1. What a bold face lie . . . ..

That's all they do is lie.

[FBaggins]

6. Not sure how they would expect to get away with it

Somebody approved getting the subpoenas and that investigation will have a paper trail.

[malaise]

2. So did the Slobfather have his own Politburo?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

[panader0]

3. Liars!

[pandr32]

4. Seriously?

If that was to be believed it would mean they had a traitorous rogue group of underlings. Not Obama's people because they were targeting Democrats in office.
Sure.

[Budi]

5. I know nothing!

[dawg day]

7. The amazing "untouched by human hands" subpoena requests!

So what secretary or paralegal are they going to blame this on?

"That mail clerk! The one going to law school at night! He must have drawn up these papers, not any of us!!"

I don't think this is going to last long. The Inspector General seems to be investigating now. He must be the only IG Trump didn't fire, however, which is a bit worrisome. Getting fired by Trump is a badge of honor

[SamsDrink]

8. Then Who Authorized?

Trump?

[crickets]

20. Exactly.

Trying to claim they didn't know is a lie, or an admission they had no proper authority, oversight, and control of the department they were supposed to be running. Neither is a good look.

[Marrah_Goodman]

27. Exactly. There needs to be an investigation

[drray23]

9. there are two possibilities.

Either they are not lying and this means we have deep moles in the justice department that are career civil servants who issued these subpoenas which is scary or of course they are lying to cover their assess.

[C_U_L8R]

10. When have any of them spoke truth?

I got nothing. I can't think of a single instance.

[Autumn]

11. What a load of fucking Bull *cough* shit

[Deuxcents]

12. Is amnesia contagious?

The justice department needs fumigated and those who have left need a truth serum injection.

[Murphyb849]

13. Well...

Now it's time to look at the tooth fairy and bigfoot

[smirkymonkey]

14. I'm sorry, but bullshit!

[spanone]

15. THEY. ALL. LIE.

[Takket]

16. this can't be that hard to figure out...

someone asked the grand jury for a subpoena. and then someone gave the subpoena to Apple.

that "someone" must have a phone number... the media should be asking that person who told them to do what.

[BComplex]

28. You're right, of course: this would be very easily traced. I want them to say it under OATH.

Then we can finally lock their useless asses up, too!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

17. So nobody knew what was going on?

If true it means you guys weren't doing your job.

[soothsayer]

18. They don't mind looking stupid. Just shrugging and pretending they didn't know

Ugh

[dalton99a]

19. The subpoenas were sent by space aliens

and then renewed three times by space aliens

[sprinkleeninow]

22. Or mb space lasers destroyed them b4 they could be served?

[Kid Berwyn]

21. So, if they didn't, who did?

[a kennedy]

23. THEY WERE ALL IN ON IT.......🤬 🤬 🤬

they ALL know. 🤬 🤬 🤬

[moondust]

24. So...rogue MAGAt at DOJ?

Acting on orders from the "top"?

Ask Apple and Microsoft for the signatures on the documents.

[marble falls]

25. Even if they really didn't know about it, they sure as hell should have known about it.

[keithbvadu2]

26. The guy who brought us coffee?

The guy who brought us coffee?

Somebody's name is on the documents.

[tinrobot]

29. Subpoenas Congressmen and their families? Sorry, but those aren't normal subpoenas.

Those sorts of things need high level clearance.

[UTUSN]

30. Or, under their NAMES?!1

[Brainfodder]

31. Why would they start telling it like it is all of a sudden when in that DEEP?

[Progressive Jones]

32. Investigate, find some answers, then put 'em under oath and see if the answers line up.

Make 'em choke on the stand.

Fuckin' crooks.

[uponit7771]

33. " ... a source says..."

[kentuck]

34. Ask Devin.

He would know.
