House Committee Wants Phone Records of McCarthy, Gaetz & Others; McCarthy & Co. Decide to Obstruct
from Justice Matters with Glenn Kirschner
The House Select Committee investigating the insurrection has requested 35 telecommunications companies preserve their records in anticipation of future subpoenas. Kevin McCarthy and Marjorie Taylor Greene not only objected to the companies preserving their records but make threats that squarely constitute obstruction of a congressional proceeding. In an almost comical turn of events, after a dozen Republicans complain vociferously that Congress can't make these preservations requests and that the telecom companies must not comply with these requests, a new letter appears, signed by Gaetz, Gohmert, Greene, Gosar and others, requesting that the telecom companies do exactly what the Republicans allege they can't do - preserve the phone records of Kamala Harris, Pelosi, OAC and others. Folks, you can't make this stuff up. This video discusses how preservation requests ordinarily work and why Congress will get the records they seek.
