Would You Believe The Administration Got Phone Records of The House Of Representatives?

That’s the revelation made by California Congressman Devin Nunes, who sits on the House Ways And Means Committee on Hugh Hewitt’s Show Wednesday night. Here’s the key part of that transcript:

HH: The idea that this might be a Geithner-Axelrod plan, and by that, the sort of intimation, Henry II style, will no one rid me of this turbulent priest, will no one rid me of these turbulent Tea Parties, that might have just been a hint, a shift of an eyebrow, a change in the tone of voice. That’s going to take a long time to get to. I don’t trust the Department of Justice on this. Do you, Congressman Nunes?

DN: No, I absolutely do not, especially after this wiretapping incident, essentially, of the House of Representative. I don’t think people are focusing on the right thing when they talk about going after the AP reporters. The big problem that I see is that they actually tapped right where I’m sitting right now, the Cloak Room.

Honest question: Does anyone know if Devin Nunes is a straight shooter, or prone to exaggeration or flights of fancy? I don’t recall ever hearing of the guy.

Not if a court approves it. How else would you know who is leaking
without recording the conversation, either with a wire or recording
phone conversation? What use would only phone logs provide?

Another freaking scandel ...or is this part of the AP records incident....is the question.

Before we know it, we'll find out the Obama Administration was using the National Security Agency and its highly-classified electronic spying capabilities against any political opposition here in the USA. That might be the straw that breaks the camel's back, to use the old saying.

You are amongst the FReepers whose instincts I trust the most.

What do you make of this avalanche of scandals out of nowhere?

(besides a brooch, hat or pterodactyl, I mean)

Thanks for this servo-—Bath-House Barry is the MASCOT of the White House...Valerie Jarrett is the handler.

Democrats went nuts when Manuel Miranda lifted Jay Rockefeller's "pull the trigger' memo from a shared open server, to the point where Orrin Hatch had him fired.

They weren't too happy with the FBI raiding Jefferson's office, either.

-PJ What will the Democrats say about this?

Long time no see!

It’s not on Drudge... has this been verified?

This administration may be in the process of purging their shoe closet, given we were waiting for the next shoe to drop:

via NPR:

“It was a very large number of records that were obtained, including phone records from Hartford, New York, Washington, from the U.S. House of Representatives and elsewhere where AP has bureaus. It included home and cellphone numbers from a number of AP reporters,” Schulz says."

ff 01:58 in PBS video:

Quote: Holder suggested the focus is on government officials who did the leaking, more than on reporters.

via Ulstermanreport

Quote: "So please now consider this reader – the Attorney General of the United States of America publicly informs the media that there was such a significant threat to American security that it required the Department of Justice to revoke the First Amendment rights of a significant media source. And yet, despite that significant threat to American security, the White House then indicates Barack Obama HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THAT THREAT or the attempt to remedy that threat. That he in fact just learned of his own Department of Justice’s potentially illegal actions against the Associated Press."

If ? and I say with a big IF ! IF it can be proven would this also have anything to do with the failed gun grabbing legislation that Congress tried to pass ?

[txhurl]

Could it be this easy?

[penelopesire]

Please keep me pinged. We have tornadoes moving through area right now. prayers needed for Granbury Texas People. Fatalities being reported on scanner.

[RC one]

I like POSTUS better I think.

[JerseyDvl]

Is there any way you source that quote? I can’t believe she said that publicly, no offense.

[Blood of Tyrants]

It gets worse and worse. How much will the liberals stand for?

Fingers are going to really snap loudly within the Alphabets and many other news services.
