We have been given a copy of that message. The audio is below.

I was, frankly, uh, uh, surprised to see that we dont have a record, so far as I can tell, of your having given to me despite my uh, long and deep uh, work.
At least she is admitting she is screwing us!

OK, now I have, and it is a bit over-the-top, but I think the congresscritter was vague enough in what she was saying to prevent this from being used in any legal proceedings. She can always claim she was “misunderstood”.
Actually, I am sure that this type of call is pretty common on both sides of the isle.
Most politicians are crooks anyhow.

She’ll get a small fine and a landslide re-election return this Nov.
Thus is life in Obamaland.

If she made it from Fed Property (her office) it would be a crime. Wonder if Breitbart will dribble a little each day like he did with Acorn — maybe he has more proof.

Nothing will happen from this because it is what most members of congress do all day every day - call to ask for contributions.
To: ipa2tf
If she made this call from her office, she’s in trouble. I believe it’s illegal to do such things from government property on government phones.

This picture is pretty dull. I'm sure FReepers can improve it.
