The Justice Department has issued additional subpoenas in a criminal investigation in Florida examining the US intelligence community’s response to Russian election interference in 2016, according to an AP News report on Tuesday.
It’s entirely anonymous sources for this story but, like in court, let’s take their assertions as true for the purpose of finding the facts.
If true, I think it means the investigation is not just rolling back to Trump 1.0 activity, but examining the acts in furtherance of the conspiracy since then…
Have those acts stopped?
I would argue no. I would argue that, from the moment any official realized that the treasonous conspiracy was not grounded in fact or law, any acts to further it are criminally liable.
We’re talking about undermining the President of the United States of America. We’re talking about intentional acts to stop the democratic will of the people.
If that is, in fact, the intention, then we’re talking about sedition or, if foreign-incentivized, treason.
That intent will need to be proven in court… Thankfully, there are grand juries evaluating the evidence and arguments and determining whether we are, actually, talking about treason.
People familiar with the matter say the latest subpoenas seek documents from the years following the release of a January 2017 assessment that concluded Russia interfered in the presidential race in an effort to help Donald Trump defeat Hillary Clinton.
The new demands come after an earlier round of subpoenas in November that focused on the preparation of that assessment.
Former CIA Director John Brennan, who played a central role in producing the report, has been told he is a target of the investigation. His attorneys, in a December letter to the chief judge of the Southern District of Florida, labeled the probe “manufactured” and said it remains unclear what potential crimes prosecutors are investigating.
The Justice Department has declined to comment, even as the public is anxiously awaiting further comment — and confirmation that justice is coming.
