    1. Chelsea Manning (@xychelsea) tells me that she's been subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia, which she intends to fight. Subpoena doesn't say topic, but it's likely related to the @wikileaks / Assange case. nytimes.com/2019/02/28/us/politics/chelsea-manning-subpoena.html

      Speculation: Trump DOJ is trying to get a grand-jury indictment of Assange to bolster the inadvertently-revealed, still-sealed criminal complaint it generated last summer to provide a basis to detain/extradite him if he emerges from the embassy.
