More subpoenas for Trump world figures, including strategists and Jan. 6 speechwriter

The Trump administration official who helped craft the former president’s inflammatory Jan. 6 speech, and a duo of advisers who facilitated the rally at the Ellipse, have been subpoenaed by investigators probing last year’s insurrection at the Capitol.

Select Jan. 6 committee chairman Bennie Thompson announced the subpoenas for Andy Surabian, Arthur Schwartz, and Ross Worthington on Tuesday. Surabian and Schwartz have “relevant information” about who was communicating with former President Donald Trump about the rally, Thompson said, and Worthington could have greater insights into Trump’s thinking since he helped draft the speech that was rife with bogus election fraud claims.

Interviews and evidence already obtained from over 300 cooperating witnesses thus far have led investigators to Surabian, Schwartz, and Worthington.

Correspondence reviewed by the committee prompted Thompson to tell Surabian and Schwartz that the panel believes the men discussed the Jan. 6 rally directly with Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle. Those discussions may have also included rally organizers Katrina Pierson and Caroline Wren, as well as Trump spokesperson Taylor Budowich, and prominent Trump campaign donor and Publix grocery store heiress Julie Fancelli.

“The communications of interest relate to, among other issues, plans for the rally including concerns around proposed speakers like Ali Alexander (also known as Ali Akbar) and Alex Jones, appearance fees for certain people who did speak at the rally, and media coverage after Jan. 6 about the rally,” the notice to Surabian states.

Surabian, a strategist for the GOP, has close professional ties to Trump Jr. as well as ex-Trump adviser Steve Bannon. Bannon is now awaiting trial after being indicted on a contempt of Congress charge late last year.

1. Repub. Attorney General Assoc. & riot robocalls

Publix grocery store heiress Julie Fancelli also paid for RAGA robocalls promoting the insurrection the day before/or day of the fascists storming the Capitol.

The calls were sent by the Rule of Law Defense fund, which shares funding, staff & office space in DC.

In addition to the dark money from heiress Fancelli, other notables in these shenanigans include:

Nebraska AG Doug Peterson

Adam Piper, the Exec Dir at RAGA

Peter Bisbee, Exc Dir. of RAGA's fundraising arm

Chris Carr, Chairman of RAGA & Georgia's Atty Gen

Charles Herbster, some rich GOP asshole from Nebraska, who I think was at the Jan 5. meeting and outed Tuberville.

Brandon Straka, jackass who started the walk away campaign, Nebraska native and was a storm trooper charging the Capitol on Jan. 6

It's my hope that these corrupt GOP Attorney's Generals get their comeuppance
