  1. Wow, I don’t think this is the CIA’s fourth “shoe”.
    Sounds like the Congressman Nunes either doesn’t understand the difference between bugging a phone and getting call records… or… If these phones were tapped then… it’s over. No need to wait for midterms. Start the impeachment proceedings tomorrow.
    Gawd I hope they actually tapped these phones.

  2. There is mention of transcripts being made, and length of call. I don’t know how this is done without recording the calls…
    The “fourth shoe” is expected from the CIA. I hope they can “top this” …

  8. The US functions no different than Russia at the federal level – a paranoid power-mongering cabal under an unscrupulous martinet and populist poser. Perhaps this is what Obumbles meant when he whispered to Putin about his post 2nd term “flexibility”. Code for implementing soviet-styled surveillance and control systems?
    It is important to note that Bush handed him the tools to do so under the security executive orders he implemented. Everything dirty, underhanded and unconstitutional can now be excused under the many enhanced security orders – not to mention the NDAA which obliterates habeas corpus. I predict the fallout from the AP bugging will be more public than legal – he had every right to do it as per the pseudo-martial security state that has been erected by presidential fiat.

  9. Something doesn’t hang right with this Nunes accusation. If it were true, it would shrink all other scandals to date and one would expect Congressional fireworks at a never before seen magnitude. The Benghazi, AP and IRS, situations have little to moderate impeachment value, however, if there was substantiated truth to the Congressional wiretapping story, it would be, as my saintly ancestors used to say, “time to get the rope”.

  10. None of this from Benghazi, IRS skullduggery, wiretaps, etc is surprising from this administration.
    Occam is right, Bush handed this administration the tools. They have just changed the direction of the intent and are targeting domestic opponents to weaken them and consolidate more control.

  11. Ken,
    I’m going to agree and disagree with you.
    The tools being misused were intended (although in naivety) to protect the American people. Those tools weren’t handed to this administration by Bush though, they were entrusted to them by the American voter (and sadly, twice in a row). One wonders why there isn’t a widespread demand for resignations and impeachments, but then you think of how they got there in the first place.
    President John Adams said “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

  12. I sit corrected, and yes it was the American people that handed these tools to the administration.
    When fear of external enemies gives too much power to any administration there is great danger that some administration will use it against its own people, and it appears that this is happening now.
