Eric Holder admits to spying on Congress
American Thinker ^ | 06/07/2013 | Tom Trinko

Posted on 06/07/2013 3:35:38 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Eric Holder was asked, in a meeting about the 2014 DOJ budget, if the DOJ was monitoring phones of members of Congress.

Holder refused to answer, saying that he'd be glad to answer in the appropriate forum. That clearly says that, in fact, the DOJ did monitor phones used by members of Congress. If such monitoring hadn't occurred, then Holder could have just said no.

The Senator who asked the question, Kirk (R-Il), said, "The correct answer would be to say, 'No, we stayed within our lane, and I am assuring you we did not spy on members of Congress.'"

In defense of Holder, if there is an ongoing investigation into a member of Congress due to evidence of treason, there might be justification. However, in that case, he could have replied that any monitoring of phones in the Capitol could be done only in certain cases and that members of Congress would be informed. Holder did not do that.

Maybe the reason Dems are upset is because of all their dirty laundry that could get in the hands of the Republicans

...and I would wager there are bugs in many of the chambers, offices, bathrooms, telephones (pick one) of Justices of the Supreme Court.

Holder and Obama spy on everyone and everything, with the possible exception of violent radical muzzies. They were TOLD about the Tsarnaev’s by the Russians, but they were too busy sifting through yours and my telephone records (and tax returns) to be bothered with that nonsense.

Lessay you burned down a church full of worshippers.

Scary, huh? But suppose further that NOTHING HAPPENED TO YA —it was fully known and on TV.

Would that maybe be A LITTLE emboldening...?

The problems we now have with this INSECT started a VERY LONG TIME AGO.

If the same surveillance were applied to every mosque in the world the problem would be solved immediately.

As cover for Benghazi, this scandal was supposed to dove tail into the last one. They are using it to early as the NSA data grab has more legs.

After impeachment and conviction, both should be waterboarded daily to find out who they really are and who “controls” them. What’s left of them should be deported.
