Kirk to Holder: Is DOJ spying on Congress? (& SCOTUS?)
Washington Examiner ^ | June 6 | Joel Gehrke

Posted on 06/06/2013 9:34:44 AM PDT by PghBaldy

“With all due respect, Senator, I don’t think this is an appropriate setting for me to discuss [this issue],” Holder replied during a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee hearing when Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., asked if the executive branch was conducting surveillance that would give “unique leverage” over lawmakers.

Kirk replied that “the correct answer would be no, we stayed within our lane, and we did not spy on Members of Congress.”

Holder assured Kirk that “there is no intention to do anything of that nature — that is, to spy on Members of Congress or to spy on the Supreme Court.”

Does he suspect something, does he have someone in the know?

Thank you. I didn’t watch the hearing. Will review when C-Span posts it.

At the time of his crazy opinion that saved ObamaCare by calling it a tax, there were rumors that Roberts’ adopted children were here illegally. It sounds plausible because that’s the Chicago Democrat mafia way.

I’m coming up blank on any possible information on Roberts that would sway him. A fabricated scenario is all I can think of.

Kinda testy, there...as if you’re a homo lover and/or supporter.

Even though I'm quite sure you'd like it to be so, it was merely an observation.

Methinks the lady doth protest too much.

No, it’s an Islamic ring given to him when he was a kid.....this has been reported (but not in the MSM Paetorian Guard many times. Look around on the internet, clearly Arabic writing on it, and common Islamic invocation........................

You are embarrasing yourself with your post and follow up insults. I was just busy reading and had no intention of posting, but you are being too much. Your homosexual obsessions and insults are making your posts sound like you are some supremacist representative.

I enjoy reading the wit and wisdom of many here and I find I can get ahead of the news curve here. With you I feel like I am reading a poorly behaved ten year old with your last couple of posts. They are some of the most UN-Free Republic type posts I’ read here IMO.

When I worked in Congress three years ago all of our cell phones were through Verizon, so I’d say yes. We now know the NSA knows where members and staff are, who they are with and who they have been calling.

Of course they are - and clearly, they have the goods on Boehner, McCain, Graham, and their ilk.

...and especially Roberts.

Also please note the testimony from IG Horowitz (a former US Attorney himself) who stated that the US Attorneys, including Holder and his Deputies, ARE EXEMPTED from investigation by the IG.

He said Fast and Furious was NOT fully investigated because of this fact.

We are screwed

No we aren't. People are finally beginning to notice what's going on and they're asking questions and pushing back. I'm more hopeful now than I have been in the past five years.

Guilty...that’s how they’ve kept the judiciary and the legislative branch from pursuing Obama for having committed SSN fraud and felony forgery.
