"SNIP.....
The House Select Committee investigating the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday hit back at Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) after he issued a threat against telecom companies that comply with the committee's subpoenas.
The drama began after the commitee announced the intent to subpoena telecommunications companies for, among other things, the call metadata from some Republican members of Congress who were close to the pro-Trump rioters.
McCarthy responded with a threat, saying any effort to comply with such subpoenas is a "violation of federal law" without going into any specifics and warning that "a Republican majority will not forget."
......
The committee, however, promptly hit back, warning that these threats will not obstruct their business and heavily implying that they considered McCarthy's actions to be potential obstruction of justice.

Trump Administration Secretly Seized Phone Records of Times Reporters
The Justice Department said on Wednesday that law enforcement officials had seized the phone records of four New York Times reporters, from Jan. 14, 2017, to April 30, 2017.Credit...Jeenah Moon for The New York Times
WASHINGTON The Trump Justice Department secretly seized the phone records of four New York Times reporters spanning nearly four months in 2017 as part of a leak investigation, the Biden administration disclosed on Wednesday.
It was the latest in a series of revelations about the Trump administration secretly obtaining reporters communications records in an effort to uncover their sources. Last month, the Biden Justice Department disclosed Trump-era seizures of the phone logs of reporters who work for The Washington Post and the phone and email logs for a CNN reporter.
