House Dems to subpoena Donald Trump Jr. first in Russia probe

House Democrats probing allegations that the Trump presidential campaign worked with Russian operatives to win the 2016 election plan to issue their first subpoena to Donald Trump Jr., according to a top lawmaker.

Rep. Jackie Speier, a key member of the House Intelligence Committee, asked Tuesday night about who would be served first by the panel as it reopens the investigation, said, “Donald Trump Jr.”

Democrats on the panel, headed by Chairman Adam Schiff, have long questioned a report written by the previous GOP majority on the affair and believe that those who testified in private, including the president’s son, were not forthcoming.

“There are a number of persons that testified before the committee that I feel were not telling the truth,” said Speier, addressing the Women’s National Democratic Club in Washington.

would love to see it happen for real.

That said, they probably need to make sure not to step on Mueller's toes

And just do it.

Issue the subpoenas. Schedule the hearings. I know a lot of groundwork needs to be done. But they need to firm some things up quick.
