Appeals court temporarily blocks Jan. 6 committee from getting RNC records

BY HARPER NEIDIG - 05/24/22 2:42 PM ET

A federal appeals court on Tuesday temporarily blocked the House Jan. 6 select committee from obtaining Republican National Committee (RNC) records while the GOP challenges a subpoena for documents pertaining to its fundraising efforts in the weeks leading up to Jan. 6, 2021.

A three-judge panel for the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals granted the RNC a temporary administrative injunction prohibiting third-party vendor Salesforce from turning over the party’s fundraising records to the select committee. The injunction will remain in effect until the judges decide the RNC’s emergency motion for a more lasting injunction, the panel said in a brief order.

“The purpose of this administrative injunction is to give the court sufficient opportunity to consider the emergency motion for an injunction pending appeal and should not be construed in any way as a ruling on the merits of that motion,” the panel said.

All three judges on the panel were appointed by former President Trump.

3. "I remember covering all 3 of these judges as Trump's judicial nominees:"

I remember covering all 3 of these judges as Trump's judicial nominees:

Gregory Katsas (record of trying to restrict voting rights, LGBTQ rights, abortion rights)

Neomi Rao (previously wrote articles blaming women for date rape)

Justin Walker (“not qualified” ABA rating)

Justin Walker “does not presently have the requisite trial or litigation experience” to be a federal judge, the ABA concluded after reviewing his record.

So why did he get confirmed?

Because he was Mitch McConnell's personal pick.

Because irony is not dead, Neomi Rao -- who weakened protections for sexual assault survivors and once argued that women can avoid date rape by staying sober -- was confirmed as Brett Kavanaugh's replacement on the D.C. Circuit.

Possible mail fraud if they were fundraising off the big lie?
