The National Security Agency briefed Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) “a few years ago” that they had wiretapped Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.), Pelosi revealed Wednesday.Nice. Pelosi knew, and the NSA just may have answered a couple of my ten questions: Pelosi herself knew about the wiretap (which explains why Harman was passed over for chair), and they were wiretapping Harman (a sitting member of Congress) and not the person she was talking to.But Pelosi said she was not told what federal eavesdroppers picked up on the call — and never alerted Harman to it.
“It was not my position to raise it with Jane Harman,” Pelosi told reporters at the Christian Science Monitor lunch. “In fact, I didn’t even know if what they were talking about was real. All they said was that she was wiretapped.”
Interesting.
