Kevin McCarthy Should be ARRESTED for Obstructing Congressional Investigation

Kevin McCarthy should have been ARRESTED long before he became "Speaker of the House" for obstructing a congressional investigation by making threats to intimidate phone and social media companies that cooperated with the House select committee investigating the Capitol riot.

The House Select Committee investigating the January 6 attack on the US Capitol requested phone records from telecommunications companies as part of its investigation. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy told the telecommunications companies not to comply with the Congressional requests and threatened that if they did, the GOP “would not forget it” once they are in power. This is a brazen act of obstructing a congressional investigation. The Department of Justice must address this promptly or else there likely will be more obstructive conduct by McCarty and perhaps others.

The law is clear on this matter;

1725. Protection Of Government Processes – Obstruction Of Pending Proceeding – 18 U.S.C. 1505

“Section 1505 of Title 18, United States Code, as amended by the Victim and Witness Protection Act of 1982, forbids anyone from corruptly, or by threats of force or by any threatening communication, influencing, obstructing, or impeding any pending proceeding before a department or agency of the United States, or Congress. In 1996 Congress enacted a clarifying amendment to 18 U.S.C. § 1515, which defines the term “corruptly” as used in section 1505 to mean “acting with an improper purpose, personally or by influencing another, including making a false or misleading statement, or withholding, concealing, altering, or destroying a document or other information.”

The fact that Kevin McCarthy hasn’t been arrested and just became Speaker of the House is more proof there’s two (2) “Justice” systems in the United States where the RICH and Politically well connected often escapes Justice & Accountability while Average Joe Citizens are prosecuted to the “Fullest Extent of the Law”.
