Looks like old Baghdad Jim has got his tit in the wringer.
I wish no person ill will, but this is a case of one bringing it on themselves. Pay up Jim.

Do you suppose USA Today will do a big expose on this breach of privacy rights? Didn't think so...
Surely a fund raiser to pay a criminal fine is taxable income.
I thought it was illegal for public servants to solicit donations for anything except campaign money.
Didn't the Clintoons learn that when they tried to establish a fund to pay their legal expenses over Whitewater?
Oh come on..when are you gonna realize that laws don't apply to lefties?;))
Thanks for posting. I didn't know McDermott was a psychiatrist in addition to being a perfect example of a Democratic Crime Syndicate member.
I would have voted for a bake sale.
I would love for the " innocent couple " that " just happened " to have monitoring equipment in their car to also be embroiled in the lawsuit . This is blatant lawbreaking that should result in lengthy jail terms for the couple and slimeball McDermott .
Democrats are allowed to engage in wiretapping.
This couldn't have happened to a more deserving person than Baghdad Jim.
That's right , forgive my ignorance . They do it for the greater good .....
I can't believe this CROOK has been allowed to drag this out for nine years. It's not like he's gone anywhere!
I can't see how he can argue he way out of this. Didn't the couple who did the intercept get convicted of it?
"The appeals court ordered McDermott to pay Boehner about $700,000 — $60,000 in damages and more than $600,000 in legal costs."
Imagine, if we had had vultures of this sort lo these many years there would be nary a bone left to earth's sore sentence nor fossil to be found in sere salted sea.
