Yikes: McCarthy & Taylor-Greene warn telecom companies not to turn over Jan 6 phone records

[Lastamender]

Interesting. I wonder why they would be worried about such a thing. It was just a tour that got a little rowdy!

Any guesses?

Kevin McCarthy, Marjorie Taylor Greene Threaten Telecoms Not To Give Data to 1/6 Committee

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) have warned telecommunications companies against sharing information with the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 Attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) joined House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) in threatening telecommunications companies that comply with a records request from the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 Attack on the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday. Greene is pictured after a press conference outside the Capitol in Washington, D.C. on August 23, 2021.

McCarthy and Greene on Tuesday both suggested that the companies would face repercussions for complying with the committee's request for data once Republicans are in control of the government. The committee asked 35 telecommunications and social media companies to supply it with the records on Monday.

Some of the requested records pertain to Greene and other Republican members of Congress who were involved in the January 6 "Stop the Steal" rally supporting former President Donald Trump's false claims that he "won" the 2020 election, according to CNN. Shortly after the rally, the Capitol was breached by rioters who claimed that Trump was a victim of election fraud.

I wonder why they think they have that right. This is political and nothing else. How about Pelosi phone records from that day? I say Greene should trade hers for Nancy's

But why bother with the telecoms when you have the NSA and know they've already got the info all sorted and collated for ya? What good is the NSA anyway?

The power of Congressional subpoena does not carry the weight of a court ordered warrant. That is the key issue at hand here. How are liberals going to feel about this when Republicans take the House and try to use the same tactics on Antifa/BLM insurrectionists? If the left could put their petty partisanship aside for a moment, they might see the real threat to their Constitutional rights and the severe overstepping of House Democrats.

So it's illegal and unconstitutional and fascist for Congress to subpoena phone records from private companies?

They do not have the legal authority to do so. unless they can provide the details of the crime they expect has occurred and by a certain individual. That's the way subpoenas work.

I doubt that would be a problem

Then if they can't get a subpoena, nothing will happen.

No fascism involved.

Really? I bet it would be. She is partly responsible for the false flag that took place.

The Nazis don't have the power to supersede the US Constitution.

First the Nazi Republicans attack our beloved Capitol like it was the Reichstag.
Now they harass those who would testify against them

So it's illegal and unconstitutional and fascist for Congress to subpoena phone records from private companies?

They haven't even done that.

All the committee has done is asked the companies to preserve phone records.

Yet these republicans are having fits.

What are they so afraid of?

Jan. 6 committee asks companies to preserve phone records from GOP lawmakers, Trump aides

House lawmakers are expanding their investigation into the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, seeking phone records from GOP lawmakers and Trump aides.

Thank you for the QAnon take...as usual

 

[Mac-7]

Wow I can't believe you are so uninformed but you only pay attention far right wing propaganda so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Do you mean this?

democrats spying on trump phone records?

Democrats obtained phone records showing how Trump allies coordinated 'false narratives' | CNN Politics

Armed with never-before-seen phone records, Democrats on Tuesday accused President Donald Trump's allies of coordinating with a conservative journalist to peddle "false narratives" about Trump's opponents as part of his multi-pronged pressure campaign on Ukraine.

The FBI did the instigating. It was planned. Pelosi knew exactly what would happen. Including Babbitt's murder.

Thank you Q

Of course it's illegal. To obtain personal records one needs a warrant from a court to proceed, not that it's anything Nazis worry about. But if they get away with this, what goes around comes around, just like when Republicans take control of the House in 2022, Biden will be impeached, perhaps twice.

So when the Republicans do take charge, demand all the phone and text records of every Communist in Congress during the first Trump impeachment.

That isnt what they are saying though and I suspect that you are wrong. The perps are threatening the phone companies with repercussions after they regain power. That is mob justice.

Following your logic all they have to do is assert their supposed legal right to privacy. Criminals do not have the right to hide evideence.

I think you missed the point. The "Q" reference was a dis - suggesting that you're actually batshit insane.

Feel free to tell us about the massive fraud and massive cover up. Apparently you`re the only one that knows about it.

This boils down to them having details of a specific crime and specific people. Do they have that, or is this another assault on our constitutional rights by our corrupt fed gov?
