Jan 6th Capitol Riot Panel backs off push to get RNC data
NEW YORK POST
The House select committee investigating last year’s Capitol riot is no longer pushing for the Republican National Committee to hand over documents ahead of scheduled public hearings next month.
In a Sunday filing, House lawyers said the schedule set by a federal appeals court panel “makes clear that the information at the core of this case … cannot be obtained, analyzed, and utilized by the Select Committee in the public hearings scheduled during the next several weeks.”
“That information, therefore, could only be useful for additional hearings later this year and/or for an ensuing final Select Committee report recommending legislative action,” they wrote.

The committee initially subpoenaed software company Salesforce in February for email data between Election Day 2020 and Jan. 6, 2021 — suggesting in the process that the RNC’s messaging and fundraising efforts during that time amplified then-President Donald Trump’s claims of election fraud.
The RNC responded by filing a lawsuit against the committee in early March, calling the request “unconstitutional overreach.”
However, their efforts to block the request were tossed out earlier this month, after a federal judge determined the subpoena was not “overbroad.”
The RNC quickly appealed the decision and a three-judge panel granted an injunction, preventing the committee from getting the records and setting a schedule for arguments to be held in the coming weeks.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
