#BreakingNews CNN is reporting Jocelyn Ballantine is who sought subpoenas on @RepSwalwell @RepAdamSchiff, and Don McCahn.
Jocelyn Ballantine lied about McCabe and Strzok agreeing to the authenticity or accuracy of transcripts in the Micheal Flynn case.

Jocelyn Ballantine is a federal prosecutor.
How do you know she lied about Strzok? I believe you but it seems this runs deep also.

(11,868 posts)Was this just on twitter and not the national broadcast channel? I'm not understanding how this twitter feed from a non CNN source is CNN Breaking News. I'm not finding any direct link to CNN? Can you help me?

(11,868 posts)I scrolled through, and don't see a mention of this story. Can you help me find the CNN breaking news link, please? I can't find it, and I have CNN on now and they're not talking about this story. I'm so frustrated.

(6,639 posts)what I found on Twitter. I don't believe that CNN has reported anything about this topic recently. I found some mentions of Jocelyn Ballantine from a couple of years ago, but nothing recent.

(7,510 posts)"Every career prosecutor involved in the case declined to participate in this mockery of justice, and no Justice Department official or outside expert can find a precedent for such a blatant abdication of the Department's responsibilities," Democratic Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse and Richard Blumenthal wrote to Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who previously found the FBI's Russia investigation was properly opened.
In the Flynn case this week, the two career prosecutors who were publicly handling it, Brandon Van Grack and Ballantine, didn't sign the document. Ballantine sent it to the court -- as a trial attorney in the office, she had access to the court's electronic filing system -- while Van Grack, who oversaw Flynn's plea deal during the Mueller investigation, withdrew from the case an hour before the Justice Department announced it would drop Flynn's lying charge. Two other prosecutors who previously appeared before the judge in the case are no longer with the Justice Department.

(7,510 posts)Additional inadvertent alterations by DOJ also occurred on one document attributed to former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, according to the filing. In McCabes case, however, the government says they used and forgot to remove clear sticky notes (with a colored tab).

(22,344 posts)Is there a chance in hell that a federal prosecutor gets a judge to sign off on a subpoena for sitting members of Congress and the White House council WITHOUT approval from the attorney general or their second in command?
I mean I just have a hard time believing any prosecutor has pull like that to get a subpoena without someone at the top of the food chain backing her up

No way this happened without the three of them knowing.
