Kevin McCarthy just presented another reason voters should elect Democrats in 2022, 2024, and beyond.
The House Quisling-Trump Zone Leader who has enabled the fringe rantings of loathsome figures like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Mo Brooks, Paul Gosar, Andy Biggs, Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz, and Donald Trump, has potentially committed obstruction of justice and Congress by threatening communication companies (including Google, Facebook, Twitter, Verizon, Sprint, AT & T, and T Mobile) who comply with the requests of the January 6, 2021 committee to save the phone records of 11 Republican Representatives (including the ones mentioned above) and the Trump Family.
According to reporting by the Washington Post, Mr. McCarthy told these firms that:
“If these companies comply with the Democrat order to turn over private information, they are in violation of federal law and subject to losing their ability to operate in the United States. If companies still choose to violate federal law, a Republican majority will not forget and will stand with Americans to hold them fully accountable under the law.”
Never mind that McCarthy is conveniently forgetting there are Republicans on the January 6 Committee.
Apparently, as the Post reports, there would be no federal law violation if the communication companies turn over the requested phone records to the January 6 committee.
One CNN legal commentator, Elie Honig, a former United States Assistant Attorney in New York, said McCarthy "is making this up" and "talking smack."
McCarthy's office has turned down repeated requests to explain the Quisling Leaders-Trump Zone enabler's assertion.
If the House Quisling Leader really thought no harm would come from the submittal of the phone records belonging to the 11 members of his caucus who have been accused of conspiring to organize the events that led to the Domestic Terrorist Trumpist Attack on the Nations Capitol, then he would not resort to such obstructionist, bullying, coercive, and potentially traitorous tactics.
Members of the former Party of Lincoln have accelerated their war against Democracy, law and order, science and reality, public safety, helping people, and personal choice over the last nine months.
This latest action by Quisling Leader-Trump Zone enabler McCarthy further demonstrates how perilous the situation will be for the American People and Nation if his party is successful in the 2022 Midterms.
Do not let the traitorous fringe in the former Party of Lincoln gain power again when the next elections occur.
Vote them out in the statehouse and the People's House.
