"Don't you know who I am?"

Persons within the Department of Justice whose identities are not yet publicly known apparently broke the law by leaking firearms trace data to Sen. Dianne Feinstein, which she introduced in the Senate Judiciary Committee record in the hearing on Department of Justice oversight earlier this month.
“If I may,” Senator Feinstein requested at the beginning of her questioning of Attorney General Eric Holder (see webcast, at the 69:45 mark), I'd like to put in the record the official firearms trace data from the Department of Justice from 12/1/2006 to 2000...excuse me, 9/30/2011...this is guns [unintelligible] Mexico.”
Left unchallenged and unsaid is how Feinstein obtained the data, which is prohibited by the Tiahrt Amendment from being shared with anyone but law enforcement agencies and prosecutors, and only then in the course of a criminal investigation. That prohibition extends even to Senator Feinstein, as evidenced by the failed attempt earlier this year by Rep. Adam Schiff “to allow Congressional committees to be included on the list of entities to which the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms can disclose part or all of the contents of the Firearms Trace System database.”

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Great post! This guy Codrea is fantastic, too.
Anyone think your medical data will be treated any differently?
DiFi is a member of the Inner Party. Those kinds of laws don’t apply to her.
Of course, the battle axe knew. Let her explain this one.
Special prosecutor and criminal investigation needed.
Spineless GOP simply ignores these. Dems would be all over state media over this.
You can’t win if you don’t fight.
Same way insider trading,racketeering and influence peddling is legal ONLY for politicians in Washington DC ?
DiFi lives in the Pacific Heights sector of San Francisco —I have been to her house.
It’s like a freaking palace —mind blowing. Her husband is a prominent lawyer who works for the ChiComs —I’m serious.
DiFi is by far the most wealthy person in Congress, maybe by a factor of 3 or 4.
” Don’t be ridiculous. The rules are for the little people, silly “
DiFi - one of the “power elite “, where laws for the commoner don’t apply !
She can explain while she is at it all the sweet deals she and her husband made with China. One of these one of these thugs will be going to prison. Will it be Pelosi or this bag first?
Interesting post
Democrat(s) breaking the law!?
Somehow I don't think she'll find it necessary to.
Just like she didn't feel it necessary to explain how her husband's company benefited from all those contracts when she sat on the arms appropriations committee, etc.
"Don't you know who I am?"
You KNOW that.
Codrea ping.
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
It's only temporary.
What comes next for her is permanent.
