Russiagate Is Finally Heading Somewhere Washington Hates: Under Oath

Washington has spent nearly a decade arguing about Russiagate in congressional hearings, cable studios, memoirs, podcasts, and carefully lawyered statements.

Now somebody is bringing subpoenas.

The Justice Department has begun compelling former government officials to testify before a federal grand jury in Florida investigating whether crimes were committed during the government's Trump-Russia investigations.

From the Associated Press:

Quote
The Justice Department is demanding testimony before a Florida grand jury in an investigation aiming to establish an intelligence community conspiracy against President Donald Trump, according to multiple people familiar with the matter.

New subpoenas being issued to former government officials represent an escalation in the year-long investigation as the Justice Department pursues a loosely defined theory that members of the intelligence community who scrutinized Trump over the last decade, including over Russian interference in the 2016 election, conspired against him and violated his rights.

Investigators in recent days contacted some defense lawyers for witnesses advising them of forthcoming grand jury subpoenas. It was not clear how many as of Tuesday had received a subpoena or were still waiting to receive one, and the identities of the witnesses receiving subpoenas were also not immediately clear. The people who confirmed the subpoenas spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to discuss a secretive grand jury investigation.

False dichotomy..

Torn between posting these here, in Mind Numbing Stupidity or Terrorism In The US, cause all three apply.

Socialism 2026 conference declares GLP-1s stem from 'fat genocide,' demands prison 'abolition,' plans massive May Day 2028 action

Curious how they doublethink their way out of needing to lock up Trump with "it's not ok to say someone should be sent to prison"  :mental:

Socialist Conference: Democrats ‘Must Be Destroyed,’ ‘Can’t Be Reasoned With’[/b]

Open calls for violence against those who disagree, even if they are Democrats.  I'm not finding attendance or ticket sales numbers (yes, you had to buy a ticket to get into the socialist convention) but the fact there were enough people to hold this thing (annually apparently) is getting very scary.

Hey, wait a second. They're not entirely wrong about the bolded.

So he's for voter ID, against excessively long mail-in ballot periods, not counting votes that weren't submitted in time, and all that good stuff?

Wait, no? What did he secure, then?

He's a Dem Party Liar-Lawyer. He's trying to secure the Dem Party's avenues for election fraud.

EXCLUSIVE: UN Sought to ‘Cover-Up’ UNRWA Staff’s Role in Oct 7 Attack and Ties to Hamas by Undermining Internal Probe, US Watchdog Finds

https://freebeacon.com/national-security/exclusive-un-sought-to-cover-up-unrwa-staffs-role-in-oct-7-attack-and-ties-to-hamas-by-undermining-internal-probe-us-watchdog-finds/

Quote
The U.N. internal investigation into whether its own staff at the embattled United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) participated in Hamas's Oct. 7 massacre was hamstrung and ineffective from day one, according to an independent U.S. review of the U.N. probe, congressional communications, and Western diplomats who spoke to the Washington Free Beacon. The shoddy probe ultimately enabled the United Nations to claim that in 9 of the 19 cases under review, the evidence was "insufficient to support" staff involvement in the terror spree, a finding meant to exonerate the agency and discredit Israeli intelligence.

The U.S. probe, laid out in a previously unpublished December 2025 report by the U.S. Agency for International Development's (USAID) independent inspector general, found that the U.N. officials placed such tight restrictions on their probe—set an impossibly high burden of proof—that the findings were ultimately useless. The American conclusions about the U.N. probe are privately leading Western donor countries to "reconsider future financial commitments" to UNRWA, which has come under increasing pressure to clean house after the USAID inspector general discovered more than 100 staffers served as Hamas combatants or participated in Oct. 7, according to one diplomat who spoke to the Free Beacon.

UN complicity with Arab Pali terrorist groups dates at least to the Yom Kippur War or Six Day War time frame. It's a tradition.

 To hear dems concerned about elections being secure and their anti-fascist fears...this coming from the side electing socialists and trying to allow anyone to vote using any method they want just leaves me speechless.

Did it really take 6 Replies for some DU-member to get Marc Elias's given name correct?
