There is no correlation between the House investigation?s request for phone records and legislation that exists to protect the American people from having their phone records seized unconstitutionally. McCarthy wrongly claims that the House would create this precedent

"On the substance of McCarthy?s complaint, congressional committees have routinely used subpoena power to obtain data from private companies, including phone records, emails and other communications."

This is the link to the U S CODE on information gathering & supersedes tabloid or social media claims. McCarthy sb well aware of the rule & his obligation toward it as well as others who might be effected. His threats are theatrical & unprofessional.

This does not violate federal law
