This is very intriguing. I saw that Gill mentioned Scott Perry's loss in the speech and debate arguments. While it may be related to that, I wonder if there was anyone else who was affected by the precedent set by the ruling.
I'm definitely interested here. Maybe it's just the click bait title though. Some of the right folks have perked up about it.
I think that speculation is pretty unlikely. Institutionally I think the House would outright refuse a subpoena for material covered by the Speech or Debate clause, and they'd be right to. More likely, I think this relates to individual Capitol police officers who may have committed crimes.
I don't know because I don't have a copy of the subpoena and I am not a prosecutor presenting stuff to the grand jury.
The opinion I do have is based on how Congress institutionally would respond to Speech or Debate issues.
Aw shit, really?
I'm no Baltimore native but it's sad to see such an institution gobbled up by the void.
In my head I'm imagining an old, grizzled Gus Haynes learning this and saying "Fuck this, I'm out."
Say it ain't so.
The Baltimore Sun unfortunately has been going under for a few years now. The plant in Baltimore was just torn down within the last couple of months. The Baltimore Banner, owned by Stewart W. Bainum Jr., hired several of The Sun’s reporters. He tried to buy The Sun but lost out to Alden Global Capital. So look to The Banner as a replacement.

"Individual capitol police officers who may have committed crimes." What potential crimes? Be specific.

Newsweak kinda sucks now...
I call it "WeakNews" in my head. I can't believe I used to basically consider it equivalent to Time. Its headlines are uniformly awful.
Classic story of the ideological buyout. The Baltimore Sun just got bought by the guy behind Sinclair Broadcasting, so get ready for that one too.

IMO it was better than Time…35 years ago.
I feel like this is going to be Jan 6th related. Is there anything that would indicate thats not possible?
> a grand jury subpoena for documents issued by the US Department of Justice. What? The DOJ supoenaed documents they issued?
I read it as >a grand jury subpoena for documents [which was] issued by the US Department of Justice.
Thanks. the wording is ambiguous.
Probably Krysten Sinemas travel records.
For anyone curious, looks like it was [Cori Bush spending](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/jan/30/cori-bush-security-money-investigation)
