Arizona Republican Politician Celebration Chair Kelli Ward is filing a movement in federal court to quash the Pelosi-led January 6 Select Committee’s subpoena of her phone records, Breitbart News discovered on Tuesday.
Breitbart News found out on Tuesday that Ward received news that the “committee” was “unconstitutionally seeking to breach” their “4th Change right to privacy” via a letter sent to her from T-Mobile, notifying her of the subpoena.
The letter, dated January 24, 2022, mentions that it got a subpoena for records connected to a phone number associated with her T-Mobile account “from the U.S. Home Select Committee to Examine the January sixth Attack on the United States Capitol.”
T-Mobile notified Ward that it meant to produce the documents by February 4, 2022, unless she provided the company with documentation “no later” than February 2. The documents must verify she “submitted a motion for a protective order, movement to quash, or other legal process looking for to obstruct compliance with the subpoena.”
“Had we not been at house, T-Mobile would have launched the records with no opportunity of intervention from us,” Ward stated, blasting Pelosi’s committee as being made up by “political hacks whose only objective is to remove President Trump and those of us who have unwaveringly supported him and who have actually non-stop stood up for election stability.”
“I refuse to rest and have my civil liberties trampled by a rogue committee that has no authority to do so (they aren’t legislating based on this faux investigation) so I will continue to loudly and correctly fight for our terrific American republic that the Left is hellbent on damaging,” she informed Breitbart News.
Breitbart News evaluated the Movement to Quash, which contends that the scope of the T-Mobile subpoena “breaches Arizona state law opportunities, advantages safeguarded by the Federal Rules of Evidence, and federal statutory law protecting client info,” offered Ward’s function as a practicing physician, in addition to her hubby’s.
“Among these files, the Subpoena needs that T-Mobile supply ‘subscriber info,’ including all authorized users on the associated account, all contact number, SIM, IMSI, and other identifiers associated with the account, and the names and identifies of people related to the account, including IP addresses,” a problem for the motion checks out in part:
The production of these files by T-Mobile concerning the Phone Number, and the Subpoena upon which this production would be based, breach the civil liberties of the Plaintiffs, particularly linking the defenses of the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution; make up an ultra vires action by the Committee in violation of its own Rules, the rules of the House of Representatives of the United States Congress, and the basic basis underlying the minimal congressional power to investigate for legal purposes; breach state and federal privileges of medical personal privacy and physician-client communications; and significantly infringe the right to privacy guaranteed under Arizona state law by invading the Complainants’ privacy.
Last month, Home Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) made it clear that he has no intention of taking part in the committee, noting it is “not performing a genuine investigation as Speaker Pelosi took the extraordinary action of rejecting the Republican members I named to serve on the committee.”
“It is not serving any legal function. The committee’s only goal is to try to harm its political opponents– acting like the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee one day and the DOJ the next,” he stated, blasting the committee for subpoenaing “the call records of civilians and their monetary records from banks while demanding secrecy not supported by law.”
