Justice Dept. Issues 40 Subpoenas in a Week, Expanding Its Jan. 6 Inquiry

It also seized the phones of two top Trump advisers, a sign of an escalating investigation two months before the midterm elections.

WASHINGTON — Justice Department officials have seized the phones of two top advisers to former President Donald J. Trump and blanketed his aides with about 40 subpoenas in a substantial escalation of the investigation into his efforts to subvert the 2020 election, people familiar with the inquiry said on Monday.

The seizure of the phones, coupled with a widening effort to obtain information from those around Mr. Trump after the 2020 election, represent some of the most aggressive steps the department has taken thus far in its criminal investigation into the actions that led to the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol by a pro-Trump mob.

The extent of the investigation has come into focus in recent days, even though it has often been overshadowed by the government’s legal clash with Mr. Trump and his lawyers over a separate inquiry into the handling of presidential records, including highly classified materials, the former president kept at his residence in Florida, Mar-a-Lago.

Federal agents with court-authorized search warrants took phones last week from at least two people: Boris Epshteyn, an in-house counsel who helps coordinate Mr. Trump’s legal efforts, and Mike Roman, a campaign strategist who was the director of Election Day operations for the Trump campaign in 2020, people familiar with the investigation said.

Mr. Epshteyn and Mr. Roman have been linked to a critical element of Mr. Trump’s bid to hold onto power: the effort to name slates of electors pledged to Mr. Trump from swing states won by Joseph R. Biden Jr. in 2020 as part of a plan to block or delay congressional certification of Mr. Biden’s Electoral College victory.

Tells me they aint got nothing as usual.
Keep huntin boys you'll get hem'

Investigation? It’s a purge of political opposition, AKA Night of the Long Knives, using their own version of the burning of the Reichstag as an excuse. The parallels of Biden’s administration and the rise of Nazism are astounding to anyone who’s a student of history.

Let me guess, if Emperor Diaper Don Narcissus said the moon was made of green cheese, you would defend that to your dying day.

Eerily the same things are happening again. These relentless "broadening of investigations" like the Op's post is what happened in the early 30's in Germany. It needs to stop and the govt. needs to govern.

Sadly, the Trumpists had their heads buried in the, ahem, sand for six years.

Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler assures everybody that this is the one.

And we all know that they would never lie about anything.

... Lads - there are FBI whistleblowers all over the place. ...
The FBI/DOJ is afraid of what's being said.
That's why they're on-to people.

Trump can’t start a war or drop a bomb or call someone a shithole to distract from reality this time.

GOP candidates are jumping ship. Even softening their stance on abortion.

Trying to save their phony baloney jobs. Harumph, Harumph.
