WHITE HOUSE PHONE LOGS TO IRS

Rep. Stockman requests NSA logs for phone traffic between White House, IRS
Human Events – John Hayward – 6/14/2013

Administration apologists state that we shouldn’t have anything to fear from enhanced phone and online surveillance, if we have nothing to hide.  (The authors of the Fourth Amendment certainly didn’t feel that way, did they?)  Rep. Steve Stockman (R-TX) brilliantly turned this line of thinking against the White House, by asking the House Oversight committee to subpoena the National Security Agency’s phone call metadata for communication between the White House and IRS:

Stockman’s office hand delivered a letter Tuesday afternoon to the Committee’s office.

Here is the full text of Stockman’s letter to House Oversight chair Darrell Issa (R-CA):

Thank you for your ongoing efforts to investigate abuses of civil liberties by employees of the Internal Revenue Service.
These abuses seem to indicate a larger, higher pattern of ideologically-driven harassment of Americans which Congress has an obligation to fully investigate with every tool at our disposal.

Frankly I am disappointed by revelations Obama administration personnel have been less than forward about what they knew and when they knew it.
As you know, recent revelations show the National Security Agency has been keeping an “ongoing, daily” log of every domestic phone call in the United States.
I respectfully request your Committee subpoena the records of every phone call made from all public and private telephones of all IRS personnel to all public and private telephones of all White House personnel.

If President Obama is collecting such information, he certainly would want us to use it.  If he has nothing to hide he has nothing to be afraid of.

READER COMMENT:  "Terrance Brown, 40, is on trial in South Florida for allegedly conspiring with four other men to hijack armored trucks delivering cash to banks in 2010. All have pleaded not guilty. But now Brown has come up with a unique defense: he wants the National Security Agency to turn over his phone records to the court to demonstrate his innocence."

READER COMMENT:  Was the data collected by NSA used by the Obama 2012 Campaign to pinpoint and target the electorate?
