Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s reelection campaign asked the FBI and the U.S. attorney’s office on Tuesday to investigate how Mother Jones magazine obtained a recording of a February strategy session.
“Senator McConnell’s campaign is working with the FBI and has notified the local U.S. Attorney in Louisville, per FBI request, about these recordings,” McConnell campaign manager Jesse Benton said in a statement. “Obviously a recording device of some kind was placed in Senator McConnell’s campaign office without consent. By whom and how that was accomplished presumably will be the subject of a criminal investigation.”

Nixon did that, but it sounds like some Dem dirty tricks.
Bring on the investigation.
You’d think the Republicans would have figured out long ago that they ‘Rats are spying on them,and using sophisticated equipment to do so.
Remember the cell phone conversations which were intercepted?
Is McConnell nuts or what?
Special prosecuter needs to be appointed.
And Romney’s ‘47%’ comment at a private fundraiser.. Dems are morally bankrupt and cannot be trusted anytime, anywhere. One can only imagine how much of our classified information is being leaked to hostile foreign governments. Do we trust this new regime protecting our most sensitive information? Hell no.
Nixon did it by his own choice. A democrat has committed a criminal act here by bugging McConnell office.
I suspect it might have been someone connected with the Obama Administration attempting to blackmail McConnell.
I would agree.
Maybe its a double agent democrat who is pretending to be a Republican, sort of like a RINO. Is Mitch McConnell is bugging himself?
In McConnell's situation, he should be screaming bloody murder from the steps of the Capitol, not meekly asking the FBI to investigate. He should be showing firery outrage and demanding answers at the top of his lungs. He should call on Harry Reid as Majority Leader to stand with him to denounce the bugging of any Senator's office, and demand that Reid join him in calling for an investigation.

I do remember that.
Boehner chased McDermott through the courts for years and finally won $1 million.
Don't think McConnell's to blame for this one.
And, yes, there are still many Bush holdovers in the FBI who can investigate.
weird how the media, are not thinking this is big news, oh wait we have no media today, we only have a few moderate networks and mostly far left Dem talking point groups
I hope my congressman, John Yarmuth, is up to his eyeballs with in this thing.
I hope and pray the dirty democrat bastards are caught.
And, yes, there are still many Bush holdovers in the FBI who can investigate.
It doesn’t work that way.
If they are ordered not to investigate, there is little they can do about it.
McConnell's got pull. The Senate minority leader does have influence despite rhetoric to the contrary.
Good points.
I guess I’m too cynical and no longer have much faith in many things, and in this case, the integrity of our Justice Dept.
