the Schiff - Pelosi - msm conflation machine is in high gear
there are no subpoenas, only requests
this hearkens back to Comey's National Security Letters (NSL's) and the Lavabit offensive on the 1st and 4th amendments.
"On the substance of McCarthy’s complaint, congressional committees have routinely used subpoena power to obtain data from private companies, including phone records, emails and other communications. The Jan. 6 committee has not identified whose communications it is seeking, but it has made clear that members of Congress are among the potential targets, which would be a departure from past practices — one that members of the panel have said they believe is warranted in this case."
then why not issue a subpoena????????????'
"McCarthy called out Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for what he called “attempts to strong-arm private companies to turn over individuals’ private data.” He asserted that such a forfeiture of information would “put every American with a phone or computer in the crosshairs of a surveillance state run by Democrat politicians.”
i don't think Captain Valium goes far enough
these requests are illegal and violate my privacy as a U.S. citizen and should be prosecuted.
