Sheesh, back away from that Reynolds Wrap.
There is no time that's "right" to get caught poking through a third party's phone records without a warrant. It sounds crazy and out of control, especially right next to the IRS stories. And Democrats can't even feel safe that bad things only happen to those who disobey King Zippy. That creeped-out feeling is what people will take away from this. Nobody's going to think about the details at some future date. There's too much negative info in the air. Regardless of the ultimate reason, this is not good for the bummer, because it adds to the intensity of a negative impression. That doesn't erase well.
And where are you left hanging when Eric the red Holder finds there was a warrant and the media pound the dumbed down public with assertions of republicant witch hunts when the warrants were aimed at catch a leaker aiding ‘the enemy’? Stuff your tinfoil where the sun don’t shine if you think the democrips are not capable of feeding a ‘scandal’ to the eager beavers. Monica was a reality but that ‘scandal’ was fed as a distraction from real treasonous acts involving the chicoms, or don’t you remmber those days?
