The committee on Wednesday held a business meeting to authorize committee Chairman Ron Johnson, R-Wis., to issue notices for taking depositions, subpoenas, for records, and subpoenas for testimony to individuals relating to the panel’s “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation, the Justice Department inspector general’s review of that investigation, and the “unmasking” of U.S. persons affiliated with the 2016 Trump campaign, transition team and the Trump administration.
The committee voted 8-6 to authorize the subpoenas.

Help President Trump Stop Joe Biden [ACT NOW]
The Obama/Clinton/Biden Globalist Deep State is unraveling. They all should be hung for high treason and crimes against humanity.
It just goes to show you or better proves that most Democrats are liars, corrupt and will tell you anything to get control. We didn’t know much about previous administrations because they were not telling anyone what is going on or transparent and involved in all kinds of scandals, corruption and cover ups. Trump is the first President to tell you what has been going on.

Finally, some sort of movement…. But, this is way too late…. too close to the election, and nothing will really be done until after the election if ever.
I think most of us can see the writing on the wall – more riots and violence, especially if anything is done to these “perceived” criminals.
Choke choke
I guess better late than never, but 4 years later the Senate finally gets around to calling these co-conspirators in??? My Lord. By now what happened is obvious for all who have ears to hear or eyes to see. I wonder if the first testimony will occur before the Nov. 3 election and will anyone ever be held to account? What the hell has Bull Durham been doing?
The Obama administration scandal free? 😂😂😂😂
The lame and lazy GOP Senate led by the likes of Graham, Burr and Grassley has let conservatives down again. The GOP doesn’t know how to wield power.
Should have been done IMMEDIATELY after Barr’s report of the 17 incidence of FBI screwups and release of all FOUR FISA warrants!!
Don’t hold your breath. I have no confidence in the Republicans either. This is all window dressing. Proof? Look at their voting record. McConnell is at …..
They have changed the scoring. He was at 25%. Now he is at 69%. I smell a rat.
hmmmm
All these sorry people who claim to be Americans but are truly just demorats trying to control the country should be locked up at Getmo so they can enjoy the rest of their lives as what they truly are CRIMINALS.
They don’t have to go to Gitmo . Obama built and rebuilt Femma Camps aka ” Detention Centers ” . 2 in every State . They can be accomidated there .
Why go through the Motions and then not prosecute when the evidence is there plain enough so anyone can understand that they committed treason with no consequences ?
