s not unreasonable to speculate that Mueller doesn’t want to be tasked with decapitating the entire executive branch and that, for that reason, he’s already got at least some kind of modus vivendi in place with Pence should the worst befall the current president*.

God, I hope not. Take Pence, too. He's in this, and he's not what we need for a president.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
