Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is "threatening" telecom companies, if they provide call/email records to the committees in response to legal requests then the Republicans will be very unhappy that these companies complied with federal requests, voluntarily or under threat of penalty, and that will be bad for them.
Remember when the Republican party didn't openly talk about how much they hate it when people and/or companies follow the law?
That was Kevin McCarthy, who declined to cite which law these companies would be in violation of.If these companies comply with the Democrat order to turn over private information, they are in violation of federal law and subject to losing their ability to operate in the United States
Following the law is now breaking it. Doublethink is doubleplus good.

I LOVE gangsterism threats like this!
First if there is innocence, why do they care. Must be afraid to see their phone calls.
But the best of all to openly threaten companies now when helping out on an investigation. If this is not a Fascist Party move, I don't know what is. It's amazing how they don't even hide their fascism.
Democrats are the best! I will never ever question a Democrat again. I LOVE the Democrats!
The companies should preserve records, but not divulge them prior to an actual subpoena. The users of their message services are entitled to privacy lacking a validly issued subpoena, from court or Congress. And any provisions in the request which are overbroad should be subject to challenges of the subpoena.”If you are not able or willing to respond to this request without alerting the subscribers or the accounts, please contact the Select Committee prior to proceeding,” the committee wrote in several of the letters.
McCarthy's sound bites aren't made any better by this consideration, if anybody was wondering.
"I wish it need not have happened in my time." "So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
The results of any findings aren't going to change minds.
These are people who looked past everything else, and still voted for those shitbags. Trying to play the morality card against people with no morals and principles... doesn't get you very far.
This is the thing most people fail to understand about all those phone records, or even the communications on Twitter or Facebook. Those belong to the companies, they own them. Yes, this includes PMs and metadata. All those threats to attack companies for how they handle their data, is absurd. Now, I have no doubt that those companies will want a subpoena, just to cover their asses in the case that someone wants to bitch that they are violating their own terms of service.

I wonder when he'll come to the realization that threatening companies who make campaign contributions to your party's campaigns is not a smart plan? A real smooth brain move there.

In other news, Proud Boys leader "Tiny Toese" literally shoots himself in the foot not long after getting out of prison.

In further irony, he apparently literally shot off some of his toes.
Proud Boys are also trying to storm some schools in WA in protest of masks.

Man these chuckleheads are a fucking clown show. Can we declare these guys domestic terrorists already? If trying to storm onto school grounds carrying guns isn't terrorism, I don't know what is.

It seems it's unclear who fired the shots in the shooting, though it sure does seem like the Proud Boys once again were itching for a fight and instigated a confrontation/chase with "antifa" (whether they were or not I don't know, but considering PB's think everyone is antifa oh well).
The latter though...how fuckin pathetic of a grown ass adult do you have to be to go and menace fuckin public schools while they're in session. Jesus fuck these people are truly pathetic, and truly psychologically stunted and stuck in a middleschool mindset.
True enough, it's not confirmed who shot Tiny in the foot. But in a way it was by his own design anyway. They were trying to chase down and start a fight with people they deemed to be Antifa. Zero sympathy that his foot is forever crippled. Doesn't look like he'll be chasing antifa any more.

Well, another day, another excuse by the QAnon Shaman on why he did what he did. This time though, might be the oddest yet.
