Overview
- U.S. Attorney Jason Reding Quiñones called a division-wide meeting after two career prosecutors resigned rather than join the investigation, MSNBC reported.
- The Justice Department approved at least 30 subpoenas, with some signed by Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney Manolo Reboso in a move legal experts described as outside standard practice.
- Targets include John Brennan, James Clapper, Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, with the inquiry centered on the January 2017 intelligence community assessment on Russian election interference.
- Subpoenas seek documents and communications dated July 1, 2016 through Feb. 28, 2017 for delivery in Miami by Nov. 20, even though many such records are highly classified and in government custody.
- Reporting notes prior Durham and Horowitz reviews produced no charges against key figures, and describes the investigation’s broad conspiracy theory as unsupported by publicly known evidence.
