Yes, VDH was being sarcastic.

Don’t Restrict it with “Fisa-Gate” ... that is one tiny facet of OBAMAGATE!

“Not nearly sarcastic enough then...”

Yea, he blew it. You really have to follow VDH to understand that he knows Obama has trashed the Constitution from Day 1...and for the relatively few who do, then the sarcasm is understood.

The scary thing to me is that so many powerful people seem to be involved in the conspiracy.

“Because she was a liar. She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer, she conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the Committee, and the rules of confidentiality.”

Barack Obama was a progressive constitutional lawyer who expressed distrust of the secretive "Deep State." Yet his administration weaponized the IRS and surveilled Associated Press communications and a Fox News journalist for reporting unfavorable news based on supposed leaks.

Also proposed putting "news monitors" in the newsrooms.

FISA-gate may become a more worrisome scandal than either Watergate or Iran-Contra. Why? Because our defense against government wrongdoing -- the press -- is defending such actions, not uncovering them. Liberal and progressive voices are excusing, not airing, the excesses of the DOJ and FBI.

Exactly. The press is the problem and has been for a long time.

This FISA scandal is bigger than Watergate because Watergate did not compromise the leading law enforcement agency of the US government.

Both of them had to surrender their licenses to practice law-—for different reasons. I think it is a lifetime ban, also.
