WASHINGTON — The Justice Department has issued about 40 subpoenas over the past week seeking information about the actions of former President Donald J. Trump and his associates related to the 2020 election and the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, according to people familiar with the situation.

Two top Trump advisers, Boris Epshteyn and Mike Roman, had their phones seized as evidence, those people said.

The department’s actions represent a substantial escalation of a slow-simmer investigation two months before the midterm elections, coinciding with a separate inquiry into Mr. Trump’s hoarding of sensitive documents at his residence in Florida, Mar-a-Lago.

Among those the department has contacted since Wednesday are people who are close to the former president and have played significant roles in his post-White House life.

It’s not just Reps, but Senators, who are connected to fake electors scam, etc.

Phone records are going to cause real pain.

ETA verb, important detail.

14. Like Ron Johnson n/t

[Kid Berwyn]

18. That guy.

Tasked with turning in fake state elector slates to Pence, Ronjon said he was a traitor for just “a couple of seconds.”

10. "The department's actions represent a substantial escalation of a slow-simmer investigation"

I suppose they were asleep white reporting a HUGE seizure just a month ago? How is that "slow"?

[Fiendish Thingy]

11. Well, that might be a clue to the topic of today's golf course Capo summit. Nt

[Ellipsis]

12. Thanks for the OP

...just read it.

[Novara]

13. What election rule?

Two months before the midterms is definitely less than the "90-day rule" that isn't really a rule (I'm looking at you Comey).

Merrick Garland is kicking ass. Whee!

[Warpy]

15. Maybe this is the reason for the sudden departure from golf

and the mysterious trip to DC followed by a golf course meeting among his inner circle of traitors and scumbags.

Something has spooked the SOB.

[Evolve Dammit]

16. Let us hope that justice is finally in the works.

[Beastly Boy]

17. Forrrty! Forrrty subpoenas! Ha-ha-ha-ha!

?w=700

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

[SlimJimmy]

19. One of the subpoenas is for a Trumpf lawyer

asking for phone records and emails. Doesn't that violate attorney client privilege?

[Justice matters.]

20. Attorney client privilege cannot be invoked to cover for criminal activities.

I guess there are a lot of rats scared of doing time in the slammer!

[SlimJimmy]

21. How is this determined?

I understand about criminal activity. But attorney client privilege is an important concept. Not to be taken lightly.

[Justice matters.]

23. May be witnesses under Oath. n/t

[SlimJimmy]

26. Thanks. (nt)

[Ladythatvotesblue]

24. LOCK THEM UP

lock them all up those traitors. Liars!

[Brainfodder]

25. Look at media pushing the 60 day crap!

Sorry Mitch you made it 11 day crap!
