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.

...

Federal prosecutors didn’t work for Comey. Oh wait, he made the decision not to prosecute Mrs Clinton, so maybe they did.

CNN sucks.

They should set up a leak trap to expose McCabe as a leaker.

AND GET HIM OUT OF THE FBI!

Speaking of subpoenas, when does Susan Rice get hers?


Excellent question. Hopefully as soon as more of the Swamp snakes are gone.

Most likely someone on the receiving end of the subpoena, if it’s true at all.

Susan Rice has a D next to her name, she is exempt from anything negative being said or done to her
Plus she's black...I'm not afraid to say it.

McCabe and Comey will be well paid not to talk.
The other side has effectively unlimited money.

I think about half the country eats up this stuff, and the other half are sick to death of it. The real question is which half constitutes a voting majority.

I agree with you. And prefer to think we're in the sick of it half.

DRAIN THE SWAMP!!

Judges do not issue grand jury subpenas. Magistrates do issue search warrants. US attorneys sign grand jury subs.

Subpoena for records does not indicate a crime. Calling it a Grand Jury subpoena makes it sound “bad”. A Duces Tecum Subpoena for records is a common sign of a fishing expedition.

Why wasn’t Dead Red Ted Kennedy investigated for colluding with the Soviets to interfere with the 1984 US presidential election?

I think he used the word Judge..but he could have just equated magistrate with judge. Dont know what position he had in clinton WH. He did use the word warrant.

Jeff flake has tweeted..about what you would expect from him on comey.
