The reality: Dems know the White House will blow off subpoenas, same as during President Trump's first term.
The strategy: Businesses and billionaires have to answer subpoenas. So paint them as villains to undermine Trump.
Look for the subpoena list to include:
- Law firms that signed deals with President Trump.
- Media giants that settled.
- Donors to the White House ballroom.
- Top execs who negotiated to give the government a stake in their companies.
- Profit-enablers of Trump relatives or families of Cabinet members.
