Senate panel approves more subpoenas for probe into FBI's Russia investigation
CNN ^ | 09 16 2020 | Jeremy Herb

The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee approved another round of subpoenas Wednesday for depositions to dozens of officials from the Obama administration as part of the panel's investigation into the FBI's 2016 Russia investigation.

The subpoenas -- which were sent to such officials as former CIA Director John Brennan, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former FBI Director James Comey -- are the latest sign that the committee is ramping up its probes of President Donald Trump's political opponents ahead of the November election. The subpoenas approved on a party-line vote Wednesday were separate from the panel's investigation into a Ukrainian energy firm and former Vice President Joe Biden, which Homeland Security Chairman Ron Johnson has said he plans to release soon.

But Democrats have accused Johnson, a Wisconsin Republican, of using both investigations to try to smear Trump's opponents ahead of the election -- and advance a narrative pushed by Russian-linked operatives to denigrate Biden. One Republican on the committee expressed concerns that the Ukrainian investigation "had the earmarks of a political exercise."

It's not yet October so there's still time for an October Surprise.

Will there be?

“The committee has previously authorized subpoenas for documents to most of the same officials it subpoenaed for depositions on Wednesday. The party-line vote Wednesday added seven new officials to the list, including former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe.”

I’ll rephrase. Who processed and responded to the first “round”?

Per some attorneys and Senators on Fox recently, Senate can’t do anything except listen to RATs’ lies. Only DOJ can actually make them pay for their crimes. So this will be theater.

Unlike Democrats who would never spend 3 years investigating Trump over a 'Russia collusion' hoax for political reasons.

Oh wait.. this hoax is what the republicans are investigating.

Washington is a silly place.

Little late I think. They will stall to appear until after election. Like say they have COVID or something. This should have been done after Mueller report and/or earlier this year.
