An illegitimate special prosecutor

I believe these subpoenas were from the DC case, so this is not a correct statement.

The same body that has oversight responsibilities over the executive. That is an egregious violation of the seperation of powers

That's specifically why you have special prosecutors, to remove the connective tissue between the President and DOJ proper from the investigation.

regardless of the fact some corrupt judge signed off on it

I do not believe grand jury subpoenas require this.

I don't think absolute immunity applies here.

Why would immunity need to apply? You've listed no crimes or anything beginning to form an aspect of a crime.

A grand jury was convened to look into Kevin McCarthy and shitload of other Republican congressmen and senators?

It was not for that. Specifically. It was for the DC case that did result in the indictment of trump and some others.

"Although you have not reached out to us to discuss this matter, we are compelled to correct inaccurate assertions made by you and others concerning the issuance of a grand jury subpoena for the toll records of eight Senators and one Member of the House of Representatives,"


We need to scale back the power of random grand juries to do this sort of thing without any sort of oversight or probable cause. Remember, the grand jury phase is before an indictment is issued and probable cause has even been established for a crime. Sometimes these grand juries don't even result in an indictment, but they do result in lots of information. Subpoenaed.
