The Justice Department is taking action in Florida against the Russian conspiracy theory, following the revelation that former FBI Director James Comey has been subpoenaed. The probe is focusing on the real grand conspiracy from the end of the Obama administration, which involved the creation of a false narrative to undermine the first Trump administration. The evidence, uncovered by House and Senate committees, appears to show a knowing effort to manufacture a Russian conspiracy hoax at the urging of Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign. The Washington Post and New York Times were awarded Pulitzer Prizes for their coverage of this hoax. The Clinton campaign also lied about its funding of the Steele dossier, which was secretly funded by the Clinton campaign. Key FBI officials continued surveillance and investigation targeting the Trump campaign and key figures. One official later pleaded guilty to lying to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court to continue surveillance without an evidentiary basis.
