@ee Please get your facts straight before you try to spread misinformation.
It was a subpoena, not a warrant. And had it been looked at and questioned by real attorneys at Verizon, Special Counsel would have backed down for obvious reasons just like they did when AT&T refused to comply after questioning its legality.
And if you actually think this is okay when it happens to one party then you are saying it will be okay to do it to any party, including yours.
On May 25, 2023, Special Counsel’s team issued grand jury subpoenas to Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile for phone toll records and metadata tied to multiple Republican members of Congress and conservative figures.
Verizon had a contractual agreement with the Senate that required notifying the Senate Sergeant at Arms if a member's device was subpoenaed, but the company failed to provide that notification. Oops... those silly human errors that happen at the worst times.
Lawmakers confronted Verizon executives during congressional hearings, noting that Verizon also omitted one of the subpoenas during a 2023 congressional records check, which the company later attributed to human error. Oops... those silly human errors again.
Senate Judiciary Committee and 15 other senators sent a follow-up letter to Verizon CEO demanding a full explanation by August 13, 2026. Lawmakers remain unsatisfied with the "human error" rationale and are pressing the company on when executives first learned about the subpoena and why impacted senators were kept in the dark.
There is nothing to suggest that Verizon has provided a "full explanation" by the August 13, 2026 deadline or afterwards. Senators remain heavily critical of Verizon’s lack of transparency regarding internal executive awareness, keeping Verizon in the crosshairs of the widening Senate Judiciary Committee investigation.
AT&T refused to hand over the phone toll records after bringing legal concerns to Special Counsel’s team. The team did not pursue the matter after AT&T questioned the legality the subpoena.
Verizon complied and turned over the requested customer call and toll records on June 6, 2023.
T-Mobile complied with the subpoenas it received for specific lines, though it noted that many law enforcement demands listed only phone numbers without identifying specific individuals.
Ya left out it was with a warrant. They can't legally refuse.
I'm sure the d-mba55 senator who can't even get the basketball team names straight probably thinks warrant is in reference to the 1980 hair band.
Red Brigade ... who let you loose ?? is Danny boy out ? get back into your cage ! Behave !
