Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), who serves as the chair of the House Oversight Committee, wrote a letter to Parler COO Jeffrey Wernickon Monday demanding that the social media platform reveal its investors and creditors.
“In the weeks leading up to the assault on the Capitol on January 6, Parler users actively took to the platform to call for violence and even ‘civil war,'” began Maloney in her letter.
“A recent analysis by USA Today shows a strong connection between President Trump’s speech at the January 6 rally and a significant uptick in calls for violence on Parler,” she added. “Immediately after President Trump exhorted his supporters to ‘show strength’ during his speech, the term ‘civil war’ surged into one of the top five most frequently used terms on Parler. One user wrote, ‘Be men fight back and f— them up. Civil war is upon us.'”
Maloney went on to mention that “since the attacks, numerous Parler users have been arrested and charged for their roles, with the Department of Justice citing in several instances the threats that individuals made through Parler in the days leading up to and following the attack.”
While Maloney targets Parler, however, she appears to take no interest in other social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, which protesters also used to organize and discuss their plans ahead of the Capitol Hill riot — according to FBI affidavits.

Maloney’s demands:
1. A capitalization table showing individuals and entities with direct or indirect ownership interests in Parler, and a shareholder register maintained by you or any third-party on your behalf
2. A list of all individuals and entities who have or had any control over Parler
3. A list of Parler’s creditors which hold or held a debt of at least $10,000, including the type of debt funding, amount owed, maturity, and applicable interest rate
4. All agreements, including but not limited to consulting, service, or business agreements, that Parler has with any Russian individual or entity
5. All documents and communications referring or relating to proposed or completed financing, gifts, or investment in Parler directly or indirectly by any Russian individual or entity
6. All documents and communications referring to relating to a proposal to provide President Donald Trump with an ownership stake in Parler
sounds like Maloney wants a piece of the action /s
This is incredible... the destruction of our Republic before our very eyes...
You get the idea that Breitbart doesn’t like Parler?
Tell them to pound sand.
I DEMAND every investor and contributor to BLM that the Democrat party took funding for and whom performed actual acts of insurrection and sedition.
She's not concerned about Antifa roaming the streets of American cities, smashing store fronts, setting fires and shouting "Burn it down" though, right?
I’d respond with a simple GFY.
The democrats are drunk with power. I know, cue Captain Obvious.
She represents an illegitimate government and totalitarian policy.
Show me the law Malarkey is using to demand this information.
Doesn’t it have to be relevant to legislation?
The problem with that is many of them probably already do.
Nuts
Fishing expedition. They want to hem Trump in.
Dear Carolyn:
With regards to inquiries 1-6, please find our response to the same:
Crack off
Should you have any further questions, please crack off.
Can we have the same info for BLM and Antifa?
She has been misspelling her name for all these years. Substitute a “B” for the “M”.
Time to file a Writ of Prohibition with the court.
My initial impulse would be to respond with an open letter
Dear Miss Baloney:
We are in receipt of your letter of XX/YY/2021.
After due consideration, we recommend that you eat a bag of dicks.
Sincerely,
Parler
