James Comey hit with subpoena in probe into bogus 'grand conspiracy' against Trump
Former FBI Director James Comey reportedly received a subpoena from a Florida grand jury investigating a supposed "grand conspiracy" against President Donald Trump.
Two sources familiar with the subpoena confirmed to Axios that the grand jury had called Comey. In all, over 130 subpoenas had been generated in the case, the sources have said.
The Trump administration posits in its "Grand Conspiracy" theory that there was a plot by Democratic officials to prosecute and undermine Trump.
The Southern District of Florida is thought to have more Trump-friendly grand jury members than Washington, D.C.
"The Grand Conspiracy is a conspiracy theory, not a real legal theory," Lawfare noted earlier this year. "The only reason to take it seriously at all is that the administration is, by all accounts, taking it seriously—seriously enough that federal prosecutors have stood up a grand jury, which is now poised to consider the matter, seriously enough that prosecutors have already begun to subject subjects of the probe to all that this process entails."
"The trouble is that while prosecutors may have a narrative, and they may have a venue, and they may even have a legal strategy, the story is still deranged, the venue is dubious, and the legal strategy remains incoherent," the publication added. "The biggest problem of all? The evidence doesn't even exist."
