I wonder whether Nunberg's more interested in protecting Bannon (who's the most surprising name on his subpoena) than Trump. https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/03/05/the-nunberg-subpoena-is-he-protecting-bannon-rather-than-trump/ …

I guess this confirms that the subpoena everyone has been reproducing is Nunberg's.https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/former-trump-aide-sam-nunberg-called-before-grand-jury-says-he-will-refuse-to-go/2018/03/05/24c8b86a-20a9-11e8-badd-7c9f29a55815_story.html …

It is sad that this whole affair is making otherwise fair minded people think grand juries are good or somehow ameliorate society's problems (they are actually bad)
-
They seem a pretty effective tool for discovery when witnesses refuse to cooperate fully. If you feel the GJ might be too fast to indict people then there's the backstop of legal due process through the courts (as for any other trial).

I don't think it should be possible to grill people about things without charge. The idea of charging people for trying to "right to remain silent" is wrong. A radical friend of mine got hit by a subpoena minutes before I ran into her one day - she spent months in jail silent
