Tucker Carlson obtained Attorney General Merrick Garland's wide-reaching subpoenas demanding dozens of allies of former president Donald Trump hand over all their communications related to "any claim that the vice president and/or president of the Senate had the authority to reject or choose not to count presidential electors." Carlson said that "any claim you make about American politics is protected explicitly under the First Amendment. That's our core freedom. That's why nobody prosecuted leading Democrats in 2016 when they sought to reject electors for Donald Trump. Right. It's why none of those people, including Kamala Harris, is now in jail." White House official Stephen Miller received a subpoena after outlining a legal remedy. In addition, Trump's current attorney Boris Epshteyn, and other attorneys that represented Trump, were also subpoenaed. This is historic because at no time in American history has it been okay to grab the personal communications of someone's lawyer because those are privileged. "Not anymore," said Carlson. He stated that the point of the subpoenas is to suppress political dissent, to hobble an entire political party and to keep any of these people from ever participating in American politics again. Republicans are so shocked that they are allowing it to happen.
