RawStory reports Harmon is walking-back the wiretap denials
http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Harman_begins_to_backtrack_denials_of_0422.html

The California Democrat who was allegedly caught on an FBI wiretap promising to aid accused Israeli spies in 2005 has begun walking back her original denials.

Rep. Jane Harman (D-CA) originally denied -- emphatically -- that she had in any way agreed in a plot to get herself appointed chairwoman of the House Intelligence Committee by getting an Israeli agent to work a major California donor to threaten to withhold campaign contributions from then-Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). The call between Harman and the Israeli national was caught on an FBI wiretap as part of a broader Israeli espionage case.

But in an interview on National Public Radio's "All Things Considered," Harman began qualifying her answers under heavy questioning.

"We don't know if there was a phone call," Harman said, backtracking on her previous statements.

Poor Jane. When you swim with sharks and play with the Devil...

2. AND Pelosi's confirming Intelligence went around Gonzo to tell her
...although she doesn't quite recall definitely whether it was FBI or CIA. Regardless, they supposedly were pissed off and made sure she knew. lol
