Dec 2021

if they think the committee doesn't have the right to their phone records, don't they have to sue the committee? How can they sue Verizon? Verizon has just been asked for the records, they have no dog in the fight. If I rob a Wendy's and the camera at the bank next door catches me running away, and the police ask for the tapes from the bank, i can't sue the bank and say "the police have no right to ask for your camera". Can I???
