...........................

The wiretapped "suspected Israeli agent" was working closely with California Billionaire, Haim Saban, a Major Democratic Donor. This whole affair is starting to smell rotten....

We already know from the NYT article Saban gave big money to Pelosi. Were their conversations wiretapped?



Where was the article published?
http://static.cqpolitics.com/harman-3098436-page1.html

Why would the leakers go to a CQ journalist, rather than a major news source? My belief is because they could more easily sell the story they wanted to tell (See below). The CQ article does several things that would not have been permitted at a bigger newspaper. For example, Stein sets up the appearance of a quid pro quo of delivery of a chairmanship, but the wiretapping is vaguely placed a full year before Dems took control of congress- certainly not a solid trade for committing an allegedly illegal act.

---Who are the heroes?

Porter Goss (CIA) and the intelligence agents who just wanted to do the right thing, but were thwarted by "politics"


---Who is the surface target of the article:

Harman- someone with minimal power in the Democratic party today.

Gonzales- someone with no power at all.

Nancy Pelosi and Democrats- There is the clear implication that Pelosi (The world's most powerful woman) is beholden to Israeli spy agencies- that they could twist her arm into appointing Harman as head of Intelligence Commttee.

.......................

Putting all of this together, I think that the article's intended purpose can be surmised:

Warning: Do not fuck with the CIA

I think this is a warning shot to Dem leaders in a position to go after CIA/NSA for prosecutions. Harman is chump change, with no major leadership positions. But how many existing Dem leaders got on the phone with Haim Saban, or someone connected with him and the subject of a wiretap? How many agreed to do something or other, that can now be characterized as Congressman xxx agreed to do xxx for Israeli spy?

1. We'll never hear the whole truth.

It will never come out; too many Democratic politicians are involved and corrupted.
