So glad to hear a legal scholar call bullshit on this minority leader.

And that's saying a lot, given the important reporting on Afghanistan and Hurricane Ida - and that is good news!

Whether physically or electronically, the telecom companies "witnessed" these calls.

McCarthy has promised retribution if they comply with a congressional request for information.

That is as clear a case of witness intimidation that we will ever see, McCarthey should be under arrest

there are no phone transcripts, just meta data. So there's nothing to implicate McCarthy. Only his hostile testimony, which will take months to make happen, if ever.
