Activist Admits To Bugging US Senate Minority Leader
cold fjord writes "Curtis Morrison, co-founder of the Progress Kentucky PAC, which had previous issued an apology over a racially charged tweet about Senator McConnell's wife (former Secretary of Labor, Elaine Chao), has admitted to bugging Senator McConnell. Morrison admitted he was behind the recording and said a grand jury is investigating the situation. "[Assistant] U.S. attorney, Bryan Calhoun, telephoned my attorney yesterday, asking to meet with him next Friday as charges against me are being presented to a grand jury," Morrison wrote on Salon. Morrison writes that after releasing the recording, his personal life took a negative turn. 'I've never doubted that making the recording was ethical.' He also says that he doesn't believe his actions were illegal, but admits he could be prosecuted for them."' Morrison has said that one of his inspirations was Julian Assange. Given the current direction of government activity, he may simply have been trying to build a suitable resume for future federal employment."
Referencing both Fox *and* the Moonie paper?

And he has a right to expose the corruption that exists in our government!
1) Benghazi
2) IRS targeting American citizens (AKA the enemies of the State)
3) Stealing phone records from the AP (because it's important to know who is leaking information, am I right? who gives a shit about freedom of speech/the press)
4) Attorney General Eric Holden
5) Fast and Furious (because those Mexican cartels really needed all those weapons)
6) HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius solicited donations from companies HHS might regulate
7) The General Services Administration in 2010 held an $823,000 training conference in Las Vegas, featuring a clown and a mind readers. Resulted in the resignation of the GSA administrator
8) Republicans charged the Obama administration funded and promoted its poster boy for green energy despite warning signs the company was headed for bankruptcy. The administration also allegedly pressed Solyndra to delay layoff announcements until after the 2010 midterm elections
9) The Justice Department was accused of using a racial double standard in failing to pursue a voter intimidation case against Black Panthers who appeared to be menacing voters at a polling place in 2008 in Philadelphia
10) Obama may have violated the Constitution and both the letter and the spirit of the War Powers Resolution by attacking Libya without Congressional approval
11) Vice President Biden’s office has repeatedly interfered with coverage, including forcing a reporter to wait in a closet, making a reporter delete photos, and editing pool reports
12) President Obama was born in Kenya and doesn't have an authentic United States birth certificate
That doesn't make the current situation any better. Politicians have always been liars and cheats, the difference today is the power of the federal government in our every day lives. The executive branch is routinely and publicly ordering the assassination of US citizens. Granted I'm sure it happened in secret in the past, the fact that it happens openly and routinely now should scare the shit out of all of us.
Since those 3000+ American soldiers volunteered to join the military of their own free will, you should hesitate to assume you know what they would say if they could.
If you have never served in the military (for any country), you should just not assume anything at all in relation to dead soldiers. You literally have no clue.
If you think I voted for Trump because of this post, you're wrong. I voted for Dr. Jill Stein of the Green Party. Again.
