"They want to reinstate the Holman Rule to protect Trump and to protect themselves. Kevin McCarthy is beholden to them in his pursuit of power, and if the Republicans held a majority the Freedom Caucus would have enormous leverage over him. This is what they are demanding."Read on Twitter
"The House Freedom Caucus also has a personal stake in attacking the FBI and DOJ: some of their members asked for pardons, some may be implicated in the January 6th investigation, and their leader had his cell phone seized by investigators probing efforts to overturn the election."Read on Twitter
