Watchdog Demands Probe Of Kevin McCarthy's Threats Against Firms In Jan. 6 Investigation

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A watchdog group has filed an ethics complaint against House Minority Leader Kevin McCathy (R-Calif.) and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) for threatening companies subpoenaed by the House select committee probing the Capitol insurrection.

The committee is seeking communications records related to the Jan. 6 siege of the Capitol. McCarthy and Greene baselessly warned that companies complying with those legal requests could be shut down.

The committee requested that 35 phone and social media companies preserve the records of an unknown group of people related to the deadly insurrection, as well as those involved in the “Stop the Steal” rally near the White House that precipitated the mob attack.

In response, McCarthy warned the companies that a “Republican majority will not forget,” will hold the companies “fully accountable” if they comply, and could lose “their ability to operate in the United States.” It wasn’t clear what he was referring to.
