I guess that's burgarly w/o breaking and entering. Still don't make it right.

I once had a relationship were they read my journal, not quite a diary and it wasn't locked. It was used against me. those were private thoughts. It definitely change the dynamic of the relationship. Needless to say we are no longer together...

BTW: Stop trolling DU for articles to post.

I never visit the DU site, it tends to crash my computer, I got the story from the Drudge Report. I don't think Drudge has ever been accused of being a liberal. Drudge does not believe in filtering out news he doesn't want to know about and I agree with that philosophy.

When you get a story like this from a legitimate source, you have one of two possible stories. 1) It is true, and will be the next scandal in the news cycle. or 2) The source screwed up big time and is possibly party to a smear against Republicans. Either one is worthy of interest.

Posting this is a heads-up to people who want to stay on top of the debate.

Back to DU for you.

I read the article but I wonder if it has anything to do with the Sen. Shelby (R-AL) investigation?

Where in the FR posting guidelines does it say that legitimate news articles not be posted here, and what authority do you have to order people around here?

Can't debate the argument so you harp on my sign-up date. Isn't that a tactic that liberals and those on the left normally use?

The fact remains that if this was a normal citizen accessed of this the SS and FBI would have came in with weapons drawn. In this case they did not.

Why?

I thought our elected leaders where not supposed to be treated differently under the law. And if pointing out that different standards of justice apply to the most powerful among us makes me, in your mind, a DUer perhaps you need to reexamine/relearn you critical thinking skills. Have a good day!

Committee Democrats learned late last year that their computer access codes were not set up properly and some Republican staffers knew about the glitch and took advantage of it for two years

What this probably means, in non-technical terms, is that their logins were probably something like "patrick.leahy" and they used no password. Anyone with a sixth grade education could "hack" into that.

Hannity was talking about a different memo, though, wasn't he? There are two memo scandals: the juducial nominees memo scandal, and the Intell committee memo scandal. And I can't tell the scandals without a scorecard :)

How about posting editorials, articles and stories from news organizations that provide something of substance, not supposition and maybe, mighta, coulda, sources say, etc, etc.

Looks like you have your head in the sand. This is a real story, real news. Sometimes the news isn't favorable to the people you favor, but wishing it weren't so doesn't change reality.

Whining and pouting about other people posting the news you wish to suppress doesn't change that, it only makes you look bad. Try to act like an adult here.

I think it's the same memo, but you're right, we need a scorecard. LOL
