A Republican-controlled committee voted to grant itself expansive subpoena power to seek documents from Obama-era officials related to the Russia investigation launched in 2016

WASHINGTON—A Republican-controlled Senate committee voted to grant itself expansive subpoena power to seek documents from federal agencies and dozens of Obama-era officials related to the Russia investigation launched in 2016, rejecting Democratic complaints that the effort was a political errand for President Trump.

The subpoena authority will allow the Senate Homeland Security Committee to open up wide lanes for Republicans to pursue additional investigations into the FBI’s handling of its Crossfire Hurricane probe into...

Uh....no prob here. What do you think the d’s have been doing all this time?

NO MATTER WHAT DIRTY COP MUELLER KNEW IT WAS A FAKE INVESTIGATION.

TrumpRegime PoliceState WhitePeril

That's why the Republican party needs to cease to exist. They don't care about Americans. Now they care about Putin.

Jesus! Is there no end to GOP corruption and lawlessness?

If there is nothing to hide—then why is this a bad thing?

They should ignore this.

About two years too late.

No, people don’t have to comply with subpoenas. Remember, last year NOBODY came to testify. The precedent has been set. Thanks trump administration

And yet GOP doesn’t obey supeonas when they receive them. You set the precedent, so now you get to live with it! HA HA HA HA HA

Win

Shouldn't be a problem. Unless they have something to hide.

They better hurry up! They have but just 5 months before they are voted out!

ROFLMO - wonder if their Subpoena recipients will IGNORE them, as well 😁

This is our GOP today. Nothing better to do during a pandemic and riots than to investigate an administration no longer in office and ignoring the misdeeds and corruption of one that is. VOTE!!!

The hypocrisy is dripping.Where were you on the Democratic led bs

Vote every republican out of office! We can investigate their crimes of complicity!

Obama did this, no one else. He needs to be exposed along with his sealed past. Who is Barry Sorrento?

About time that we prosecute the Obama/ Biden coupe d'etat.

What is the purpose of this beyond self preservation! How can you sit in that room and search for propaganda when there are thousands of hurting Americans right outside ? Shame on you!

I hope in following the trump administration’s example, all subpoenas will be ignored!

Why do I get nervous now whenever I read... '...Republican [anything] voted to grant itself [anything]...'

Just like RepAdamSchiff did

Sweet!

This is another example of Republicans taking their eyes off the ball. What about the virus & fighting against racial injustice & inequality?

Good, maybe they will get to the bottom of this BULLSH*T. Because we all know how honest and forthcoming Democrats are.

SenateGOP HouseGOP make sure you get the unredacted mueller report that has Russian collusion info. Who cares about Obama info. He wasn’t elected by Russian influence SpeakerPelosi CIA StateDept maybe look into Guiliani relationship with Ukraine to sway election

Good. Expose Obama for the lying POS he was

You mean like the Democrat- controlled House did regarding Trump? OK...

.so Mueller finds Trump guilty for collusion basically now the GOP want to criticise Obama for correctly having concerns What Trump did was illegal as he will find out soon enough.

Be careful what you wish for.

What a joke! I watched the hearings. GOP either dumb or attempting to intentionally distract from reality DJT extensive contacts w/Russians, who hacked US at his request. Dumbasses. Only hoax has been Birtherism. In the meantime, Putin is winning. Lev Parnas so easily got 2 DJT

good thing we now know you can just ignore a subpoena and they have no real power.

The corrupt republican trump administration has set the precedent: 'ignore lawful subpoenas' - so full speed ahead republicans.

Atlas526 I want to see the documents damn it... So RIGHT ON... finally... Declassify... We the People deserve the truth... Stop hiding shit from us

Should we tell the 110,032 dead Americans the news. Trump ignored scientific data warning him about the seriousness of coronavirus and instead called it a Democrat hoax. Had Trump responded appropriately many of these Americans would still be here with us.

And how is this any different than what the house did in their investigation? Let’s be honest....and at least try and be fair. You’re better than this WSJ.

Thank God! Finally! Completely appropriate , as a Democraticaly controlled house used partisan politics to claim impeachable offenses in defense of the Mueller report. We need to get to the bottom of who was pulling the strings.

trumpTRASH REMOVEbunkerBITCHtrumpNOW !!!

Good news

Are democrats gonna do what the republicans did and just completly ignore them?

Republicans should investigate themselves since they also conducted Trump/Russia investigations.

Finally

They are optional

They should just ignore them because apparently you can do that now

They should all just say NO. I disagree with that action, but realDonaldTrump clearly set the precedent that congress has ZERO oversight powers refarding the Executive branch. RINO LIAR Right senrobportman & RepBalderson

A little Schiff of their own medicine

The Dems had their turn with Mueller. Seems only fair.

Trump can invite Russia as guest to G7 summit, but not as a permanent memberJosep Borrell, the European Union's foreign policy chief, told reporters Tuesday that President Donald Trump does not have the power to facilitate Russia rejoining the G7 as a permanent member.
