When did the FBI get the authority to issue subpoenas?
I must have been sleeping when they changed the Constitution to mention the FBI as a part of the Judiciary.

That's a VERY good point! But we have to consider the source from the FAKE NEWS, THE HILL.
Administrative subpoenas have most commonly been issued by the Offices of the
Inspector General of various federal agencies.[4] The Drug Enforcement
Administration was granted administrative subpoena authority under the
Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970.[2] In 1996
Congress expanded the authority to issue the subpoenas to the Federal
Bureau of Investigation when investigating health care fraud cases
under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. More
recently, Public law 106-544 December 19, 2000 the Department of Justice
has attempted to expand administrative subpoena authority to terrorism
investigations through amendments to the Patriot Act.[4][5]
