I can confirm this is true. I've known about this for about a month, so I'll provide some context.https://twitter.com/dearmayorstoney/status/935294107920076800 …

Federal charges against Fields, Cantwell, and others are likely to come. I won't say what.

The Federal Grand Jury exists for the purpose of indicting people for Federal crimes. The anti-racists who have been subpoenaed have so far been victims of the vehicle attack.

So right now, it looks like the GJ is moving to indict Fields. However, at least one alt right blogger has also been subpoenaed.

The problem is that Grand Juries have extreme reach. They can ask you anything, you're under oath, and you have to answer.

So it's possible that these can be used to roll up investigations into leftists... even if not to indict, they can build networks.

I'm not going to go on record advocating grand jury resistance, though I will say resources exist if that's your decision.

So far, it looks like the Federal Grand Jury is primarily targeting Fields, Cantwell, and then Kessler, Spencer, Mosley, et al, in that order.

But, I have heard unconfirmed rumors of investigations or indictments into leftists as well.

So that's the situation here. The FBI is targeting victims of the car attack but is likely to roll that investigation up into more stuff. We'll see how it pans out.

Oh, and one last thing. With lawyer present, I can confirm I have spoken to the FBI regarding the August 11 attacks. This should come as no surprise since I am pressing charges.

I was only asked questions about that night, not asked to name names, and the questioning did not reach beyond me and that night.

(Not that I have anything relevant beyond that scope--my organizing has been extremely transparent)

So there is some hope that this investigation *is* into just the UTR folks. But... these can stay open for 18 months, who knows.

All I know is that since I came in voluntarily, I could have and would have shut down the questioning if the scope strayed. It didn't.

That's not an admission to say that I have sooper sekret infp, either. The feds could make life hell for coworkers, inlaws, college roommates, etc.
