re: #132 KingKenrod

I’m a little skeptical this report means much. I took a look at it and it looks like nothing more than a summary of current actions and requests by lawmakers. Most of it looks like LEXIS-NEXIS results. It’s interesting that Congress asked CRS to report on whether the clandestine taping violated laws, while they did not ask if the actions on the tape violated laws.

That’s because the tapes do not show anyone violating any laws. What they show are people talking — not doing anything illegal.

But taping people without their knowledge or consent is definitely illegal in several states.
