Washington (CNN) Federal prosecutors have issued grand jury subpoenas to associates of former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn seeking business records, as part of the ongoing probe of Russian meddling in last year's election, according to people familiar with the matter.

CNN learned of the subpoenas hours before President Donald Trump fired FBI director James Comey.
The subpoenas represent the first sign of a significant escalation of activity in the FBI's broader investigation begun last July into possible ties between Trump campaign associates and Russia.

The subpoenas issued in recent weeks by the US Attorney's Office in Alexandria, Virginia, were received by associates who worked with Flynn on contracts after he was forced out as director of the Defense Intelligence Agency in 2014, according to the people familiar with the investigation.

Robert Kelner, an attorney for Flynn, declined to comment. The US Attorney's Office in Alexandria, the Justice Department and the FBI also declined to comment.

1. Surely its just a coincidence?

2. There'll be enough perjury there for a John Grisham novel.

I hope they know to expect that, and will nail them for it.

3. Also reports of indictments

These reports are less reliable, at this point, but indicate multiple grand jury indictments have been issued. Also that passport holds have been placed on multiple persons of interest, keeping them in the country.

6. Does this mean our democracy is still intact? Can I breathe, now?

If the justice department and the media can operate without fRump's illegal interruptions, we may just survive....

It's decision time for the GOP: play along with the toddler tyrant and hope he spares you, or call his cards. There is no honor or trust among thieves.
