So, is this Watergate "plumbers" redux?
Are they acting on their own?

Or have they been hired?

1. They were probably hired by FAUX.
Or some elected Repukes.

You know, the bad guys.

And very poor students of history. :dunce:

15. LOL. But do you think they've ever even heard about that?
I'd be willing to bet that they're totally clueless... :eyes:

21. I'd vote yes on stupid and yes again on poor students.

It takes about 5 seconds viewing of any interview of the kid to figure out he's a frat rat born with a silver spoon up his butt. He probably bought all his homework.

He's the kind of two-bit little jerk who gets an estate check from grandma four times a year and had the nerve to pout when his 'rents got him an Excursion for his 16th birthday instead of the tricked out Hummer.

27. Thanks! I think you've got it...
And he wasn't around for Watergate and nobody thought to mention it to him... Or he skipped class that day. :eyes:

17. I think it's very likely.
If they were liberal activists, they'd be looking at long stints in prison. But larval Republicans? I don't think the law applies to them.

6. I'm praying it is. But I'll settle for just the 4 of them dreaming it up on their
own. They're fucked either way. I hope.

12. O'Keefe was a Breitbart employee at the time
Breitbart swears ta gad he had no knowledge of what they were up to.

(and personally I think G. Gordon Liddy would have had these teabuggers for breakfast)

16. Notice how CNN and MSNBC have tiny articles not big headlines
is this the tip of the iceberg? What else have they been trying to wiretap?

Oh, it's a joke. Never mind.

I can't believe 4 amateur clowns could EVER interest the CIA.

They're on a race to the very bottom. Either way it's the song that remains the same
