President Trump’s assertion that his phones at Trump Tower were tapped last year has been treated as hilarious—and in some circles as beyond contempt. But I can vouch for the fact that extracurricular surveillance does occur, regardless of whether it is officially approved. I was wiretapped in 2011 after taking a phone call in my congressional office from a foreign leader.
That a secret recording had been made of this call was revealed to me by the Washington Times in 2015, a full two years after I left office.
The newspaper’s investigative reporters called me, saying they had obtained a tape of a sensitive telephone conversation that they wanted me to verify.
When I met them at a Chinese restaurant in Washington, they played back audio of a call I had taken in my D.C. congressional office four years earlier.
The call had been from Saif el-Islam Qaddafi, a high-ranking official in Libya’s government and a son of the country’s ruler, Moammar Qaddafi.

“I’m surprised Obama didn’t take Kucinich out after that.
Article is confirmation of Trump’s claims.”
Also infers American intelligence was behind the overthrow of Qaddafi and wanted to know who in congress knew what, and how much, about the plans.
Extrapolating just a teensy bit further, connects to motive for why Benghazi personnel needed to become dead after they were no longer useful.
Good points
NOTE TO DENNIS...
I’m no Fan of yours, and I lived in Cleveland, OH. when you were the ‘Clown of America’
You really need to wake up, Denny. time is not standing still for you...
How did a newspaper get a hold of top secret recording!
“I think that Dennis and Elizabeth should have posts in the Trump administration.”
Even though Kucinich has always been a kooky liberal (though maybe he was pro-life Catholic very early on?), I’ve always kind of admired that he seemed to stick to his principles. He’s not really a statist progressive at all from my reading; for example I don’t get that he would be the guy who would order someone beaten up or killed because they supported traditional marriage, unlike these screaming Berkeley rent-a-mob types. I would never vote for him, but I think you have a point about a man like this being deserving of a role in Trump’s administration.
The neocons would never go for it though - they have more in common with the Berkeley rent-a-mobs.
Kucinich is correct here.
Kucinich is correct here.
She’s as red as her hair and was turned on by how pure his marxism was.
