Link to tweet
(CNN)House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is among a group of GOP lawmakers whose phone records are of interest to the select committee investigating the deadly January 6 riot on Capitol Hill, CNN has learned.
The committee asked a group of telecommunication companies to preserve phone records belonging to McCarthy, along with several other House Republicans, earlier this week.
On Monday, CNN first reported the existence of an evolving list of lawmakers whose phone records the committee wanted preserved. At the time of CNN's reporting, McCarthy's name had not been added to a draft version of the list, but by the time the document was finalized and sent to the telecommunications companies later that same day, it was included.
But since the final list was submitted on Monday afternoon, CNN has received information that McCarthy's name was, in fact, included along with several other lawmakers and hundreds of other individuals.

He knew his name was on the list when he threatened the telecom companies.
McCarthy is as corrupt as he is stupid.

(15,325 posts)Because with a mob lackey like Trump answering to Vladimer Putun, as our pseudo-US-President then there's a long long line down to the groveling grunts at the bottom.
What was that statement McCarthy blabbed to Paul Ryan about "Putin pays..."?
I don't recall the entire phrase right now.
ick!

(32,626 posts)who called who. It's not like there is anything recorded. They just have to lie about why they called.

(3,471 posts)...especially if the records show that members of the Sedition Caucus were in direct contact with the tactical organizers of the assaults as well as the upper-echelon ringleaders like Cheato and his inner circle.

(32,626 posts)thank you. For some reason I was only thinking of the White House in contact with the dweebs, on the day of. Jayzus, that could be quite revealing.

There has to be some reason Trump supported her and is fundraising for her.

(5,450 posts)My question is, Is he too on Putins payroll?
- Seems that so many are taking $ to stay in line-
Graham, Paul, Johnson etc.
- Remember the Washington Post video w/ Paul Ryan from 2017
