CNN is reporting that just hours before the shocking announcement that unpopular President Donald Trump had fired FBI Director James Comey, they learned that federal prosecutors had issued subpoenas to people around Michael Flynn in the search of business records.
Campaign Action
The subpoenas represent the first sign of a significant escalation of activity in the FBI's broader investigation begun last July into possible ties between Trump campaign associates and Russia.
The subpoenas issued in recent weeks by the US Attorney's Office in Alexandria, Virginia, were received by associates who worked with Flynn on contracts after he was forced out as director of the Defense Intelligence Agency in 2014, according to the people familiar with the investigation.
That’s quite a coincidence.
