What, exactly, does any of this have to do with the January 6 idiocy? It’s just more proof that this is a fishing expedition, designed to go after Trump supporters and chill people’s Constitutional rights
The Justice Department issued dozens of subpoenas to Donald Trump’s aides and associates for information about the 2020 election and the Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021, according to The New York Times and CNN.
The flurry of subpoenas suggested the investigation, which is separate from the seizure of Trump administration documents from Mar-a-Lago, is picking up pace.
At least two Trump aides, Boris Epshteyn and Mark Roman, had their phones seized as evidence, according to the Times. Epshteyn declined comment.
The subpoenas seek information about the Trump campaign’s plan to organize alternate slates of electors in states President Joe Biden won. Epshteyn had copied on emails in late 2020 from Trump lawyer John Eastman, who developed the plan.
Eastman has already been subpoenaed and had his phone seized. Eastman earlier refused to answer questions from the House panel investigating the Capitol attack or a grand jury in Georgia based on his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.
Another subpoena recipient was Bernard Kerik, the former New York City police commissioner, who coordinated the investigation of claims of voter fraud with Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani.
None of that has anything to directly with any of the violence, which there wasn’t much, and the people wandering through the Capitol Building on January 6th. Sure, they’ll say “if they weren’t doing this stuff, people wouldn’t have been mad.” If they want to do that, well, which Democrats do we hold responsible for violence on January 20th, 2016, when Trump was inaugurated? How about for all the violence in the wake of George Floyd?
(Kerik’s attorney) Parlatore said the department’s latest subpoena read as if the current investigation had no focus and asked Kerik about names he didn’t recognize.
“The normal DOJ subpoena looks like rifle shots,” Parlatore said. “This looks like a whole bunch of scatter-shot shotgun blasts, almost like a spray-and-pray mindset.”
You don’t say
(The Hill) Attorney Timothy Parlatore said the subpoena was served early last week when a team of FBI agents arrived at Kerik’s home. Parlatore would not share the subpoena, but described it as broad.
“Basically, give us anything and everything related to anybody that is tangentially related to the Trump campaign including a long, long laundry list,” he said.
So, basically a fishing expedition and intimidation tactics. And why is the DOJ doing the work of the Congressional J6 committee? Separation of Branches. This is a political witchhunt. They aren’t attempting to find out what happened over a year and a half ago.
Brandon and the dems getting really nervous about the midterms.

Bwaha! Lolgf
Teach: None of that has anything to directly with any of the violence (Jan 6)
SQUIRREL!! shouts Teach. The attack on America on Jan 6 was bad enough, but worse was the conspiracy to defraud the American people of the their Constitutional right to have their votes count. tRump and his minions attempted a coup starting around the time of the Nov2021 election (that tRump lost bigly). Do MAGAts feel attempted coups are legal as long as they are unsuccessful?
Sticking with the false narrative are we, Rimjob?
Guess that’s all you got.
#HeilBiden
Bwaha! Lolgf
What conspiracy? Tons of evidence in 3..2…1 coming from J, as usual..
What coup? Evidence, please. Good luck!
It’s interesting that the NYTimes tells the truth while the winger-o-sphere media was spreading lies about the “gestapo” raiding homes.
Wouldn’t it be great if the DOJ put this much effort into something that mattered?
Criminal gangs?
Organized crime?
Corruptions by high officials in the government?
Massive fraud perpetrated against Americans?
Prosecuting all of Epstein’s “customers”?
Squashing all traces of modern slavery and human trafficking in America?
You know. Real crimes.
Now look, goddammit, we have another election to steal.

Bwaha! Lolgf
Is there a greater crime than attempting to overturn a presidential election?
Sure, sure, it’s a white collar crime, never as bad as some black kid stealing pizza money, but the impact of destroying any vestige of American democracy is still somewhat serious, right?
And you listed: Corruptions by high officials in the government? and Massive fraud perpetrated against Americans? which is what the current investigation is all about.
and Prosecuting all of Epstein’s “customers”?
Just so you know, tRump had Geoffrey Berman fired, ostensibly for investigating Giuliani, Toensing and Cohen (but maybe for looking into Epstein’s associates?). Barr left the DOJ over tRump’s false claims of election fraud.
“Just because someone ignores the facts, doesn’t mean those facts don’t exist”. – Harvey Pooka (1950)
Keep on lying, liar. As the illegal junta tightens its grip on political enemies the election nears. Looks like the insurrectionists that installed the current pretender to his post are preparing an all out steal. Nothin new here.
“But right now, according to the subpoena that we have obtained, Merrick Garland’s DOJ is demanding all communication from the following people on this topic, and let’s be clear before we read their names, that it is not clear what the investigation is actually about and that’s the most terrifying part,” he asserted.
“What is this? On what grounds are you demanding my private communications with people? They never say but included in this precedent-breaking sweep of political opponents of the Biden White House would be former White House adviser Bernie Kerik, who was the former police commissioner of New York City; Boris Epshteyn, who is the current attorney for Donald Trump. At no time in American history has it been okay to grab the personal communications of someone’s lawyer because those are privileged. Not anymore,” Carlson said.
“Matt Morgan; Justin Clark; Kenneth Chesebro and Mike Roman; RNC official Joshua Findlay; Trump Attorneys John Eastman, Jenna Ellis, Joe DiGenova, James Troupis, Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Victoria Toensing, Cleta Mitchell, and Bruce Marks. We could go on and on and on and on,” he continued.
US Attorney for the Southern District of New York Geoffrey Berman said the investigation of Epstein’s alleged conduct, including a conspiracy charge, remains ongoing, and Attorney General Bill Barr similarly said the case will continue against anyone who was complicit with Epstein.
Bullshit. Not ONE person indicted, not ONE indicted with the Hunter laptop fiasco.
Not only do you repeat the lies I think you actually believe them!
MAGA liar.
Did the dems actually hold a “rally” (consisting of all WH and Congressional Aides) on the WH lawn to celebrate their “inflation reduction” bill? Lol, Lol, Lol.
Inflation is in reality (try and get Dowd to see that) about 15.5%. Prices keep going up plus the market dumped $1200 points TWELVE HUNDRED DOWD!!!!!
You guys are murdering America and you refuse to accept it!
Liars, grifters, communists, nazis and criminals.
MAGA creep!
So our J of course continues to offer up zero evidence of his crack-pot assertions.. Why, this must be Tuesday…
