RNC Fights Back Against Partisan J6 Committee, Files Lawsuit

After many months of the January 6 committee’s partisan overreach, on Wednesday, the Republican National Committee filed a lawsuit against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the January 6 committee over their efforts to subpoena RNC databases.

“The RNC has sued to stop the January 6th Committee from unlawfully seizing confidential information about the internal activities of the Republican Party and millions of its supporters which is completely unrelated to the attack on the Capitol,” RNC chief counsel Justin Riemer said in a statement.

“The select panel has subpoenaed Salesforce.com for the data it maintains for the RNC. Those digital communications enable political parties and other nonprofit organizations to operate and allow for organizations to interact with millions of online users,” reports the Washington Times. ”

Salesforce also collects and maintains RNC data, including confidential and “sensitive information about private individuals with whom the organization has engaged, ultimately helping develop and execute political strategies,” the RNC said in a statement.

The 29-page lawsuit accuses the J6 committee of demanding documents “that have no connection to the attack on January 6, 2021. Without any limitation to the events of January 6, the Salesforce Subpoena demands production of sensitive and proprietary data over more than a two-month period.”

The J6 committee has long been accused of exceeding its mandate of investigating the Capitol riot and of using the investigation as a pretext for acquiring sensitive information from Republicans, including Trump White House documents that would typically be protected by executive privilege. In addition, the RNC says the database the committee is demanding access to would expose the RNC’s internal political strategies and private information on supporters.

“Nancy Pelosi and the Committee have weaponized Congress’ investigatory powers by issuing this staggeringly broad subpoena which tramples on core First Amendment rights of the RNC and...

The moment you say, “the attack”, you’ve already lost.

Congress creeps diving over each other and taking selfies is not an attack.

When they finally release video of “guards” inviting people inside, there won’t even be any trespass.

Why are the January 6 detainees still in jail, with many still in solitary and not arraigned for what was essentially trespassing on public property (forgetting for the moment the role of FBI instigators)????

. .......nothing about the unconstitutional conditions in which far more are being held prisoners than most people realize.........

The narrative is still “how horrible January 6 was and how it imperiled our democracy.”

570 people still held in D.C.’s jails. Five hundred seventy! I had no idea that so many were incarcerated for so long, without trial, kept in “restricted housing,” solitary confinement, or other extreme denials of privileges normally granted to the general prison population.

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s report about conditions in the D.C. Jail as Paul Gosar, Matt Gaetz, and Louie Gohmert joined her in the report.

So here a large number of Americans are being held without trial under conditions that the Geneva Conventions would object to.

Moreover, they violate the Constitution’s promise of both a speedy trial and the right to be free of cruel and unusual punishment (especially before a trial is carried out with the proper due process and an actual conviction).

Land of the Free? ....more like CCP’s China than the America I grew up in.
