Is this IT!??? CNN: "Grand jury subpoenas issued in FBI's Russia investigation"

CNN exclusive: Grand jury subpoenas issued in FBI's Russia investigation

Subpoenas issued in FBI's Russia investigation
Now Playing Flynn: Who knew what...
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

She's been six months ahead of everyone else. And she's declared total victory.

It's starting to seem like Trump's firing of Comey was a panicky gesture in the face of the oncoming tide.

And it's backfired. Because now there's no real doubt as to the big picture. Trump operates in large primal signals, and firing Comey at this very moment was a tacit admission of guilt, even for the Orc Hordes that love him.

Ironically, their total devotion to the New Racist Psychopathic God has led them directly into betraying their nation. They've all just walked right into it. Bizarre.

Yep—I take it he’s a fast learner, but still, McMaster, Tillerson, Priebus, Mattis, what’s-his-name head of personnel, Pompeo, Cohn, Powell, and of course Jivanka need to be the next to go.

THANK GOD! Now hire a special prosecutor, gather the evidence, Impanel a Grand Jury, indicate his butt, bring him to trial, convict him and IMPRISON Comey for a VERY LONG TIME. Comey is a national disgrace!

team work-they have great sources-they might not get it 100% right which is not uncommon when breaking big stories but they have outlined the direction of these investigations for months when MSM was no where to be seen and quite frankly condescending

Federal prosecutors have issued grand jury subpoenas as part of the ongoing probe of Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election, according to a new report.

The subpoenas to associates of former national security adviser Michael Flynn are seeking business records, CNN said Tuesday.

CNN confirmed with people familiar with the matter that the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Alexandria, Va., issued the subpoenas in recent weeks.

The subpoenas are a significant escalation of the FBI’s broader investigation into possible ties between Russia and President Trump’s 2016 campaign.
