From Hot Air, quoting an interview between California Congressman Devin Nunes, who sits on the House Ways and Means Committee, and talk show host Hugh Hewitt (emphasis mine):
HH: I don’t trust the Department of Justice on this. Do you, Congressman Nunes?
DN: No, I absolutely do not, especially after this wiretapping incident, essentially, of the House of Representative. I don’t think people are focusing on the right thing when they talk about going after the AP reporters. The big problem that I see is that they actually tapped right where I’m sitting right now, the Cloak Room.
HH: Wait a minute, this is news to me.
DN: The Cloak Room in the House of Representatives.
HH: I have no idea what you’re talking about.
DN: So when they went after the AP reporters, right? Went after all of their phone records, they went after the phone records, including right up here in the House Gallery, right up from where I’m sitting right now. So you have a real separation of powers issue that did this really rise to the level that you would have to get phone records that would, that would most likely include members of Congress, because as you know…
HH: Wow.
DN: …members of Congress talk to the press all the time.

NO. THE AP PHONE RECORDS INCLUDE CALLS MADE TO/FROM CONGRESSMEN.
ReplyDeleteSo... they tapped AP phone calls which included the House of Representatives. In other words, the White House illegally tapped phones at the House of Representatives
DeleteCall records are not a "tap".
ReplyDeleteBut this is still disturbing.
Devin Nunes himself used the word "wiretapping"
DeleteSo that means that the FBI Director of Counter-terrorism openly admitting on the air just a few days ago (late last week) that "Every Digital Communication is Unsecure", i.e., we have ways (of which I can't go into detail) to obtain ALL records of ALL digital communications ... of course! in the name of counter-terrorism. WAKE UP FOLKS
DeleteThis is just Nunes trying to be clever and make it sound like they tapped the House when they did no such thing. If anyone from the House talked to anyone who they were checking into at the AP then the record would show up just as it would show up if they talked to Saudi Arabia. Doesn't mean Saudi Arabia was tapped.
ReplyDeleteThe phones in the Cloak Room of the House of Representatives were tapped. AP is only crying about AP - they don't care who else was tapped.
DeleteIts going deeper than that but don't forget to watch the other hand it'd quicker than the eye
