And I mean, listening, not just scanning the metadata?

I guess it's a matter of how paranoid people are going to be about this and what - today, tomorrow, or next month - should Joe Average be DOING? Hiding in a bunker? Running around holding their head with worry?

Or snarking at and namecalling people on messageboards because that's oh-so-activist?

There IS a basis for the OP's question. CakeGrrl Jun 2013 #4

Just a deluded agenda.. or as you say: wishful speculation RobertEarl Jun 2013 #6

The original claim is falling apart already, but stick with the conspiracy theory CakeGrrl Jun 2013 #8

Eh? RobertEarl Jun 2013 #14

What evidence do you have that they're listening to YOU? CakeGrrl Jun 2013 #22

I knew you wouldn't answer RobertEarl Jun 2013 #25

You're funny. CakeGrrl Jun 2013 #30

Or no one will get to him. He can just realize that he made a mistake and fess up to it. n/t Tx4obama Jun 2013 #10

was there a recording of him actually saying that Whisp Jun 2013 #19

I don't know. All I know is that 'he' is the only one saying it and only in that CNET article. Tx4obama Jun 2013 #21

thanks. nt Whisp Jun 2013 #27

Who is that and what did he say? Is that the Subway sandwich guy? Bluenorthwest Jun 2013 #3

The Dem rep from NY, link below Tx4obama Jun 2013 #7

But the man's name is not Jarrod. It is Jerrold. Perhaps you misunderstood? Bluenorthwest Jun 2013 #12

The OP subject line said: 'Jerrod' with an 'e' not Jarrod. I left out the 'L'. I've fixed it. Tx4obama Jun 2013 #15

Yes, that would have been too civil. You've created a rather irksome OP tonight. CakeGrrl Jun 2013 #23

It was too easy for you to libel the wrong name and for others to do the same. Bluenorthwest Jun 2013 #24

I do not know the Subway guy or his name. I did not know I left the 'L' out of his name in the OP Tx4obama Jun 2013 #26

If he does, think it'll look exactly like a hostage video? cherokeeprogressive Jun 2013 #5

Watch for the blinks. AnotherMcIntosh Jun 2013 #33

How long til the BOG creatures try to find a spot under the bus for him next to Snowden MNBrewer Jun 2013 #9

I'm pretty sure this OP indicates that it has already happened. n/t Egalitarian Thug Jun 2013 #16

I am not a member of The BOG. n/t Tx4obama Jun 2013 #18

No, of course not. My mistake. n/t Egalitarian Thug Jun 2013 #20

More likely Muelller will say he misspoke... kentuck Jun 2013 #11

And if it's confirmed what Nadler said, will you admit you were wrong? neverforget Jun 2013 #13

Yes. If there is evidence that he was told that - I will. But so far he is the only source. n/t Tx4obama Jun 2013 #17

This story was shot down fast Life Long Dem Jun 2013 #28

that constitutes being "shot down"? MNBrewer Jun 2013 #29

Nadler isn't really the source. Something he said at a hearing is the source. BlueCheese Jun 2013 #31

If Nadler does walk back his statement, he will be promptly thrown under the bus by DU Cali_Democrat Jun 2013 #32

I don't think he will backtrack. hrmjustin Jun 2013 #34

UPDATE has been addd to the OP. n/t Tx4obama Jun 2013 #35
