Fox News reporting as many as 30 subpoenas are expected to be issued to high-level officials in connection with the ongoing investigation into the origins of the so-called Russia collusion hoax.

The New York Times reporting earlier this week, former Director of National Intelligence under President Obama, James Clapper,

One of those subpoenaed.

MSNBC reporting, quote, the subpoenas request documents, including emails and texts related to the intelligence community assessment about Russian interference in the 2016 election.

The relevant dates are between July 1st, 2016 and February 28th, 2017.

That timeframe including the last six months of the Obama administration into the early months of Trump 1.0, covering the period of time in which outgoing President Obama reportedly ordered the intelligence community to compose a new Intelligence Community Assessment, or ICA, on Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe making documents public over the summer showing that ICA did not adhere to intelligence community standards in its determination that Russia, quote, aspired to help Mr. Trump's chances of victory.

For example, a declassified House Intel Committee report found that CIA Director Brennan, under Obama, overruled two senior CIA officers who objected to any reference to the now discredited, Clinton-funded Steele dossier in the ICA.

When confronted about the Steele dossier's many flaws, Brennan said, yes, but doesn't it ring true, according to the report?

The New York Post reporting, quote, the people targeted by the subpoenas are seen as part of the conspiracy that peddled claims President Trump's campaign colluded with the Russian government ahead of the 2016 election.

We spoke with lawyer and founder of the Article 3 Project, Mike Davis, on the significance of these subpoenas and what could be coming next.

Davis, a good friend of U.S.

Attorney Jason Redding Quinones for the Southern District of Florida, who is overseeing the probe, on what the reported scope of the subpoenas indicates about the investigation.

As far as the possible crimes the targets of the investigation may have committed, Davis pointing to 18 U.S.C.

Section 241, Conspiracy Against Rights.

Davis explaining here why he believes Quinones has room to maneuver.

Critics of these subpoenas say Russiagate has already been investigated twice, once by special counsel John Durham and

And once by DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz, no high-ranking officials charged in the aftermath of either probe.

We asked Davis about that.

Time will tell.
