Even more so than the IRS people?
WOW, he must really be mad...
McConnell is another coward.

How about 5 years after Nadil Hasan is finally tried and convicted of HIS crime?
They may have been created for that purpose, but they're not being used for that purpose.
McConnell also busy selling the US out on amnesty.
Mitch! I’d like O and Holder prosecuted also but you and Boehner lack the guts to do it, or even ask for it. Cowards!
Telling the truth is treason. Ask Sen. Wyden.
Of course, he’s a traitor to the elites.
I’d also like to see criminal negligence prosecution of those who KNEW Nadil Hasan was communicating with Al Qaeda, making death threats against non-muslims, etc. and DID NOTHING in the name of “diversity in having jihadists serving opening in the ranks of the US military”.
Well I want DC criminals prosecuted to the furtherest extent of the law. Plenty of you clowns need to be indicted.
FUMM
McConnell and the rest of both houses that call themselves Republicans need to get off their dead asses and fight this spy hole in Utah project to the death! Snowden may be a hero. Stop wasting your time in attempts to jail him for life. You have much more important things to do with this gangster, socialist White House filled with rats.
Furthermore, there shouldn’t be any palavering around with immigration! Get the illegals the hell out of my country! It’s that simple you heads in the sand ostriches!
Due to the surveillance the NSA probably has some serious dirt on all of these a-holes ... think they’re going to rock the boat? Same goes for Obama.
FUMM, you toothless old wimp!! I want the criminal usurpers in the GOVERNMENT prosecuted to the full extent of the constitution!! Run ‘em out on a rail!!
A proven lie...FISA was just a rubber stamp for DOJ/FBI.
I’d make a suggestion but someone would show up at my door before I even finished typing.
