Andy Biggs , Jim Banks and Marjorie Taylor Greene . The letters urge the companies to decline a request from the January 6 panel to preserve the phone records and data of Capitol riot defendants and others who sought to overturn the election, vowing to “pursue all legal remedies” if they don’t.

Many of the letter’s signatories, such as Reps. Mo Brooks and Madison Cawthorn , who spoke at a “Stop The Steal” rally outside the White House ahead of the Capitol riot, are likely beingThe letters address that likelihood, with the lawmakers telling the companies they “do not consent to the release of confidential call records or data” as part of their threat of legal action.

No accident, they intended to send the letter. They just couldn't be bothered to verify their (out-of-date) information. No accident, just incompetence. DoBetter

This headline makes no sense. They didn't accidentally do it.

“Accidentally?” No. This bunch is just intellectually lazy and uninformed

Just arrest all these people and let's move on

It’s a sign of their intelligence or lack there of

Of course they did

💩 show

This seems like such a lame tactic. Would any corporation care about the threat? glennkirschner2

Please tell me these dolts pictured are first in line to be investigated.

The spirit of Benghazi has been lost. Closed government and obstruction of Congressional oversight is the new GOP mantra. This is not healthy for democracy.

they can't get anything right, but that is the republican way.

Rioters planned on social for weeks why Capitol police unprepared? Congress senators Capitol police conspiracy. They all bad.

So hard to pick out the dumbest of the dumb in that pic. lol

The Three Stooges found The Three Stooges!

Our tax dollars hard at work

And by “thwart” you mean obstruct. Call the crime by the name it is.

They also accidentally picked the wrong country and the wrong head of state. These people shouldn’t be in charge of a lemonade stand.

lol

Good luck with your asparagus louie

That’s how smart that crew is

The GOP wanted every e-mail Hillary Clinton ever wrote. They were relentless. Double standard? The Jan 6th committee wants a couple days of text etc communications. With Lauren Boebert giving a tour of the Capitol the day before and posting '1776!' on January 6th there is cause.

What a headline. A lazy or poorly informed error is not an accident.

praise the creator

I have been tweeting about this like a troll in heat since 11/11/2020. Please, hear me out. NoOneUnscripted
