I just wanted to note that some bloggers are acting upset that the NSA would wiretap a congressperson. I don’t think the wire was on Harman. She was talking to a person that was suspected of being an agent of Israel and the NSA had a warrant. That tells me Harman just got unlucky.
But here’s the deal. No congressperson should take it upon themselves to tell the Justice Department to go lightly on people that steal our secrets and give them to Israel. Period. That she accepted something of value in return for doing it is almost beside the point. And the idea Alberto Gonzales had that Harman shouldn’t be prosecuted because she was such a useful idiot to the administration tells us all we need to know about her suitability to represent our party. She’s out there justifying the complete nullification of the 4th-Amendment and lobbying on behalf of Israeli spies. She needs to be defeated.
