Let me make this pellucidly clear

That August 31 day in 2021 when 11 ReTHUGs led by 15 tries Kevin threatened the phone companies over Jan 6, many of us knew that they would eventually all be going down with their Slobfather and the other enablers of the failed coup.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/kevin-mccarthy-january-6-committee-telecommunications-companies-records/

Washington – House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy warned a group of private companies that Republicans will "not forget" if they comply with a request to preserve documents from the House select committee investigating the January 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol.

McCarthy said in a statement posted to Twitter on Tuesday that letters from the January 6 panel sent to 35 social media, telecommunications and email companies this week would "put every American with a phone or computer in the crosshairs of a surveillance state run by Democrat politicians."

"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," he said. "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."

Watch their behavior since Slobby’s indictment - they are terrified - watch their fake hearings and calls for Antifa.
It’s hilarious.
Georgia and Jan 6 coming up

"Republican Majority" becomes a quaint, obsolete phrase that you never hear any more. Kinda like Whig.

of us knew it was coming. My speculation on when was the most accurate, I suppose. I'm lucky in that I've played a small part in a couple federal court cases, and had patient people explain to me how it works, and recommend numerous resources to study. Our legal system isn't perfect, of course, since human beings are involved. But when it works, it is a thing of beauty. It held under the years of attack, and we are witnessing it in the context of one of, if not the, most important cases in history.

a request to preserve documents from the House select committee investigating the January 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol? A traitor and a liar. McCarthy can be trusted just about as far as Trump. That is, under no circumstances and not at all.

I agree 100% with everything you stated, except "sadly." We are up against an opposition without conscience, that will apply every dirty trick they can think of. It will be long and sometimes difficult, other times rewarding. But it is worth it, and I think we should welcome this opportunity to knock the shit out of the enemies of our country.

Kevin was obviously grasping at straws there, just burbling whatever popped into his otherwise empty head. It's no wonder whatever came out was complete nonsense!
