They Are Freaking The Fuck Out

The House Select Committee investigating the seditious insurrection and terrorist attack at the US Capitol on January 6 has requested that several telecommunications companies preserve the phone records of a number of individuals whom the Committee knows or believes were involved in organizing and promoting the attack and/or inciting the pro-Trump crowd to commit violent acts (including the possible murder of the Vice President and Speaker of the House).

That list includes Donald Trump, Mike Pence, Rudy Giuliani, Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, Andy Biggs, Paul Gosar, Mo Brooks, Jim Jordan, Madison Cawthorn, Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Louie Gohmert, Jody Hice, Scott Perry, Melania Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Kimberly Guilfoyle, Eric Trump, Lara Trump, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, Kayleigh McEnany, Mark Meadows, Peter Navarro, Stephen Miller, Dan Scavino, Chad Wolf, George Papadopoulos, Alex Jones, Steve Bannon, Mike Lindell, and others.

The list could eventually include "several hundred" people. Rep. Elaine Luria: "We're casting a wide net to make sure that we understand all of the facts about what happened that day."

[Biggs, Gosar, and Brooks helped plan and organize the attack and later begged Trump for pardons. But since the attack was unsuccessful, by that time Trump didn't give a shit about them.] 

The request for the preservation of phone records . . . were part of a larger preservation request to 35 social media and telecommunication companies including Verizon Wireless, AT&T, T-Mobile, US Cellular and Sprint. The committee also made separate preservation requests to search engine and social media companies like Apple, Google, Facebook, Signal, Slack, YouTube, Twitch and Twitter.

The committee is specifically asking companies preserve the records of individuals who could serve as links between those who were involved with organizing or planning the rallies around January 6 and violence committed the day of the insurrection. [The committee has subpoena power, but requesting the information could lead to a lengthy legal battle.] . . .

The committee is also specifically targeting individuals who have been charged by the Department of Justice or the District of Columbia for their affiliation with the attack and those who were attempting "to challenge, delay, or interfere" with the certification of the 2020 presidential election results. . . .

In its request to Verizon for example, the select committee asks that the cell site location information, call data records and content, cloud or storage content and subscriber information be preserved.

Those enemies of America have reacted exactly as you might expect.

They freaked the fuck out and started acting super-fucking-guilty and shouting crazy threats in all directions.
