Biden's Gestapo: 40 Subpeonaes Issued To Trump Allies In Just One Week, Demanding To Know If They've Ever Endorsed a Political Theory The Regime Deems to be Illegal and Insurrection-y

 


They're literally demanding any correspondence in which people discussed the legal possibility of Congress rejecting states' slates of electors, and sending them back for a recanvass.

Even if you don't believe this theory, it has never before been the case in America that an erroneous legal or political theory was illegal.

Until now. 

Biden's war on Trump heats up with 40 subpoenas issued by the DOJ in one week The Department of Justice has launched two campaigns of legal warfare against the former president. They have seized phones, documents, raided homes, and now have issued some 40 subpoenas in just one week. 

The Biden administration is waging a multi-pronged attack against Donald Trump and his supporters, with the goal of making sure neither he nor anyone who supported him, will be able to run for office. 

The Department of Justice has launched two campaigns of legal warfare against the former president. They have seized phones, documents, raided homes, and now have issued some 40 subpoenas in just one week. 

The Justice Department appears to hope that one of these far-reaching investigations will result in an indictment for Trump, as well as for anyone close enough to be caught by their legal shrapnel. 

The DOJ is seeking to find information that the people who planned that rally also intended to create a riot at the Capitol Building to obstruct the electoral college's certification of Joe Biden as president. 

The DOJ also wants any documents about the rally, or the alternate electors, that were submitted to the congressional January 6 Committee, turned over to them. ... Those subpoenas, obtained by Tucker Carlson Tonight, seek information on "any claim that the Vice President and/or the President of the Senate had the authority to reject or choose not to count presidential electors." 

The subpoenas are not looking for official communications, memos, or directives, but are seeking personal communications. Subpoenas went to Trump's attorneys, as well, and in that they are seeking personal communications, they are looking for communications that are covered under attorney-client privilege. 

Similarly, the Biden Administration is now subpeonaeing records of a conservative political group in Alabama that helped craft a bill to prohibit doctors from performing transgender surgeries on children. 

Deb Heine writes that Biden's Norms-Restoring Department of Justice takes the position that it can presume to "investigate" such normal political activity, demanding all records and communications from a private group engaging in a political effort the Biden Administration opposes. 

The Justice Department last month issued a subpoena to the Eagle Forum of Alabama (EFA), demanding all information related to their legislative activities promoting SB184, also known as the Alabama Vulnerable Child Compassion And Protection Act (VCAP). 

The DOJ's subpoena requested all documents or information pertaining to the legislation since 2017, including all communications, and "any materials considered by the Eagle Forum of Alabama in preparing" the legislation. 

As a 501(c)(4) social welfare advocacy organization, EFA is "legally authorized and expected to fully participate in the legislative processes through education and lobbying efforts," said Margaret S. Clarke, General Counsel of Eagle Forum of Alabama. 

The VCAP law prohibits "the performance of a medical procedure upon or to a minor child that is intended to alter the minor child's sex or delay puberty, with certain exceptions."  

"At stake here is the ability of all private citizen advocates and non-profit advocacy organizations to engage in the legislative process regardless of their viewpoint," Ullman said. 

"If the DOJ can weaponize a subpoena, any American can be unduly burdened and prevented from engaging in our democratic republic form of government, she added. 

"This unprecedented, massive demand by the DOJ for information unrelated to the issues before the court is a blatant attempt to intimidate and silence a non-party organization and crush its Constitutionally-protected rights to educate others, petition the government, and speak freely," said Ullman. 

"This harassment must be stopped. It's a shot across the bow of people and groups engaged in the legislative process throughout the nation. If the Department of Justice doesn't like your viewpoint it may target you next."
