MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Special counsel Jack Smith has subpoenaed officials in Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona and Pennsylvania, asking for communications with or involving former President Donald Trump, his campaign aides and a list of allies involved in his efforts to try to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

The requests, issued to Milwaukee and Dane counties in Wisconsin; Wayne County, Michigan; Maricopa County, Arizona; and Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, are the first known subpoenas by Smith, who was named special counsel last month by Attorney General Merrick Garland.

The subpoenas, first reported by The Washington Post, are the clearest indication yet that Smith’s work will include an examination of the fake electors that were part of Trump’s efforts to subvert the election count and certification.

Waste of time and tax payer money.

Christenson said he hoped the documents would help with the investigation, but he didn’t expect to turn over anything that hasn’t already been made public.

“I don’t expect to find any smoking gun,” Christenson said.

But Dems to this day say that Trump did NOT win in 2016 and saying that is apparently just fine...the reason why the left NEVER wanted the 2020 election investigated is because they know they cheated otherwise whats the problem

his efforts to try to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

The results actually were overthrown, but it was done in the back rooms after the observers were kicked out and the suitcases full of ballots were pulled out from under the tables.

Instead of investigating whether the election was legitimate they investigate those who dare suggest it was not.

Correct. Deep State special persecutors assigned to anyone who opposes them. That is ONLY Donald Trump (so far) among those who are running for Pres. on the GOP side.

Yet, they keep doubling down on 2020 and calling anyone of us with questions about that election election deniers. Even some on our side are saying that Republicans that lost this year cause they focused on 2020. Ridiculous. Blake Masters here in AZ didn’t. Idiot voters bought the moderate shtick of Mark Kelly. Yes, Kari Lake talked about election integrity quite often, but she also brought up crime, inflation even homelessness. The only time Democrats ever bring up homelessness is to blame Republicans. Oz didn’t talk about 2020 a ton, yet he lost to that buffoon Fetterman.
