OTOH, it’s not that stunning when you remember that the frigging Church of Scientology was able to penetrate and compromise a large part of the US government with Operation Snow White.
And that operation was concurrent with others of a similar nature, some of which are listed here.
I’ve seen stories that the Secret Service is preventing a subpoena from being served on Jared Kushner.
What would the Secret Service do if an arrest warrant or impeachment whatever was to be served on Trump?
And more importantly, is that actually a part of their duty? AFAIK, their job involves physically protecting the President and his family and some staff. It does not involve running interference against process servers.
Isn’t that obstruction of justice, anyway?
Reasonable questions not permitted! <points to the door> Get out! No soup for you!
Too easy. They like to yell about witch hunts, so burn 'em.
Obama and his administration DID tell the Cheeto bastard.
Kushner’s lawyer, Abbe Lowell finally accepted service of the DNC’s complaint on July 18.
In its filing, the DNC said it served all the defendants in their lawsuit. These include the Trump Campaign, Donald Trump Jr., Roger Stone, George Papadopoulos, Paul Manafort, Richard Gates and Emin Agalarov. The DNC suit also names foreign defendants including Russia, WikiLeaks and Julian Assange.
It’s likely that Ecuador is going to evict Assange from their embassy in London and turn him over to British authorities.
The judge has named the five people who got immunity. They are James Brennan, Donna Duggan, Conor O’Brien, Cindy Laporta and Dennis Raico.
They are all related to financial institutions.
This is the guy who offered the “defense” against the idea that Putin had compromising material on him, that:

Because, yeah. When you’re blackmailing someone, of COURSE you release what you have on them as soon as you get it! That’s how blackmailing works!
:smack:
(Not to detract from the excellent answer Defensive Indifference gave to Max’s post.)
Conan O’Brien and Cyndi Lauper are gonna get some serious MAGA-hate soon enough. 
Also Donna Douglas, Dennis Franz, and the estate of Walter Brennan.
I actually looked up Donna Douglas on IMDB yesterday 'cause I thought, “What HAS Ellie Mae been up to!?” Sadly, she died in 2015 at the age of 82–I *cannot *picture her at that age. Up in heaven, she can have all the critters she wants.
Carry on.
As one of the commenters suggested, Alex Jones apparently hasbeen drinking too much Fluorinated water:
These alt-right guys seem to have an bizarre fascination with pedophilia. Kinda reminds me of those closeted vehement anti-gay religious family-value types who are then caught having gay sex.
Shouldn’t he get a visit from the FBI for threatening to kill a Federal Prosecutor?
Should I be concerned that those are also MY accountants? (Nobody wants to hear-“your accountants were given immunity otherwise they would be pleading the Fifth”.)
They have certainly paid visits to people making similar threats, and so yes – I think he should. This is really dangerous stuff.
Can I ask a dumb question? We keep hearing about how the Russians went through this roundabout way to affect the election. It doesn’t appear that the voting system is all that secure, and apparently hacking was their bread and butter. So, why wouldn’t the Russians have just directly affected the vote totals? Are we going to find out at some point that they did?
I can only assume that they did try to affect vote totals. And, I think there’s a decent chance they succeeded in at least some states or districts. Many of our electronic voting machines have been found to have glaring security vulnerabilities, including poor internal logging in some cases. I think it’s definitely possible that some votes were manipulated, and the poor controls on the systems compounded with the decentralized way we do elections means that we will likely never be able to prove it one way or the other. I haven’t seen anything in the news to make me say there definitely was tampering, but I think the question is a serious one.
