It looks like subpoenas are being issued for Pompeo and Giuliani but are expected to include Barr, Pence and Trump himself. They are going to depose them all.
Just reported on MSNBC (Chuck Todds show),
We here already suspected that was going to happen, but it looks like it really is.
And it will happen over the next few weeks, not months.
Edit to Add: If they all go down on this, it will be an insane few months to watch all of it happen.
Can you say President Pelosi?

(586 posts)that's great news!! Asshole Trump thought he could ignore subpoenas for docs & stop witnesses from testifying! But he's finding out, that wasn't a good strategy!

(1,652 posts)He has told his band of mobsters to ignore subpoenas so far and they have, with no consequences. Why would they show up for this?

I don't expect it, but if he does...going to need a higher capacity popcorn maker

(4,612 posts)ignored, openly defied and scoffed at with zero consequences. That same defiance applies to what we thought were all other traditionally accepted norms and laws. It will now be interesting to see if the Ukraine affaire boots this up to a much more serious level where flaunting Congressional subpoenas will not be tolerated.

(32,713 posts)I would expect them each to have depositions scheduled separately. Wouldn't that normally be the case?
