On Saturday Senator Mark Warner, a Democrat who is the incoming chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, wrote to the chief executives of 11 mobile carriers and social media companies, urging them to preserve content and associated meta-data connected to the riot, which erupted as lawmakers gathered to certify the election of Democratic President-elect Joe Biden.

In his letters, Warner emphasized how the rioters took time to document the event and share it through social media and text messages “to celebrate their disdain for our democratic process.”

One has to wonder why no Democrat has asked the same of mobile carriers and social media companies during last years destruction of many American cities during 2020 or the more recent riots in Portland.
