"I think the item, a subpoena, may not be what it appears. It appears the subpoena itself was served on Event Strategies, the entity which produced January 6, not TPUSA itself. I'm fairly certain that the investigation into the 80 busses TPUSA paid for was investigated earlier, in the first year of the investigation, along with a bunch of other entities that sent busses."
"The most obvious sign of that is that the first page, described as a summary, is dated 1/23/2023. Whereas the other five pages - which appear to match the title of the document, Arctic Frost Bank Record Subpoenas - show subpoena returns with dates long after the date of the summary, going through a subpoena pertaining to Jeffrey Clark and John Eastman to Fidelity completed on July 6, 2023."
"The five pages of subpoenas focus on several topics, largely the following: J6 $ Wire fraud Misappropriation Payments to lawyers Bogus investigations Obstruction Credit reports Most of this traces several prongs of investigation that were publicly reported at the time - largely picking up efforts of the January 6 Committee - showing that Trump raised money in the guise of election integrity, but then paid it to people like Brad Parscale or Dan Scavino."
Multiple documents were released that include informant reports targeting Hunter Biden, previously declassified materials, and items linked to the Jack Smith investigation. One subpoena entry notes information collected affecting Turning Point USA and suggests the subpoena may have been served on Event Strategies rather than TPUSA. The release appears to combine a summary page dated January 23, 2023, with five later Arctic Frost Bank Record Subpoenas showing returns through July 6, 2023, exposing bank details of numerous Trump associates. The subpoenas focus on January 6 fundraising, wire fraud, misappropriation, payments to lawyers, bogus investigations, obstruction, and credit reports.
