13. Let These Cases Move Forward...
As the article states...if there no crime, then they will be cleared in court. Seems AT&T and Verizon don't quite feel that way...it'd be interesting to learn why. Part of this could happen in an upcoming trial that must move forward...compell company execs and find out why they gave up confidential information and who ordered it. Then if there's a case to move forward, then the company can have "immunity"...they can share the stand with those in this criminal regime that broke the law and constitution. In the end, the phone companies won't lose a dime...it'll all be government money that pays off people.

Hoyer is playing both sides of the fence on this thing. I think he sees how FISA has energized his caucus and hasn't hurt the party's chance in November...maybe that's enough to let him kick this can past the elections and let the cases move forward. However, I am far from confident this will happen. It'll be up to a lot of us to work the phones and put the pressure on the congresscritters again.
