Court to Trump: Drop Fed

• ✓**Subpoena power limits:** Grand jury subpoenas require almost no evidentiary threshold — not probable cause, not reasonable doubt — making Boasberg's ruling to quash them exceptionally rare. Courts block subpoenas on harassment grounds in nearly zero cases, making this decision historically significant.
• ✓**Public statements as legal evidence:** Trump's Truth Social posts attacking Powell as "too late, too stupid, and too political" were cited on page one of Boasberg's opinion as direct evidence of prosecutorial pretext, demonstrating that presidential social media posts carry concrete legal consequences in court proceedings.
