The Justice Department’s investigation of the Jan. 6 attack ratcheted up Wednesday as federal agents dropped subpoenas on people in at least two states, in what appeared to be a widening probe of how political activists supporting President Donald Trump tried to use invalid electors to thwart Joe Biden’s 2020 electoral victory.

Agents conducted court authorized law enforcement activity Wednesday morning at two locations, FBI officials confirmed to The Washington Post. One was the home of Brad Carver, a Georgia lawyer who allegedly signed a document claiming to be a Trump elector. The other was the Virginia home of Thomas Lane, who worked on the Trump campaign’s efforts in Arizona and New Mexico. The FBI officials did not identify the people associated with those addresses, but public records list each of the locations as the home addresses of the men.

Separately, at least some of the would-be Trump electors in Michigan also received subpoenas on Wednesday, according to a person who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation.

The precise nature of the information being sought by the Justice Department wasn’t immediately clear; however, Arizona and Georgia officials testified Tuesday to a House panel probing the Jan. 6 attacks about attempts by Trump and his inner circle of advisers to try to reverse Biden’s electoral college victories in those states.

1. The fuck around phase is drawing to a close

Now it's time to find out. Georgia lawyer Brad Carver may just find out that his livelihood depends a great deal on not falsely swearing in an affidavit. I would be gratified to find out that one of those subpoenas has Senator Johnson's name on it.

3. What happens to otherwise intelligent people that makes them do...

illegal things for trump?

Signing a fake elector document has to be one of the dumbest things ever to do as those docs will are highly scrutinized by many people on the county, state and federal level.

Now they've got life disruption, continued employment worries and lawyer fees up the yin yang in an attempt to stay out of jail.

Not smart at all.
