That sound you hear is Republicans quaking in their shoes as they wonder which one of them is going to get a subpoena to testify about any campaign contributions they received through these channels. I wonder how many members of Congress get called before Trump and Barr try to shut down SDNY from investigating Republican campaign contributions
that thread is going to be very long, and lead to a lot of people.

“Former Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX) received a subpoena over his contacts with Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani from a grand jury in connection with a Manhattan federal criminal investigation of the former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York.”

This ain’t Congress.

This is DOJ, a criminal investigation, and a grand jury.

Enjoy your time in the barrel, jackass; the rest of the GOP gang’ll be along shortly.

The Grand Jury is drafting the subpoena for Rudy as we speak. At least we can hope they are.

I understand the Republican Party will soon be looking for a new name. Perhaps they can save time and go with “Subpoenaed Party”? They wouldn’t lose a single member.

Well, I was hoping for Jeff but I’ll settle for Pete.

Maybe, but if he’s a target of the investigation, they won’t. I suspect Rudy is a target.

So Grenade Giuliani seems to be imploding a number of people’s careers with his involvement in Ukrainegate/Trump and his clients of the ‘Fraud Guarantee’ business!

Trump has Grenade Giuliani acting as the “shadow state secretary”

And also has Jared as his Nepotistic state secretary


Is Pompeo the “acting or in name only” state secretary?
Is Bannon the Person-Non-Grata shadow state secretary?
Is Barr the Coverup shadow state secretary?

All told, Trump’s Thugs-R-Us Ukrainegate Co-Conspirators are busy guaranteeing fraud in behalf & to benefit Trump and their loathsome selves!

Please, let Sessions be found to be dirty. I mean, we all know he IS. But I’d love for him to be slimed in this as well.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see breaking news of a search warrant being executed on Giuliani’s residence, office locations, etc. in the next few days.

Letter signed by DoD Legislative Affairs chief, not by counsel. Significant. Gov’t lawyers may be getting cold feet about signing this bullshit.

Exactly, this is how Cynthia Alksne (I just love her) described it yesterday:

“What we know about federal investigations and the way we’ve always done them, sort of like a swirling tornado. You go around and around and every way you can before you get to the center and actually interview the subject or the target of the investigation. That looks pretty much to be where Rudy Guiliani is today,” Alksne concluded.

What he doesn’t understand is why Trump is telling him one thing on the phone and then screaming to the cameras about sanctions.
