    Is it unethical for a lawyer to provide subpoenas to 3X the people they expect to call to prevent Manafort's mob buddies from knowing which witnesses to tamper with?

        Why would it be unethical? Analogy: in a tort, lawyers sue everyone remotely possible to ensure that they've covered the universe properly. This might mean in a malpractice suit, a doctor is sued who never examined or treated the patient but whose name might appear in records.

        Are those subpoenas to produce documents, or to show up in court on a given day in a specific city that might require travel, or to be ready to show up with further notice? I'd sure consider it an ethical issue if I were required to fly to DC on my own dime to be a smokescreen.

        They might as well expand it to include associates of associates to be safe. Who does Junior golf with?

        No. As long as the witnesses are relevant to the case and on the Government’s list provided to defense counsel.

        He's also having his associates light three camp fires each to fool spies.

        Not likely Mueller would subpoena these guys blind. They’ve likely all testified to GJ on the record. Hard to contradict that.

        Yes, think of the greater good. If the risk of on going behavior harms or knowing identities could cause harm, then yes also.

        To be fair, Podesta could be caught up in all of this depending on how expansive it gets. The Podesta Group was already named in some charges I believe. Obama's not involved in the slightest. The international consulting is a bipartisan scam though.

        The question for me is if it's legal. If it is, go for it. We are already dealing with the most unethical admin in US history so fight fire with fire?
