I was trying to figure out why Kash Patel had thrown a Jan 6-er under the bus in a bid to keep his job. But I think I see now lmao . . . .
This is one republican Trump likely won't be pardoning.

We unequivocally condemn Donald Trump's disgusting & dangerous #DeathThreats against Members of #Congress & call on #House #Republicans to forcefully do the same.
Donald #Trump incited a violent attack on the Capitol on #Jan6 as part of a treacherous attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. The President's violent & unhinged rhetoric against American patriots is consistent with his well-documented history of attacking #POWs, #GoldStarFamilies & #WarHeroes.

Rep #JamieRaskin (D-MD) called the provision “one of the most blatantly #corrupt provisions for political self-dealing & the plunder of public resources ever proposed in #Congress.”
The provision, which is retroactive to 2022, only applies to members of the #Senate & would allow them to sue for $500,000 if data was sought without their being notified, as well as once it was obtained.
“That’s a cool one million per Senator,” Raskin said in a stmnt.

#House passes bill to reopen government after longest #shutdown ever
The legislation now goes to #Trump to sign into #law.
The bill INCLUDES the provision allowing Senators who were investigated by the #DOJ for their alleged involvement in Trump’s effort to overturn the #2020election to sue the #US #government for $500,000.
It DOES NOT INCLUDE the #healthcare subsidies for the #ACA, nor a reversal of the GOP #Medicaid cuts Democrats wanted.

“The Senators may not like being treated like the rest of America, but these phone-record subpoenas & non-disclosure orders are routine in grand jury investigations at the state & federal level. No one has an absolute right to be notified that their call records have been subpoenaed, much less the right to a million bucks if it happens. This provision would not give any Americans other than US Senators these rights,” #JamieRaskin said.
“If we believe that citizens should receive notice when the #government subpoenas their phone bill, great! Perhaps this revolutionary new policy—which #CivilLiberties groups would probably support—should be the law. But then the law should protect the civil liberties of all 320 million Americans, as the #EqualProtectionClause of the #Constitution demands, not just the 100 Americans in the #Senate,” #JamieRaskin added.

“There was no ‘phone tap’ or eavesdropping on the content of their conversations. The call records subpoenaed were the kind of information you see on a phone bill—a list of calls made & received,” #JamieRaskin said, adding that the 8 senators were “pathetically casting themselves as victims.”
Jack Smith sought the phone records of 8 senators as well as 1 member of the House during his investigation into #Jan6, including those known to have spoken to #Trump during the #insurrection.

#JackSmith, #Trump’s Target, Shifts From Defense to Counterattack
The former special counsel has told people in his orbit he welcomes the opportunity to present the public case against the president denied to him by adverse court rulings & the 2024 election.
Bring it.
