The subpoenas issued by the 1/6 Committee to third-party platforms are shockingly broad: vast info on the private acts of private citizens. To obtain those, DOJ/FBI needs judicial approval: so 2 branches agreeing, because investigating crimes lay solely with them, not Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

For those who think Congress has the right to investigate private citizens as long as the issue is "important," here's the last time the SupCt explained why that's false: 2020. The context was different - Congress wanted Trump's tax returns. Private citizens have more protection. https://t.co/McegZDgHB6 — PolitiTweet.org

It's not just a transgression of clear Constitutional limits for Congress to act as criminal investigators, but also chilling of free speech/assembly rights. We saw it in the McCarthy era - when the SupCt stepped in - but imagine a GOP Congress investigating Antifa/BLM protesters — PolitiTweet.org
