Leaks, probably from individuals just starting to receive subpoenas, are now quickly making their way to the media. The goal seems to be to rally as much corporate media support as possible, with a subtle push to initiate an Alinsky process.

The media’s formerly predictable compliance toward generating a needed Alinsky lawfare strategy is, however, made more complicated by the recent purchases of several major corporate media conglomerates by Larry and David Ellison.  A shifted tone, that can be noted, is in the responsive outcome of the leak received by CBS News:

(Via CBS) – Former senior intelligence and FBI officials who are cooperating with the U.S. Justice Department’s criminal probe into whether former CIA Director John Brennan lied to Congress were subpoenaed over the weekend to testify before a grand jury in Washington, D.C., multiple sources familiar with the matter told CBS News.

The subpoenas went out shortly after the Justice Department appointed conservative Trump ally Joe DiGenova to formally take over the criminal investigation into Brennan after the career prosecutor handling the case was removed late last week, CBS previously reported.

DiGenova is a staunch loyalist of President Trump who previously represented his campaign in its failed efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. 

The cooperating witnesses are scheduled to appear before the grand jury as soon as this week, sources said. Many of them have been cooperating with the probe and were already scheduled to sit down for interviews with FBI agents and prosecutors before the new grand jury subpoenas came out over the weekend.

The decision to abruptly reschedule the voluntary interviews from cooperators and ask for in-person grand jury testimony is unusual, legal experts told CBS.  Customarily such interviews are conducted outside of the grand jury, and agents later provide details from them to grand jurors about what the witnesses told them under oath.

The move could be an effort by DiGenova to use every avenue possible, after grand jurors in Washington D.C. have increasingly declined to indict targets in cases that were widely perceived as politically motivated. (read more)

“Joseph E. diGenova has been sworn in as Counselor to the Attorney General at the U.S. Department of Justice, stepping into a senior advisory role on key legal, policy, and enforcement matters. With decades of experience—including serving as U.S. Attorney for D.C. under Ronald Reagan—diGenova brings deep expertise in federal prosecution and high-stakes investigations. Praised by U.S. Attorney Jason A. Reding Quiñones for his leadership and judgment, he will help advance the Department’s mission to protect Americans, enforce the rule of law, and ensure impartial justice.” (SOURCE)
