Remember how small the team would have been back then? This is the inner circle of the inner circle--look at the list of names. This reads like an investigation of the collusion angle. Who were you talking to at the beginning and why?
Special counsel wants documents on Trump, numerous campaign associates
by KATY TUR and ALEX JOHNSON
WASHINGTON — The grand jury investigating alleged collusion between Russia and Donald Trump's presidential campaign has sent a witness a subpoena seeking all documents involving the president and a host of his closest advisers, according to a copy of the subpoena reviewed by NBC News.
According to the subpoena, which was sent to a witness by special counsel Robert Mueller, investigators want emails, text messages, work papers, telephone logs and other documents going back to Nov. 1, 2015, 4½ months after Trump launched his campaign.
The witness shared details of the subpoena on condition of anonymity. The news site Axios reported Sunday that a subpoena was sent to a witness last month.

NBC News reported last week that Mueller's team is asking pointed questions about whether Trump knew about hacked emails from Hillary Clinton's campaign before the public found out. The subpoena indicates that Mueller may be focused not just on what Trump campaign aides knew and when they knew it, but also on what Trump himself knew.
In addition to the president, the subpoena seeks documents that have anything to do with these current and former Trump associates:
Mueller reportedly subpoenas one witness's communications with Trump, among others
I'm just guessing here but I think it is RHONA GRAFF. She's the one who was his girl-Friday for decades. She was still there during the election and I think stayed, as a Trump Enterprise employee. She was interviewed (in secret) by the House Committee (IN NYC at Trump Tower over a holiday weekend) but not Mueller until now as far as we know. Trump doesn't use email so I'm betting she pulled off emails for him, has the phone numbers, logs, daily 'planner', the contacts, the messages--all of it. (Assuming they weren't shredded long ago). She sure seems like the most logical who we have heard very little about but integral before and during the campaign.

In addition to the president, the subpoena seeks documents that have anything to do with these current and former Trump associates:
- Steve Bannon, who left the White House as chief strategist in August.
- Michael Cohen, a personal lawyer for Trump who testified before congressional investigators in October.
- Rick Gates, Trump's former deputy campaign manager, who pleaded guilty last month to conspiracy and lying to the FBI.
- Hope Hicks, who resigned last week as Trump's communications director.
- Corey Lewandowski, Trump's campaign manager until June 2016.
- Paul Manafort, a former Trump campaign manager and Gates' business partner, who pleaded not guilty to money laundering, conspiracy and making false statements last week.
- Carter Page, a former Trump campaign aide.
- Keith Schiller, a former bodyguard for Trump who left as director of Oval Office operations in September.
- Roger Stone, a longtime Republican political operative and Trump campaign adviser who sources have told NBC News is the focus of investigators interested in his contacts with WikiLeaks during the campaign.
