Trump has MORE to fear from the SDNY than from Robert Mueller......

This week, we learned that the Southern District of New York -- my former office -- dropped an incendiary subpoena on President Donald Trump's inaugural committee seeking evidence of mail fraud, wire fraud, money laundering, conspiracy and illegal foreign contributions, and has requested interviews with Trump Organization executives. This is particularly bad news for Trump because, in many respects, the SDNY poses an even more potent threat than special counsel Robert Mueller.
As accomplished and respected as Mueller is, the SDNY has important structural advantages. While Mueller is limited by his appointment to investigating coordination between Russia and the Trump campaign (and matters that "arise directly" from such coordination), the SDNY has no substantive constraints and can go wherever the evidence leads.

Just when Donald Trump thought things could not get any worse for him, the SDNY has ramped up its investigation into the Trump Foundation, the Trump Organization, the Trump Campaign, the Trump Transition team, and the Trump Administration, as well as the Trump family as a whole.
