BREAKING: @CNN has exclusively confirmed that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy's name was a par

BREAKING: @CNN has exclusively confirmed that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s name was a part of the list of lawmakers whose communications records the @January6thCmte requested be preserved.w/ @ZcohenCNN, @AnnieGrayerCNN & @WhitneyWReports





Kevin McCarthy among GOP lawmakers whose phone records January 6 select committee asks to be preserved

(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.

Maybe we thought that it had been confirmed somewhere though it's pretty obvious he would be on the list?

We need an anti-Mafia squad to deal with these republicans.

He knew his name was on the list when he threatened the telecom companies.

McCarthy is as corrupt as he is stupid.

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!

On the attacking and threatening telecommunications company, one would think Marginal Trailer Queen is high up on the list. “We gonna shut her down, I promise you that”. Add Fucker Snarlson to the list. He brought up shutting them down.

...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.

We know he was in phone communication with Trump as it was happening begging him to stop it? It establishes the timeline of what Trump knew and when.

My question is, Is he too on Putin’s 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….
