The Justice Department's accelerating Jan. 6 investigation has expanded far beyond its original focus on the Capitol breach to target those who questioned the 2020 presidential election, focusing on former President Donald Trump and his associates — just two months before Election Day as President Biden spearheads a political offensive vilifying opposition party leaders and voters alike as threats to democracy.
Over the past week, the department has subpoenaed several Trump associates as part of an ongoing probe that critics describe as an intimidation campaign meant to instill fear in Trump supporters.
According to the New York Times, about 40 subpoenas have been issued seeking information about the 2020 election and Capitol riot. Among those subpoenaed were top Trump advisers Boris Epshteyn and Mike Roman, who reportedly had their phones seized as evidence.
Many other Trump aides and confidantes close to the 45th president both in and out of the White House were also subpoenaed, including Dan Scavino, his former social media director.
Stephen Miller and Brian Jack, two top White House advisers under Trump, have also been subpoenaed, as has Trump adviser William Russell.
Others to be served by federal prosecutors reportedly included the Trump 2020 campaign's chief financial officer Sean Dollman and first daughter Ivanka Trump's chief of staff Julie Radford, among several others.
Many of the subpoenas seek information about plans to block or delay Congress's certification of Biden's victory in the 2020 election by submitting slates of electors pledged to Trump from swing states that Biden won.
Other subpoenas relate to a new interest of the government's investigation: Trump's fundraising efforts between the 2020 election and the Jan. 6 Capitol breach.

Sounds like the evidence is overwhelming, and the FBI is waking up to the fact that the evidence is against THEM.. They should have gotten into the machines and found out who was making fraudlent ballots to swing the election. Obviously Trump won, and they are trying to cover up their ineptitude.
They operate like part criminal enterprise and part cult.. specifically mass brain washing.Unlike most cultd they have access to billions of dollars to accomplish their task.
This abuse of power is sickening. I’m not surprised though. Give democrats the reins of power over government office and first thing they do is abuse the powers and responsibilities of their office to harass and persecute their political enemies.
(Remember how Caspar Weinberger was indicted over the iran/contra affair in June 1992, only months before the November 92 elections)
This is a feckless act of desperation on their part as was Bidet’s speech. All of these actions lead to nowhere.
FIB just wants to be sure it knows which BIG STEAL evidence it still needs to cover up.
The DOJ needs to be drained and the FBI shuttered with it responsibilities reassigned to state and local law enforcement when possible. The responsibilities that are truly federal in nature need to be reassigned to other federal agencies. EVERYONE that is employed at the FBI needs to be barred from government employment. Those so-called good FBI employees have been complicit in their silence and inaction for decades.
How is this illegal? Or are they making it up as they go along?
If the latter, one would think they would stop digging. Some of those involved might start shoveling dirt back into the hole on top of their comrades.
The media had better understand this is just the beginning. Thus far, the media has been complicit with the left to push their narratives.
The left if they win in November will eventually, probably in six months or so, begin to quash any minor dissent, criticism or deviation from lies fed to the journalists and tv stations and newspapers.
Anything that reflects differently no matter how minor will lead to an ungloved fist ladning upon the offender.
Truth will be dead. Investigations will lead to threats.
Journalists will be disappeared.
The US has become a neocommunist empire.
Deprivation of Rights under Color of Law comes to mind. Seems to be happening a lot lately.
I fear that the aggrieving parties have decided to ride the tiger.
Exactly the thing they’re not supposed to do.
And btw this stuff about alternate electors is not a crime.
Marxists hanging their election hat on the wrong hook.
The democrats can’t stain Trump he has a 4 year record of knowing what when and how to MAGA they can’t take the pride away from him.
The only thing the democrats and media have is the task of saving their worthless hide.
If any investigation is required it’s Biden and all his corruption he and his family have engaged in.
No president has caused the damage to the country more then Biden has.
Biden’s hysterical effort to criminalize claims of election fraud is proof positive that Biden stole the 2020 election. I hope the first thing Trump does when he returns to office is to order an investigation into the conspiracy to steal the 2020 election with a special prosecutor and all.
This is proof of what the democrats are trying for in terms of demeaning Trump and Republicans just before the November Midterm election. They are nasty!
I don’t think there are any federal agencies that are trustworthy at this point in time
I have to admit, this looks just like what Communist countries did and do to stop their opposition. I never believed that would happen here.
It's always happened, just on a very small sale. Biden is making it all out policy.
