House Intelligence Committee issues three subpoenas related to the ‘unmasking’ scandal

 According to this story the House Intelligence Committee has issued seven subpoenas related to the Russia scandal and three of them are also related to the “unmasking “scandal. Here is more:

The House Intelligence Committee issued seven subpoenas on Wednesday, in a sign that its investigation into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election is ramping up in scope and intensity, according to people familiar with the matter.

The Republican-led committee issued four subpoenas related to the Russia investigation. Three subpoenas are related to questions about how and why the names of associates of President Donald Trump were unredacted and distributed within classified reports by Obama administration officials during the transition between administrations.

The committee has subpoenaed the National Security Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Central Intelligence Agency for information about what is called “unmasking.” Republicans on the committee have been pushing for a thorough investigation of how the names of Trump campaign officials became exposed in classified intelligence reports based off intelligence community intercepts.

  While the mainstream media will focus on the four subpoenas related to the Russia scandal and ignore the three subpoenas related to the Obama era “unmasking scandal” this is good news; as long as there is going to be an investigation it must be a complete investigation. And if the investigation is complete it may lead us down a road the Democrats are uncomfortable with as well.
