FROM EIR DAILY ALERT

Justice Department Coup Teams Pulls Stunt on Eve of State of the Union

Feb. 5, 2019 (EIRNS)—The pattern is familiar. Just as President Donald Trump is scheduled for any important intervention, be it a summit with the President of Russia or China, or tonight’s State of the Union address, the British-run coup apparatus strikes immediately beforehand on some judicial flank, seeking to smear and undercut the U.S. President.

So, in the wee hours of this morning, the news broke that the Department of Justice had subpoenaed the Trump Inaugural Committee for a wide range of documents, at the request of the Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s Office to which Special Counsel Robert Mueller had shopped this criminal investigation earlier. Conveniently, various chosen media were given “access” to the subpoena. According to press reports, the subpoenas are for documents related to inaugural donors, vendors, contractors, bank accounts, and any information related to foreign contributors to the inaugural committee. Crimes under investigation include two particularly sinister ones: whether “payments [were] made directly by donors to vendors—which would flout disclosure rules” (according to the Wall Street Journal), and if anyone who attended the inaugural events were promised photo-ops with the President-elect (ABC News). No mention yet of Russian catering services being hired.
