House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy speaks at the Capitol on Aug. 31, 2021. | J. Scott Applewhite/AP PhotoMinority Leader Kevin McCarthy on Tuesday threatened to use a future GOP majority to punish companies that comply with the House’s Jan. 6 investigators, warning that “a Republican majority will not forget.”
The select panel investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection took its first step in obtaining phone records on Monday, asking an array of telecommunications companies to save records relevant to the attack — a request that could include records from some lawmakers. More than 30 companies, including Apple, AT&T and Verizon, received a request for records from April 1, 2020, to Jan. 31, 2021.
The Democratic-led committee’s investigators are looking for a fuller picture of the communications between then-President Donald Trump and members of Congress during the attack. McCarthy is among the Republicans known to have spoken with Trump on Jan. 6.
To investigate a traitorous insurrection - they should get everything they need. No safe harbor for people who viscously attack our federal government.
Where is his patriotism and his brain?
That is one scared muthaf*****.
Way to reignite the FIRES who will burn at the stake first McCarthy? Corruption knows no bounds.
The lows of the GOPs utter betrayal of American values
Why?
Trying to hide his recorded unrequited weepy begging to the Liar
Qevin is doing a form of witness tampering.
McCarthy going full Trump. If people like him can be elected and remain in office politics will not progress as a democracy.
Private information lol that's funny. Didn't most of the videos and photos from that end up on social media anyway?
As he should. I am amazed that Democrats like the surveillance state so much.
Due to the late,slow,disastrous approach to pandemia by Trump, USA is a huge graveyard with more than 657000 coronavirus patient’s deaths.Trump destroyed the economy, cannot respond to racial crisis properly & incited violence against Capitol on January 6! Enough is enough!
Another threat because they'll all be exposed.
Treason
the public demands the truth not sabotage.
The GOPOOP has no interest in investigating the attempted 1/6/21 insurrection. They're afraid of the investigation uncovering their collusion in this event.
That says a lot about Kevin, Gym etc participation in insurrection.
Tuff we need the Truth
You can't hide kevin.
McCarthy what are you afraid of.Your political career is already going down the toilet so why not start telling the truth.
Clearly Obstruction of Justice
GOPLeader is sounding very defensive...are you getting worried, Kevin?
TYRANT!!!
GOPLeader wants attention so bad.
Biden should resign or be impeached!
GOPLeader Politics is so messed up that our leaders think they can threaten companies for complying with the law. McCarthy should be wanting to get to truth; instead he stands in way and protects those who are complicit.
McCarthy is acting like a gangster now, phone companies should be scared 😳 watch out, please.
We're already a third world country or at least our politicians are
Tied to Trump like a stone dropping from Trump Tower.
Granpda Joe McCarthy would approve
Hmmmmmmm sounds like PANIC due to being COMPLICIT and being EXPOSED!
Yeah but those companies will comply because they know what will happen to them if they don't.
Fuc this seditionist!
I say he is frightened by what will happen to him once the indisputable record comes out.
Obstruction of justice much GOPLeader ? TheJusticeDept
seems afraid of something...wonder what?
There may never be another GOP majority.
Witness tampering, Obstruction
So where in the DOJ? Oh wait, AG MuellerGotThis is still doing nothing. MerrickGarland is the worst AG for doing literally nothing to prosecute the leaders of the big lie.
Dayum! He’s skerred!
What are they hiding? GOPLeader
Fired
Remove all extremists.
Insurrectionists running scared.
Can you spell obstruction!!!!
That's evidence, witness tampering! Arrest McCarthy
The feds can get these docs no problem. So, GOPLeader can fuck off. If he businesses so much, he shouldn’t be stopping this bc It was the patriot act that the feds basically had the right to gain info from the citizens using companies. You’re welcome.
Nancy Pelosi and Schumer need to start leading- especially Schumer- whip Sinema and Manchin in line and get stuff done- enough already!!!
Maybe... McCarthy was involved in the planning?
totally not what a guilty person would do
Again, your fascist ideas are not going to work in this country. What are you afraid of McCarthy?
I’m so tired of these GOP bullies
Nothing like fighting for transparency in the investigation about the insurrection that threatened to overturn our democracy.
Threaten them with what? More ass kissing so he can continue to receive campaigne donations?
GOPLeader I hope they present these threats to their lawyers & head off any future Government interference of their companies; more than likely they're idle threats because these companies are just as rich as they are & to retaliate against them will affect their donor money.
GOPLeader FBI JusticeOIG How can Kevin McCarthy openly threaten communication companies by telling them not to comply with phone records from 1/6 by Judiciary committee or face Republican wrath. It’s bad enough lithely blocked an independent investigation. What are they hiding
McCarthy doesn't have unquestioned power. Private companies can just ignore him or threaten to pull their money.
Scaredy cat😂
McCarthy sounds ner…ner…vous. Hunh.
Very simply, 'F McCarthy!'
Whatever happened to the question, 'If you got nothin to hide'?
Cool, obstruction of justice.
