George W. Bush speaking about wiretap surveillance methods, April 20, 2004.

As Attorney General Alberto Gonzales prepares for Monday’s hearings, we should keep in mind the president’s 2004 statement about surveillance: “Anytime you hear the United States government talking about a wiretap, it requires—a wiretap requires a court order.” (Hat tip: crooksandliars.com) | video

I’ve tried to be patient and look forward to some sort of justice, but the way it’s going, I’m afraid that may not be possible.  What the purpose was for not swearing in the Attorney General before he gave his talk is very suspicious. 

From being in a family for more than 26 years who joined an Organized Crime system that’s known for being the World Largest Crime System, I know that at the Federal Level, Political Corruption is completely out of control.  You may not know this, but Criminals use “Snooping” or “Wiretapping” as an important function in building profiles.  They generally work off of grand schemes and in the hands of Corrupt Federal Officials, who’s interest is to raid our Treasury, Wiretapping provides a good opportunity to look out for who’s their latest threat.  Also, it offers an opportunity to stay one step ahead of anyone who is trying to end their criminal game.
