Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
The U.S. attorney’s office has ordered theto turn over all internal phone number directories since the start of March, according to new federal grand jury subpoenas served to the city attorney’s office.
“This is significant because we appear to be entertaining a massive corruption investigation that is currently underway by the grand jury, at the instruction of the Department of Justice,” professor Greg Woods, with the Department of Justice Studies at San Jose State University, toldThe subpoenas weren’t ordered necessarily to uncover wrongdoing by OPD but could be to see if any potential victims have filed complaints related to the investigation.
Woods said the call records could also help establish a timeline and would also grant the FBI access to learn about the nature of the calls, which could go toward determining probable cause. Separately, a July 10 subpoena from the Department of Justice seeks information on “all sources of federal funding the City has received” from the beginning of 2021.
