Harman's Phony Call for Transcripts

Comment: In an outrageously disingenuous, phony attempt to appear as a "victim" of U.S. government eavesdropping -- Rep. Jane Harman (D-CA) is "demanding" the release of wiretap transcripts concerning her possible complicity in a conspiracy centering on espionage by agents of Israel against the United States (among other things).

Harman knows the Justice Department will not release any transcripts -- & that is precisely why she is "demanding" it.  A brilliant media strategy.  It's also totally dishonest.

The transcripts won't be released for two very good reasons:
1.  There's an on-going criminal investigation.  Release of any transcripts would/could compromise those efforts and undermine any prosecution.
2.  Other parties to the wiretap have privacy interests that Harman cannot trump or waive.

Harman's "demand" is a fraud.  The Media is not calling her on it.  Ask yourself why.
