CYB with National Security

This administration's stonewalling is now, "If you get too close to questioning us, we will just say you don't have security clearance to proceed any further. Na-nah, na-nah, nah-nah!"

This happened today to the warrantless wiretapping investigations initiated by DOJ at the behest of Congress.

A few days back, Russell Tice the ex-NSA whistleblower who supposedly tipped off the papers about the warrantless wiretaps, was frustrated from even speaking to Congressional committees by NSA using this same dastardly ploy with an even more ironical touch -- Congressional committees that oversee the NSA, were themselves denied security clearance.

No clearance, no investigation, as easy as that.

I think the level of frustration amongst staffers yearning to blow the whistle is really high. If the Democrats get control of the House, we're going to see a lot of that steam getting released. Hopefully the criminals in charge do get burnt, and we can put this sorry phase of non-democracy behind us.
