Nadler subpoenas DOJ whistleblowers for testimony on 'unprecedented politicization' under Barr, Trump
Fox News ^ | June 16 2020 | Brooke Singman

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler issued subpoenas for testimony from two Justice Department whistleblowers who have filed complaints about the “unprecedented politicization” of the department under Attorney General Bill Barr and President Trump.

Nadler, D-N.Y., issued the subpoenas Tuesday for current DOJ employees Aaron S.J. Zelinsky and John W. Elias, who he said would describe their experience at the Justice Department during a hearing before the committee on June 24.

Zelinksy, according to Nadler, is expected to speak on the Justice Department’s handling of the sentencing of Trump aide Roger Stone, while Elias “can speak to improperly motivated activity by the Antitrust Division.”

issued subpoenas for testimony from two Justice Department whistleblowers ... current DOJ employees Aaron S.J. Zelinsky and John W. Elias …

No anonymity here. After all, the whistleblower law never guarantees anonymity, so who on Earth would ever make a big deal about identifying whistleblowers??

We’re allowed to know their names? Hmmm. That’s very odd. I’m quite certain that Schiff told us we weren’t ever supposed to know the names of whistleblowers.

John W. Elias?

Any relationship to Mark Elias of Dem National Committee law firm from Seattle, Perkins Coie.

The hood who went after and set up Roger Stone, that Zelinsky guy.
Not exactly the most objective people who are coup loving participants.

Interesting little item I found when I did a search on these two names ...

The recipient of the James R. Douglass Award for contributions to the work-life environment of the Justice Department’s LGBT employees was given to John Elias, a former president of DOJ Pride.

It’s becoming more obvious to me by the day that the Washington swamp is filled with leftist homosexual freaks.

This is as in yo’ face as it gets. Zelinksy is/was one of Mueller’s goons. The Dems have absolutely no fear the “Trump” DOJ will expose their prosectuorial misconduct.

Yeah, I’m surprised Nadler is giving the House GOP access to one of Mueller’s thugs. Presumably, the “Barr” DOJ has not shared the prosecutorial misconduct goods with the House GOP.

The Bull Durham investigation is completely silent on its efforts.
No one in Congress knows anything.

It’s a locked up tight professional operation. Something is going to pop, soon.

Oh I just bet they were fine with the very real politicization under Obama’s AG.

Graham started some hearings and Sasse decided to accuse Trump of using the bible as a prop.(what a team player)

My question for Sasse is:

When President Trump was being sworn in as the 45th President of the United States. Was the bible a prop?

The bible is for anybody that wants to use it, including Trump.

Anything these two have to say will blow back on them and the Dims. They will sound like whiney “You are supposed to do it my way” babies. Just like that fat whiney Colonel whatz-his-name with the twin brother.

Barr was talking about subpoenas for Clapper, Brennan, et al - and a few days later we had mayhem from coast to coast. Mere coincidence? I'm inclined to think not.

CM, where did AG Barr discuss subpoenas? Sen. Graham’s office has been putting dozens of subpoenas together for months.
