Wow. Just saw this. I'm so old that I remember when "Warrentless Wiretaps" were supposedly an impeachable offense. I'm also so old that I remember when "The Paper of Record" revealed national secrets, even being implored not to by the President of the United States, and it was cheered. |

The GOP holds control of all Senate and House oversight committees now. What do you expect them to do about this? |

That's a good question. First of all, this news came to light in the last few months, after the Obama administration was out of office. Secondly, what recourse do they have? Are these prosecutable crimes? |

If it meets the threshold of a warrantless wiretap, it's a felony. |

We can't afford to deal with this, because Obama did it so it's ok - we must stay focused on something far more important than violating the civil rights of every single citizen - we must stay focused on prosecuting Trump for saying hi to a Russian. |

Who cannot afford to deal with this? Mr. Trump's administration? Mr. Session's Justice Department? The GOP controlled House? The GOP controlled Senate? |

If it's true I certainly hope the current administration does something about it. Unfortunately, I suspect they'd rather use it as a precedent than expose and punish it. |

I'm pretty sure Mr. nobel prize can commit as many felonies as he likes. Nobody would ever be dumb enough to go after him, not now. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

+1. The only way I can see this becoming a big issue for Republicans is if they need to distract everybody from something else. |

So....you just dismissed a proven crime committed by Obama, and not only dismissed the democrats from any responsibility, but laid that responsibility on the republicans and then attacked their character.., Sweet. |

That's not what I said at all. I think they should investigate these allegations thoroughly, and if necessary punish whoever is responsible. What Jon and I said was that we don't think they will. Having a go at me for being cynical about politicians of both sides is pretty silly. They have done plenty to earn this cynicism. You'd do well to be a bit more skeptical about the current President. |

I didn't "have a go" at you for being cynical about politicians, I "had a go " at you for placing the responsibility for dealing with this on the republicans, thereby absolving the democrats of any responsibility and your cynicism. |
