Grand jury subpoenas were sent to those who organized Trump's #January6th rally near the WH—prosecutors seek multiple records + documents, including texts, emails & potential communications with others regarding the logistics of the event.
DOJ finally is probing alleged CRIMINAL acts by Trump and cronies.
“We have to hold accountable every person who is criminally responsible for trying to overturn a legitimate election…in a way filled with integrity and professionalism."

🔥“This is a sign of a dramatic acceleration of her work,” as prosecutors typically work their way “up the food chain, so usually the first wave of target letters is not the last.” ~@NormOrnstein special counsel to the @HouseJudiciary Committee during the 1st Trump #impeachment.
BREAKING: Wow! The @NobelPrize that Russian journalist Dmitry Muratov auctioned off to raise money for Ukrainian child refugees **sold for $103.5 million** shattering the old record for a Nobel.
Muratov—who won the Nobel in October 2021—helped found the independent Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta and was its editor-in-chief when it shut down in March amid the Putin’s clampdown on journalists and public dissent to Russia’s ILLEGAL invasion of Ukraine.
Muratov already said he was donating his Nobel $500,000 cash award to charity “to give the children refugees a chance for a future.”
Muratov has said the proceeds will
go directly to @UNICEF in its efforts to help children displaced by the war in #Ukraine.

“It is anticipated that…Trump will testify that he & others orchestrated a carefully crafted plot to call into question the integrity of the 2020 presidential election & the validity of Biden’s victory”💥 nytimes.com/2022/02/04/us/…
“Moreover, it will be established at trial that Trump & his conspirators engaged in a concerted effort to deceive the public, including defendant, into believing that American democracy was at stake if Congress was permitted to certify the election results.”
OOOOOH: The #January6th defendant also “wanted to #subpoena not only Trump, but also several of his former aides and advisers, including Rudy Giuliani, Steve Bannon, Stephen Miller and John Eastman”🧐
