Shock Audio, Democrat Congresswoman Leaves Voicemail for Lobbyist Cashb

Breitbart ^ | September 16, 2010 | by Capitol Confidential

My alarm bells went off when she described a project with Homeland Security relocating to the St. Elizabeth's Hospital "compound." What in the hell is DHS doing locating its headquarters in a facility for the "criminally insane"??? This is starting to sound like the Soviet Union!

The place doesn't have a pretty history.

If you can kill and rape (Kennedy / Clinton), what is a little financial malfeasance?

That reminds me of a Lie to Me episode I saw this past season involving coverup of a death that was being linked to a politician.

Addison: That man's death was a tragedy.

Cal Lightman: The kind of tragedy that could kill a political career, unless your name is Kennedy of course.

Andrew Breitbart took a great deal of heat over the big mouth Shirley Sherrod recording.

I am more than just a little anxious to hear how Congressperson Norton and her tax payer funded staff are going to handle this one. It could go like this.

1. Her conversation may have been both recorded and obtained illegally. She can have Andrew Breithart's BIG GOVERNMENT website closed down and have him changed with a misdemeanor.

2. She can bring a civil suit against both him and 'BIG GOVERNMENT' for invasion of her privacy.

3. She can play the 'RACE CARD' supported by the likes of the Reverend Al Sharpton. In which case, where is Tawana Brawley when you need her?

4. All of the above and perhaps much more.

It all depends how much spare time she and the other Democrats have on their collective( I always say Collective when dealing with leftists because it is the only way they can act when it comes to pure evil)hands between now and the first Tuesday in November.

Why doesn’t she donate some of that campaign cash to donate to her favorite left-wing schemes, instead of using taxpayer money?

[wally_bert]

I’m reminded of a skit I saw years ago. The gist of it was if you were in trouble and had a “Kennedy Card”, you walked no matter what.

[AD from SpringBay]

It is only a crime when republicans do it.

[2001convSVT]

Thanks, the old double standard game.

[altair]

Isn't this a crime, a felony?

A misdemeanor according to cited law passages in the article.

So, she's caught red handed committing a crime. I wonder how she'll try to wriggle out of this one?

[altair]

1. Her conversation may have been both recorded and obtained illegally.

The former won't fly. It's a voice mail message. How can one make a voice mail message and NOT expect it to be recorded? The latter, I don't know. From the way the message is redacted, I suspect that the recipient handed over the recording. Whether that makes Breitbart getting his hands on it legal, I don't know.

“cold cash”

I’m sorry but he is still alive and out of jail during his appeal.

[Lurker]

What in the hell is DHS doing locating its headquarters in a facility for the "criminally insane"???

It's called "irony" and there's precious little of it in the world. Enjoy it when you see it.

[2001convSVT]

Yes, if Holder where not in charge it would be popcorn time.

[Lurker]

Unreal.

[RoseofTexas]

Move along, nothing to see here...THE RATS will always triumph no matter what they do...example Rangel and Waters! Enuff said! For some reason they remind me of terrorists, holding our country hostage.

[wmileo]

You have a good set of points on this one. however just because it was recorded on the person's telecommunications message system, it does not mean that Breitbart did not obtain it by having unauthorized access to this and other recordings from the system.

I don't think he was in someones office and heard the recording. He may have legally obtained it directly from the person who was on the receiving end. That is legal as far as my limited knowledge of the law is concerned.

Disgusting swamp critters

[freespirited]

Doesnt matter whether it’s a felony or misdemeanor. No DC jury would convict her of anything.
