Agreed. It is a comfort to see them, kind of like visiting the old neighborhood. : )

LOL...[coke up his nose] Matthews did get his clock cleaned.

[Howlin]

save it to your hard drive.....you'll want to see it more than once!

[MarkeyD]

He does it so well you just have to wonder if he really is that stupid, or just misinformed.

[nuffsenuff]

Tucker Carlson is beginning to really piss me off...

[Txsleuth]

bttt

The technology is different.

I know the technology. Again, it's what the definition of "is" is. Wiretapping is generally used in conversation to mean any interception of your telephone conversations. The sections of the United States Code collectively known as "wiretapping laws" cover any such interception of verbal or electronic communications regardless of technicalities, and the include foreign communications. Meese tried to say it's not tapping on a technicality. Clinton still haunts us.

[Jhohanna]

You have to wonder if Matthews is a moron, or is intentionally misrepresenting what Scooter Libby was indicted for.

Yes. :P

[SquirrelKing]

MEESE: Because this was a legitimate, lawful act by the president.

MATTHEWS: Then why keep it secret?

MEESE: Because you don‘t want the enemy to know that you‘re intercepting and surveilling these kinds of conversation.

Geeez! Come on, Chris! Duh...

[RobbyS]

There is no legal term that automatically "covers" all such communication. because it cannot anticipate all invention. What are called loopholes simply exploit this fact of life.

[Samwise]

Can we require everyone in the United States to read this exchange?

BTW, thanks for posting this.

I have literally not watched Chris Matthews in at least 2 years. But last night, after hearing that Ed Meese was going to be a guest, I watched.

Meese was fantastic and I'm so very glad you posted this transcript today.

We have so many of the constantly constipated even on this forum telling us just how illegal the NSA spy program is that it was good to hear yet another Attorney General confirm what most of us know!

[Logical me]

Fantistic. Meese got him good, but Matthews is too brain dead to understand he had his butt whipped.

[i_dont_chat]

Chrissie's mind, such as it is, must be going by now. He's just now getting over a 3rd bout with malaria, after yet another family trip to Africa over Christmas. Why he keeps exposing himself to such a disease is beyond me.

. . . Because his problem is not Malaria?

[doberville]

YOU again! What's with you picking at this 'wiretapping' issue until Bush is equated with Clinton?

Do you have a special need here to debase Bush?

[antiRepublicrat]

There is no legal term that automatically "covers" all such communication. because it cannot anticipate all invention.

Just one law covers "oral communication ... signs, signals, writing, images, sounds, data, or intelligence of any nature" over "wire, radio, electromagnetic, photooptical or photoelectronic" means. It is worded broadly enough to cover everything.

As I said, what "is" is. And you're defending these modern Clintonites.

[Howlin]

bump.

[antiRepublicrat]

What's with you picking at this 'wiretapping' issue until Bush is equated with Clinton?

Bush will never be equated with Clinton, he can't sink that low. But he and his supporters are following the Clinton playbook, and people need to recognize that and call them on it.

Do you have a special need here to debase Bush?

I have a special need to debase politicans who are acting or speaking dishonestly. Bush and his supporters fit that bill sometimes.

Do you have a loyalty to Bush that requires you to defend him when he or his supporters are wrong or dishonest? Do you believe he is more important than this country?

[FlipWilson]

I am quite frankly shocked Matthews allowed Meese on his show. As it pertains to Plame and "Wiretapping" Chrissy's lil ratingless show has been no more than a leftist echo chamber.

Great explanation of this "wire tapping", so-called!! I have been trying to post this for the past month - it is not wire tapping. IT is digital data stream interception - no human being is listening to a conversation or reading an e-mail on the first pass.
