Greenwald reports that the ranking democratic member of the House Intelligence Committee (an oxymoron if there ever was one) and Bush wiretapping enabler, Rep. Jane Harman D-Ca was caught on tape offering to interfere with the espionage investigation of two American-Israeli Public Affairs Committee officials. Now here’s the good part, it was picked up by the NSA wiretapping program that she’s been such a cheerleader for. Let me savor the delicious irony of that, ahhhh yes…
This was captured on tape while Alberto (Fredo) Gonzales was AG and he personally intervened to kill the investigation in to Rep. Harman. She was a useful tool in protecting and defending Bush’s illegal wireptapping program. That makes this sort of a twofer.
Perhaps Rep. Harman has a better taste now of why allowing the government to sweep up massive streams of telecommunications is such a bad idea. Hoisted by her own petard, indeed.
