Republican house minority leader, Kevin McCarthy
might be in serious trouble.
[5]
You see, earlier this past week, McCarthy
issued a threat to telecom companies telling
[12]
them they better not comply with any requests
for telephone records from certain members
[19]
of Congress that have been requested by the
January 6th
[22]
Select committee.
[24]
Now
[25]
Later on Marjorie Taylor green of course came
out and said, we'll shut you down.
[28]
If you comply McCarthy, didn't specify what
his threat was, but he did tell these individuals
[34]
do not comply with this or else.
[37]
Well, at the time,
[40]
That was pretty much illegal, right?
[42]
This would be considered either witness tampering,
obstruction of justice, whatever it is.
[47]
But on Thursday evening, it was revealed by
CNN that McCarthy's communications have been
[54]
targeted by the committee.
[56]
And they were part of the request.
[58]
So suddenly, suddenly
[60]
This is not just a powerful Republican saying,
Hey, don't do this.
[64]
It's a target of the investigation in a position
of power telling them not to do this or else
[71]
that changes the game and believe it or not
take something that was already likely illegal
[77]
and makes it like super illegal.
[81]
One legal expert said is a very clear violation
of the victim and witness protection act of
[85]
1982.
[87]
The law forbids anyone from corruptly or by
threats of force or by any threatening communication
[92]
influencing, obstructing, or impeding any
pending proceeding before a department or
[96]
agency of the United States or Congress.
[101]
Um, okay.
[105]
So prosecute the bastard.
[107]
Like what, what, why, why are we even having
this conversation?
[111]
Why are we talking
[112]
About this in the hypothetical and not already
in the, okay.
[116]
Now you're already under investigation.
[118]
Uh, same thing obviously with Marjorie Taylor
green, who also, according to CNN is a target.
[123]
That one was pretty obvious.
[125]
Um,
[126]
Prosecute them, prosecute
[128]
Them for violating this federal law.
[132]
You have them saying these things literally
in video, Marjorie Taylor green made her comments
[138]
on Tucker Carlson show.
[141]
You can find that I don't understand and why
we haven't already
[149]
Launched, uh, investigations here.
[151]
And I say investigations, it's obvious to
me.
[155]
And to most people reading this, watching
this, whatever, uh, that this happened begin
[159]
because these people said these comments on
air, we know what the law is.
[162]
I just read you, you know, basically the abstract
of it that makes us very clear, but of course
[167]
you can't just immediately charged them.
[169]
You have to have investigations to see if
that's what it was, but it appears to me that
[173]
that's what
[174]
It was like.
[175]
There's no real way slice this where it's
not totally and corrupt.
[181]
And I want to see charges.
[183]
I want this January 6th committee to
[186]
Press charges against these individuals for,
you know, violating this law, obstructing
[191]
justice, justice tampering with witnesses
because that's what the telecom companies
[195]
are.
[197]
They have the communications, they have evidence.
[200]
So they become in effect a witness to the
case, providing material, evidence
[206]
To the committee.
[208]
It's pretty cut and dry folks.
[212]
These two individuals, Marjorie Taylor green,
Kevin McCarthy,
[218]
At least
[219]
In my view of looking at things here.
[222]
I think they broke the law and I think they
should be prosecuted to the fullest extent
[227]
of it.
[228]
Because if not, as I always say, what's the
point of having laws, if you're not going
[233]
to enforce them.
