Having run out of <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.freep.com\/story\/news\/politics\/2022\/01\/28\/michigan-fake-gop-electoral-college-delegates\/9257482002\/\">grandmothers to subpoena<\/a>\u00a0about out-of-state activities completely unrelated to that day \u2014 serving as a contingent elector, something Democrats themselves have done in the past \u2014 Pelosi\u2019s sham committee has issued a subpoena that threatens the First Amendment rights of millions of Americans.<\/p>\n<p>The subpoena\u2019s scope is breathtaking. It demands Salesforce, a leading digital and data vendor the RNC and other prominent organizations widely use, turn over all RNC data metrics, analytics and related information in its possession from a several-month period, regardless of whether that information is relevant to investigating Jan. 6. This isn\u2019t simple, top-level information, like how many people opened a particular e-mail. It would give the committee unfettered access to sensitive and proprietary RNC data that would reveal both the RNC\u2019s trade secrets and the personal information of millions of its supporters.<\/p>\n<p>The committee says it needs Salesforce\u2019s info \u201cto help investigators understand the impact of false, inflammatory messages in the weeks before January 6th, the flow of funds, and whether contributions were actually directed to the purpose indicated.\u201d But the RNC\u2019s internal political data and campaign strategies have nothing to do with investigating the attack on the Capitol. Pelosi is attempting to undermine the RNC for political gain.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/capitol-riot-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"The Salesforce subpoena has little to do with the investigation into the Capitol riot.\" class=\"wp-image-21695149\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/capitol-riot-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/capitol-riot-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/capitol-riot-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>The Salesforce subpoena has little to do with the investigation into the Capitol riot.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP Photo\/John Minchillo, File<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This isn\u2019t an investigation; it\u2019s industrial espionage.<\/p>\n<p>Never mind that the RNC repeatedly has condemned the violence that took place on Jan. 6 or that the RNC itself was targeted that day when a bomb was placed outside its Washington headquarters. This subpoena is not about Jan. 6; it\u2019s about the political party in power doing whatever it can to keep the minority party from winning in November, as it\u2019s projected to do.<\/p>\n<p>This chilling attack on the First and Fourth amendments also exceeds Congress\u2019 limited subpoena power. The Supreme Court consistently has held that a congressional subpoena must be rooted in a legislative purpose rather than law enforcement. Even The New York Times reports that the committee \u201cis employing techniques more common in criminal cases than in congressional inquiries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There is no good-faith legislative goal here, and there is nothing forward-looking about the committee\u2019s efforts to seize confidential information about the RNC\u2019s political strategies and the private data of tens of millions of Americans.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/nancy-pelosi.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Speaker Nancy Pelosi\u2019s Jan. 6 committee is attempting to seize the private information of political opponents. \" class=\"wp-image-21695170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/nancy-pelosi.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/nancy-pelosi.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/nancy-pelosi.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Speaker Nancy Pelosi\u2019s Jan. 6 committee is attempting to seize the private information of political opponents. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Photo by Kevin Dietsch\/Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This attempted abuse of power should concern every American. If successful, this gross overreach would establish a new standard for political warfare: The party in power can drop all regard for the separation of powers and order forced seizures of the opposition\u2019s data, analytics, strategies and communications.<\/p>\n<p>Where\u00a0would it end? If Democrats can subpoena Salesforce for digital data on millions of Americans, what\u2019s stopping them from subpoenaing credit-card companies for your financial information that could help Democratic fundraising? What\u2019s stopping powerful politicians from subpoenaing a tech company for your personal data to better aid their targeted get-out-the vote programs?<\/p>\n<p>If the Jan. 6 committee has its way, the party controlling Congress would only need to make a passing reference to considering future legislation to justify this type of abuse.\u00a0There are lines we cannot cross if we want our system to survive. This is one of them.<\/p>\n<p>Congressional Democrats are trying to rewrite the rules of political engagement just months before they lose power. The RNC has sued to stop them. But the biggest losers, if Democrats win, would be the millions of Americans whose free speech and freedom of association would be tossed aside because Nancy Pelosi and her committee feel they have scores to settle. We won\u2019t let that happen.<\/p>\n<p><em>Ronna McDaniel is chairwoman of the Republican National Committee.<\/em>\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
