​McCarthy's 'gangster' threat signals 'dark future' of Putin-style shakedowns if GOP takes House: columnist

House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy's "gangster"-style threat against telecommunications companies that comply with requests from a Jan. 6 Select Committee signals a "dark future" if Republicans take control of the House in 2022, according to CNN columnist Stephen Collinson.

"The idea of using power granted by voters to intimidate people or entities who don't share radical political goals not only raises the possibility of abuses of power and the abandoning of rules and accountability necessary for a corruption-free economy," Collinson writes. "It is the kind of shake-down tactic that would be more expected in an autocracy like Vladimir Putin's Russia than in a supposedly functioning democracy like the United States."

McCarthy's threat concerning Jan. 6 records 'meets the elements' of obstruction of justice: legal expert

House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy violated ethics rules — and may have broken the law by obstructing justice — on Tuesday when he threatened telecommunications companies that comply with a Select Committee's request to preserve records relevant to the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, according to CNN legal analyst Norman Eisen.

McCarthy warned the companies — including Apple, AT&T and Verizon — that if the GOP takes back the House in 2022, "a Republican majority will not forget."
