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)."No, don't worry, we're fine. What are they going to do, subpoena my phone records?" pic.twitter.com/al3NVxud9V

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.
It's official: The Jan. 6 select committee has asked 35 telecommunications and social media companies to retain material from individuals involved in organizing 'Stop the Steal' rallies or who participated in challenging the election certification process.https://t.co/Cb90nIZLxt

Good news for transparency and accountability: the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 has for the phone records of a group of GOP members of Congress who played some role in the "Stop the Steal" rally to be preserved. https://t.co/L4erOwjSHn

GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy has actually threatened telecom companies NOT to comply with the Jan. 6 Select Committee request for phone records. He even added: “A Republican majority will not forget.” This is more than obstruction. It's extortion, vigilantism, criminal retaliation.

Not only is Kevin McCarthy giving away his guilt by threatening telecom companies over January 6th phone records, he’s also opening himself up to felony obstruction of justice charges, and it’s not going to work anyway. This guy is an idiot in every possible sense of the word.

Kevin McCarthy is more terrified about his phone records than Lauren Boebert, Cawthorn and Jim Jordan combined.

Jim Jordan/Kevin McCarthy: "I've got nothing to hide"

Also Jim Jordan/Kevin McCarthy: "I will use the full power of the federal government to punish you if you turn over my phone records"
Nothing suspicious about that...
MTG can’t “shut down the phone companies” just because they might have something incriminating on her. That’s not how any of this works.

I’m just going to say, as someone involved in the criminal justice system for 27 years as a prosecutor, defense attorney, and police academy director, that this is not how people react when they have nothing to hide. pic.twitter.com/YiGPjefehU

Madison Cawthorn seems awfully worried about his phone records.

This is the problem with no accountability for Jan. 6 - it normalizes extremists like Madison Cawthorn calling for a bloody coup, out loud. https://t.co/tPu0orEEpI

This should be getting more attention:

Republican Madison Cawthorn referred to the jailed Jan. 6th insurrectionists as "political prisoners" and suggested that he wanted to "try and bust them out of jail."https://t.co/amX2OGZmIb

Hi Madison, here's a letter signed by almost 200 of your former alumni and faculty staff saying you're a sexual predator.

Lauren Boebert seems to be unraveling like Madison Cawthorn and Jim Jordan. They must be super worried about their phone records.
