    U.S. House of Representatives served with a Grand Jury subpoena

    There is as yet no information about this subpoena, so I'm not going to put it in any pre-existing thread. If it turns out it's related to any of the other topics already covered here I'll ask that it gets merged. Has this ever happened before? I can't remember ever hearing about such a subpoena.

    EDIT  The original post is below. This was announced lightning fast. Carter was already seated at the Ohio State BOR meeting when this news broke, and he was confirmed by their BOR a few minutes later.         Dang. I think he was really good for DONU. Apparently the Buckeyes...
