Washington (CNN)-The House Select Committee investigating the January 6 Capitol riot is poised to send notices to various telecommunications companies requesting that they preserve the phone records of several people, including members of Congress, multiple sources tell CNN.

Preserving communications records is the first step in an investigatory process that could eventually lead to witness testimony. The notices are set to go out as soon as this week and provide the first window into the kinds of information the committee plans to pursue.

Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson, who serves as chairman of the Select Committee, has said that he hopes to issue subpoenas by the end of August. Thompson also has signed off on a broader investigative strategy that will serve as a guide for the panel's work going forward, according to a source familiar with the planning document.

1. Excellent! 👏👏👏👏

[RayStar]

2. Great

I hope the findings expose people who helped the raiders!

[johnnyfins]

3. I hate to rain on the parade

but there will be no justice from this select committee. At best, it will help elections in 2022 and 2024. Too many guilty parties will say they don't remember what happened.

9. How do you imagine that will land

When we have phone records prior to and during the assault on the Capitol?

4. The first five repubs to squeal

will be a huge tell.

5. Go get them, Bennie!

6. Does anyone know if this commitee can recommend or refer prosecution to DOJ? I was

under the impression it was strictly "fact-finding," but wondered what referral authority (if any) might entail?

[monkeyman1]

8. yes , already was established when the committee was formed !

in conjunction with the doj & subpoena's can not be ignored! plus a lot of other rule's such as TFG can be forced to testify!

[Evolve Dammit]

13. that's huge. Do you have a link?

[monkeyman1]

14. might take a bit !! it was just before the house went on it's summer break !!

[Evolve Dammit]

15. No worries. Thanks

7. I want to know who Lauren Boebert was giving Capitol Tours to when they were not being done.

Who did Ali Alexander, Mo Brooks, Paul Gosar, and the Trump spawn communicate with?

Also, Ginni Thomas was alleged to have organized bus loads or troglodytes to descend on DC.

Then threre's this fascist-

10. I want to know who disabled the panic buttons on the desks?

[Mr. Evil]

11. That is a question that needs to be answered soon.

I think this goes much much deeper. The phone record communications can lead us to the money. Then follow that trail. I don't want lip service and a dog and pony show. I want a full scale investigation.

Insurrection, sedition and treason happened before and on 1/6.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. Yes! Dig deep. Keep digging. Deconstruct all the "plausible deniability". . . . nt
