Yikes: McCarthy & Taylor-Greene warn telecom companies not to turn over Jan 6 phone records

[lantern2814]

Sorry, but around 30 violent Trumpublicans have been charged with conspiracy.

january 6 rioters charged with conspiracy

Still not insurrection. Since the FBI has admitted there’s no evidence of any organized plot, you’ll need a lot of luck getting any worse than misdemeanor charges.

They arent being forced. The telecomm companies are going to be asked to turn over phone records. The legal justification is the oversight function of Congress.

Not legal. COngress has no right to those records. A specific charge against a specific person is needed and even then no guarantee a judge will allow it.

Oversight doesn't allow politicians to violate your 4th Amendment rights.

Neato. But it does allow them to subpoena phone records.

 

[dudmuck]

Blatantly unconstitutional.

Mitch Mcconnell wanted to give the AG access to your browsing history and internet searches.

 

[Who_Me?]

Isnt this um sort of illegal ? Smacks of a mafia family intimidating witnesses.

Um no, it smells of how the government rounded up the mafia family members.

 

[playtime]

Wrong as usual drunky. No court order, no proof of any crime, no right to those records. Epic fail, as usual...

The Trumpsters must know that if something is found in those records, they won't be able to brush it away with "fake news", "deep state", "commies", etc.

They would certainly try, of course, because that's all they know to do. That's the extent of their ability. And that would be great fun to observe.

trump did.

While he was president. Only unlike the democrats, trump did it in secret.

He got Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell's phone records secretly.

There's an inspector general investigation into it now.

trump did much worse than just ask companies to retain records. Which is all the democrats have done thus far. That's it. All the democrats have done is ask those companies to retain records.

trump went much farther. He got phone records of those politicians and the records of many journalists. Mostly those at The NY Times and Washington Post. trump got the judge to issue a gag order so the phone companies couldn't alert their customers that it was being done.

The only reason why we know about this is because the gag order lapsed so the phone companies alerted their customers about trump getting their phone records. If that gag order had not expired, none of this would have been known.

You had absolutely no problem with trump doing this and doing it in secret.

Yet you have a problem with democrats publicly asking phone companies to retain records.

You are nothing but a hypocrite.

Surely this would be the end of the conversation on this matter. Trump did it to a deafening silence from these hypocrites.

Where does the Constitution say that?

He's a NAZI douchbag.

The Dims have far more to worry about than the Republicans.

Trump did what?

 

[Tommy Tainant]

Trump did what?

Obtain phone records from political opponents. Got a gagging order as well the dirty ******.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Obtain phone records from political opponents. Got a gagging order as well the dirty ******.

And I guess none of that had to do with DumBama getting Trump's phone calls even before he was elected President, huh?

Like I keep saying about you leftists, you pull your shit, and when we are in power, we're going to do the exact same thing to you.

Where does the Constitution say that?

A silly question. Case law says it. As it turns out, case law defines what is constitutional. Crying that something is not isn't very useful, when the precedents say otherwise.

Only for a specify charge to a specific person. fishing trips do not comply with the first amendment.

And the courts. And normal adults. Only desperate cultists make shit up as you are.
