Senate Homeland Security Committee authorizes subpoenas to Obama officials in Russia probe, unmasking review
2020-06-05
[FOXNEWS] The Senate Homeland Security Committee on Thursday voted to authorize subpoenas to the FBI and other agencies for records and testimony from Obama-era officials related to the bureau’s original Russia investigation and the Justice Department inspector general’s review of that probe.

The committee voted 8-6 to give Chairman Ron Johnson, R-Wis., the authority to send subpoenas as part of the panel’s investigation into the origins of the Russia probe and the process of "unmasking."

The committee authorized subpoenas to the FBI for the production of all records related to the Crossfire Hurricane Investigation—the bureau’s internal code name for the Russia probe, which began in July 2016.

The subpoenas would cover all records made available to DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz for his review of the Russia probe and alleged misconduct surrounding the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant approvals to surveil members of the Trump campaign.

The committee also authorized subpoenas to the State Department for the production of records related to meetings or communications between State Department officials or employees with ex-British Intelligence officer Remington Christopher Steele, who compiled the now-infamous anti-Trump dossier which served as much of the basis for the FISA warrant applications to surveil former Trump campaign aide Carter Page. The subpoenas would cover documents from June 2016 through January 2017.

#3  I don't want to see subpoenas. I want to see arrest warrants, convictions and prison sentences.
Otherwise, wake me when the Kabuki theater is over.

#2  /\ Yes! Brennan and Clapper should be the 25m targets. Soetoro may be beyond reach for some time.

#1  Should we go after a Shadow President and Veep as well? Is that on the table?
