Why does William Otis write that Republicans gained four House seats in California? Their numbers went from 11 to 12.

And here’s a retired FBI fella that has some comments about a pretty important crime: https://meaninginhistory.substack.com/p/full-scope-of-the-russia-hoax-coup

There are at least three accounts of all this, all of which feature quotes of Kash Patel. The story was broken by Just The News:

DOJ snooped on House Intelligence Committee investigators during Russia probe, subpoenas show

Officials used grand jury to obtain Google email, phone data for at least two top investigators for panel's Republican chairman, Devin Nunes.

OK, for this to have happened there had to have been a full criminal investigation opened up on Patel and the other lawyer. Cooperation between the FBI and DoJ would have had to have occurred. The investigating agency (FBI) would need to put in writing the basis for a criminal investigation. The FBI would then go to DoJ (or the local USA office) to obtain subpoenas. A DoJ lawyer would confirm that there was indeed a basis for launching a criminal investigation and would present the matter to the grand jury, which would authorize issuance of subpoenas. In these circumstances—the subjects being staff for HPSCI—there is no possible way that Wray and Rosenstein did not approve this.

The documents authorizing all this exist—or, if they no longer exist, a crime has occurred (destruction of government property). Documents regarding the final disposition of this investigation also exist—a reason should be given for closing the investigation, if that’s what happened.
