Seven subpoenas issued in House Russia probe: report

The House Intelligence Committee on Wednesday issued seven subpoenas in its investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, including three related to allegations of improper “unmasking” of Trump campaign officials, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Those three subpoenas went to the CIA, FBI and National Security Agency and are related to questions — primarily from Republicans — about how the names of associates of President Trump were un-redacted and distributed in classified Obama administration reports during the transition period.

The remaining four subpoenas were related to the Russia meddling itself.

The committee said in a statement that it had issued subpoenas to former national security adviser Michael Flynn and one company associated with the former intelligence official, Flynn Intel Group LLC; and longtime Trump lawyer Michael Cohen and his firm, Michael D. Cohen & Associates PC.


The statement did not address the three subpoenas related to unmasking, reported related to requests made by former national security adviser Susan Rice, former CIA Director John Brennan and former United Nations Ambassador Susan Power.

Dnc hack was inside job. Clinton needs to be investigated for what was uncovered in the hack.

Unmasking isn't about DNC hacks that's a different situation altogether 612.

Then why does the article say subpoenas were issued in reference to possible Russian interference in 2016 election? Guess I'm confused.

No worries, 1049.

You have to read the entire article, but if you look at the last paragraph before the more here, you'll see this is also concerning the unmasking which is the bit showing the intelligence agencies and apparently the UN were involved in illegal surveillance and unmasking of private citizens without a proper warrant or just cause. This is where the fourth amendment violation comes in and also where people will go to prison for a laundry list of charges a mile long.

1049 if you have a subscription to WSJ it is a better article which delivers this more evenly. The Hill is a left-leaning publication prone to doctoring the facts so this article isn't the best but when you don't have a subscription to the former, you can't view it even online.
