I have a procedural question:

Why would anyone tap Cornel West’s phone? Does he have anything to say privately that he doesn’t already embarrass himself with publicly?

“Why would anyone tap Cornel West’s phone? “

Because he criticized the Dear Leader.

I have another procedural question:

Mr. West, when you ordered your pizza last night, why did you not add the anchovies like you usually do ?

Is this the guy who thought a rap video would get him tenure at Harvard and he got in a snit when Larry Summers told him it wasn’t scholarly?

The only reason to tap that phone is to give the LEOs a humor break.
