Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsClaude Taylor's tweets confirmed by CNN's "exclusive" yesterday.
First, a summary Claude Taylor's relevant tweets by Inquisitr, a news aggregator:

The search warrant served at Strategic Campaign Group may be one of several warrants served out of the Eastern District of Virginia U.S. Attorneys office, according to online reports by Claude Taylor, a former White House staffer under President Bill Clinton who has been citing unnamed sources for his Twitter revelations regarding the Trump Russia investigation for the past few months.
It was Taylor who first published a report about three weeks ago a claim widely dismissed at the time that federal grand juries had been empaneled to investigate the Trump-Russia affair in the Eastern District of Virginia and in New York.
Despite the early ridicule he received for the claims, Taylors reports have now been confirmed. On Tuesday, the same day that Trump fired Comey, CNN and other media outlets reported that the Eastern Virginia grand jury not only existed but had issued subpoenas for associates of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, who was forced to resign in February 18 days after the Trump administration was warned by the Justice Department that Flynn was possibly being blackmailed by Russia.
And then here is CNN's "exclusive" report:

Washington (CNN)Federal prosecutors have issued grand jury subpoenas to associates of former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn seeking business records, as part of the ongoing probe of Russian meddling in last year's election, according to people familiar with the matter. CNN learned of the subpoenas hours before President Donald Trump fired FBI director James Comey.
The subpoenas represent the first sign of a significant escalation of activity in the FBI's broader investigation begun last July into possible ties between Trump campaign associates and Russia.
The subpoenas issued in recent weeks by the US Attorney's Office in Alexandria, Virginia, were received by associates who worked with Flynn on contracts after he was forced out as director of the Defense Intelligence Agency in 2014, according to the people familiar with the investigation.
