The Republican National Committee (RNC) on Wednesday sued the congressional panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, seeking to block its subpoena of an RNC vendor. In a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia, the RNC said the House Select Committee's subpoena of Salesforce, which organizes donor information for the RNC, was "overbroad" and "seeks sensitive and proprietary data." "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," the RNC said in a statement. The Jan. 6 committee has been investigating the events surrounding the attack on the Capitol for more than seven months. In a statement, the committee said the RNC and the Trump campaign had solicited donations after the 2020 election "by pushing false claims that the election was tainted by widespread fraud." The committee said claims about a stolen election motivated rioters who stormed the Capitol. The subpoena "has absolutely nothing to do with getting the private information of voters or donors," the committee said.

Discovery should be interesting.
Why would they be do business with Salesforce....wokeness
The hubris is mind boggling. These same people ALL swore to uphold the Constitution. Just for asking for this, each person on the committee who voted for it deserves a slow, painful death fitting for a tyrant. Inexcusable. They must see themselves as gods. The political weaponization of government powers should by all rights be a capital crime.
RNC with balls? You must be joking. This is just another minor chapter in the lawfare engaged by WDC political factions. The results, if any ever come down, are inconsequential. Nobody loses their job, their pension, or their life.
Until substantial, painful and sometimes permanent consequences are handed out to the guilty, nothing will change.
