The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee voted on Thursday to grant Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) broad subpoena authority as part of a probe stemming from the Obama administration.
In a party-line vote, Republicans on the panel gave Johnson the power to issue subpoenas for more than 35 individuals and a swath of documents, which will allow him to skip having to come back to the committee for a vote on each individual subpoena.
Johnson is conducting a wide-ranging investigation that includes reviewing "Crossfire Hurricane," the name for the FBI's investigation into election interference and the Trump campaign, the probe of former national security adviser Michael Flynn and leaks stemming from the early days of the Trump administration.
Johnson defended the investigation on Thursday, saying that "evidence is mounting" that there was not a "peaceful and cooperative" transition between the Obama and Trump administrations.
"The conduct we know that occurred during the transition should concern everyone and absolutely warrants further investigation. .. The subpoena authority I am requesting today will help us gather the necessary information. Hopefully, the agencies and individuals will fully cooperate, and the number of subpoenas required will be limited," he added.
The subpoena authorization vote allows Johnson to subpoena former FBI Director James Comey, former national security advisor Susan Rice and former CIA Director John Brennan, among others.

I love it!
And Senator Johnson!
BUMP. Just like linda’s kabuki theater yesterday. All for show.
“saying that “evidence is mounting” that there was not a “peaceful and cooperative” transition between the Obama and Trump administrations.
Great.
I tuned in late today for Grahams meeting...
What happen to the people that I thought were going to testify...
Sounds good. But i won’t hold my breath for this Senate to do a damn thing.
Nobody was going to testify today. They were going to have a vote on subpoenas and Linda chickened out.
Who the Eff cares?
Move on to something that actually matters anymore....
“And Senator Johnson!”
According to OpenSecets.org Johnson has received cash from Soros. So did Gramnesty.
I’m not getting my hopes up yet.
In before Lucy and Charlie Brown....
Not really. They just toss up softballs and avoid the tough questions anyway, as seen with Rosenstein yesterday.
They had three years for false flag narrative on the Russia crap and a giant fishing expedition which was completely illegal
and all of their minions getting on TV every single day for those three years saying this presidxbt had committed treason and all that crap
this is payback. And furthermore it’s completely necessary because this what they did can never be allowed to happen again it must be completely exposed in route it out or these evil nasty vindictive lying Democrats will try the same crap again they already did it again with Ukraine which is a complete absolutely nothing burger and if they had control over both houses our president would have been impeached And convicted
At this point the gloves are off Democrats have shared themselves to be a completely complicit anti-American and all utterly evil party that has absolutely no principles and will burn Lou destroy and kill to get their way they must be utterly demolished
Can’t answer your question. Did not waste my time with linda’s Kabuki theater with self-important, blathering senators.
Rosenstein did appear. Don’t know of any others.
See Ben Sasse’s remarks here:

Worth it click.
“ Does it really matter?”
It doesn’t. I’m beyond done with hand wringing and platitudes. These garbage need to be Einsatzgruppened, period.
I don’t want “cute” memes, I want bodies.
I don’t want bullshit hearings. I want bodies.
I don’t want more f’n laws. I want bodies.
Are you listening, Mr. President? You’re picking a REALLY bad time to do nothing.
He’s been pretty vocal. I’ll take a chance.
Dang...can you please post the list of ALL Senators who’ve received $oros cash? Especially the Rs.
