Snow responds to wiretapping subpoenas.
Yesterday, the Senate Judiciary Committee issued subpoenas for documents related to the White House’s warrantless surveillance program. Today, White House spokesperson Tony Snow called the subpoenas “outrageous” and alleged that Congress was kept “fully informed all along the route:”
SNOW: [L]et’s just say it’s an outrageous request. What you have is a program that was briefed to members of Congress. Members of Congress were kept fully informed all along the route, as well as on the legal justifications and the legal findings behind them. … it is pretty clear that, again, members of Congress here are engaged in an attempt…to try to do what they can to make life difficult for the White House.
Snow’s claim is false. As ThinkProgress has noted, both former senator Bob Graham, who was chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, and his successor Jay Rockefeller (D-WV), said the briefings were inadequate and did not convey that the Bush administration would “abandon the FISA process and utilize warrantless intercepts of conversations.”

And don’t forget that some of those few that were briefed were told they’d be charged with leaking classified material if they said anything.
June 28th, 2007 at 3:01 pm“Snow is lying.”
duh!!!
June 28th, 2007 at 3:03 pm“Snow is lying.” Obviously, one of those self-evident truths my boy Jefferson wrote about…
June 28th, 2007 at 3:04 pmQuestion to Tony Snow:
1/Have you been fully briefed on this program?
2/If not, tell us who’s telling YOU that Congress was fully briefed. Names please.
My guess is the answer to #2 is either Addington or Rove.
June 28th, 2007 at 3:05 pmWhy doesn’t anyone in the press corp call Snow on his lies?
June 28th, 2007 at 3:05 pmGuess this has Rover very nervous as he took out the Junior Varsity (Katie Couric Jr. Perino) and put back in the All Star Bullsh!t slinger, ol’ Tony the Tiger! WOO HOO!
June 28th, 2007 at 3:07 pmWhats it like to Lie all day?
If I lied so much, I would get sick.
Oh, wait a minute, Tony was sick a few months ago….
The US of A is a bizarre place right now. The administration that is running the White House is full of crooks, yet I don’t believe one of them, the Big 3 Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld , will face any punishment for their actions.
June 28th, 2007 at 3:07 pmThe Bush/Cheney administration have turned the White House into a lie factory. Can anyone point out anything that has not been proven to be false that comes from these treasonous, lying, self-serving, un-American fascists?
June 28th, 2007 at 3:08 pm“Snow is lying.”
Thank you thank you thank you TP!!!!! I cannot even begin to tell you how happy I am to hear you call it like it like it IS! The subject of lying has been tiptoed around for years by journalists of all stripes.
Thank you a thousand times thank you.
June 28th, 2007 at 3:09 pmGod, I don’t know who’s worse, Tony Snowjob or Danairhead Perino.
How can people lie, lie, lie all the time? And how do they do it with such aplumb and with a straight face.
I suppose it’s all for the cause. Their cause to screw as many Americans as they can in as short a period of time for as long a period of time as possible.
Looks like it’s going to take another depression and another FDR to have the balls to fix it. I wonder how many years that will go on and how many millions of Americans are going to suffer.
Impeach! Try! THEN OFF TO THE HAGUE!
June 28th, 2007 at 3:12 pmTony Snow called the subpoenas “outrageousâ€, I would call the crimes committed by Bush and Cheney as “outrageous”.
Come on you “supposed to be Journalists” call him on his BS.
Bush is gonna stall till his plot for the next “Inside Job” Terrorist attack happens.
June 28th, 2007 at 3:12 pmI don’t know how the White House keeps expecting us to eat this stuff up? The congress is right with the subpoena and they should keep doing it till Cheney finally comes out under his desk!
June 28th, 2007 at 3:14 pmIf the Senators were briefed all along, why keep the documents secret from them? Funny time to pick a fight, unless they are hiding something.
June 28th, 2007 at 3:15 pmTony,
You are going to die of CANCER soon. I’m sorry for that, but since you CLAIM to be a “christian”, tell me:
DON’T YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR IMMORTAL SOUL?
God SEES and HEARS you LYING to the American Public about your war criminal bosses and the EVIL they have done.
May God have MERCY on your soul, Tony….
June 28th, 2007 at 3:15 pmPut Perino back up there. At least her lies come with a little eye candy.
June 28th, 2007 at 3:16 pmWhat a day for the Supreme Court. Pardoned a man who shot his inlaws in front of his kids, gutted Brown vs. Board of Ed., and - did anyone catch this? Made price fixing legal.
Lost: “Usa” - Red, white and blue mix, fiesty, doesn’t like to be fenced in, answers to “land of the free.” Call 555-1212 if found…
June 28th, 2007 at 3:28 pmSomehow I think he’s spinning and sound biting.
June 28th, 2007 at 3:29 pmI reserve the word “outrageous” for things like warrantless wiretapping, secret prisons, torture, suspension of habaes corpus…things like that.
June 28th, 2007 at 3:34 pmSnowflake is outraged by this outrageous “request.”

But, I can’t find that in the post. All I see is TP saying “Snow’s claim is false.”
Am I blind or did TP back off on the whole “calling it like it is” thingy?

We have some very heavy differences in views Mr. BGTH, but your right in calling for Bush’s ouster. A genuine Republican president is supposed to be more compassionate than that.

Sing along folks, while our country dies.
America (My Country, ‘Tis of Thee)
Oh how I mourn for thee
Once land of liberty, your loss so stings
Land where my father died
Once there was so much pride
Now there is only strife,
Bring freedom back to my life, and I will sing!
Great land I cry for thee
Once noble and so free, how did we stray?
We used to compromise
Now all they do is lie
How many more will die before they pay?

Tony Snow standing out there and LYING for OTHERS still makes HIM
a LIAR. He DOESN’T HAVE TO DO IT, but he DOES, so he is a LIAR.
And LYING is a SIN, especially to protect these WAR CRIMINALS.
And HE is the one who has to answer to God, NOT those he LIED for, and it is HIS soul in jeapordy.
I don’t watch fox PROPAGANDA, so I wouldn’t know, but if he criticized Bush, fox would have FIRED him, so I don’t believe he did.
Show PROOF, IF you have any…
June 28th, 2007 at 4:00 pmIf congress were fully briefed, then the subpoena will turn up all of the information supplied to congress already - right Mr. Snow? So why again are you afraid, if the briefing were full? Poor st*pid little GOP talking heads… So irrational, so hysterical, so pathetic, so whiny…
June 28th, 2007 at 4:01 pmTony is doing a fine job. He’s working hard to help my disciple, Dick Cheney. Please give Tony some kudo’s for his hard work in furthering my cause.
June 28th, 2007 at 4:01 pmso, next time I get a subpoena, I can just tell everybody how outrageous it is?
Great! anybody want to have a beer with me?
June 28th, 2007 at 4:03 pmtechnically…
Snow is not lying because Dick is a member of congress right? (I know, I know that depends on what day it is) and presumably, he was briefed.
June 28th, 2007 at 4:04 pmIs it my imagination or does Snowjob only tell the truth when he doesn’t open his mouth?
June 28th, 2007 at 4:08 pmSo why does the administration block the ‘outrageous request’ for information you say is already well known?

Well, surely, Mr. BGTH. Thinkprogress.org, the very site you post, documented that extensive criticism.

Hell only has so many parking spaces. Are you sure that Tony Snow should be one of the top 10 candidates?
June 28th, 2007 at 4:10 pmSo, in other words, we are suppose to believe Sen. Graham’s and Rockefeller’s word over Tony Snow’s and the White House, right?
How the f$#@ck can the idiots that run TP claim that Tony Snow is lying because Sen. Graham and Rockefeller say so?
stupid idiot, complete morons that run TP. Pathetic fools.
can’t these idiots that run TP see that is all about partisan politics. Poor fools, they would believe Hitler himself if he claimed that Bush and his administration are lying.
bunch of Libtards that run this site.
June 28th, 2007 at 4:11 pmPay no heed to the man behind the podium. The pathetic part of all this: he believes the lies that spew out of his mouth. No matter how long, how loud, Tony, it does not make it so. a lie is a lie is a lie.
June 28th, 2007 at 4:12 pmTony- try some medical marijuana. You’ll feel better, and it may do something to improve your ability to be a sentient being.
Barring that, I wouldn’t mind a bit if your cancer returns. Pat Robertson should be more than happy to explain that god gave you the cancer because he DOESN’T LIKE YOU, either.
(I’m a cancer surviver)
June 28th, 2007 at 4:15 pm“Snow’s claim is false.” Of course - Tony is representing a lying, cheating, violent, corrupt regime. His claims will ALWAYS be false!
June 28th, 2007 at 4:20 pmSnowflake’s rationale is totally irrelevant and bogus this time (so what else is new??). He’s claiming the “legality” of the “illegal wiretapping” based on the fact that some members of congress knew about it. How is that based in law, BTW?
In fact, the fact that congress was aware of “some” of it is entirely irrelevant to the case. Bush has broken existing federal law (see United States vs. Nixon) and needs to be swiftly impeached and put out of office.
Whether anyone else was aware of some of what he was illegally doing certainly doesn’t make it legal in any way. It’s highly illegal and he needs to be adequately punished for breaking federal law.
June 28th, 2007 at 4:23 pmPay no heed to the man behind the podium. The pathetic part of all this: he believes the lies that spew out of his mouth. No matter how long, how loud, Tony, it does not make it so. a lie is a lie is a lie.

June 28th, 2007 at 4:25 pmIt’s like someone breaking the law and telling another about what he’s done. How does that make his criminality any less criminal?
These snowjobs have really gone ’round the bend in their attempt to spin this one and have outdone themselves.
How does telling someone else that what you are doing is illegal make it legal? It doesn’t matter to whom he told what….it’s still highly illegal and criminal….no more/no less for having told another about it.
Let’s stick to the letter of the law and impeach as required here.
June 28th, 2007 at 4:25 pmThis is one of Snowflake’s typical “circle jerks”, folks. He enjoys engaging in mental masturbation….and lying out of both sides of his twisted mouth…..what a joke! Does Snowjob really think that anyone is listening to his drivel? Does Snowflake Tony really think that anyone believes that anything he spews is more than typical detritus?? I guess his chemo has affected the synaptic activity in his brain….
June 28th, 2007 at 4:27 pmTony Snow On President Bush: ‘An Embarrassment,’ ‘Impotent,’ ‘Doesn’t Seem To Mean What He Says’
Yeah, maybe Snow SAID it, but if that is the ONLY thing you have, it is a flash, AND a HYPOCRISY,
since what Tony SAYS now DESCRIBES HIMSELF.
And he IS a LIAR, regardless if he is LYING for SOMEONE ELSE.
The law says if YOU cover up for a CRIMINAL, YOU are aiding & abetting that criminal, which is a CRIME…
Too bad for Tony.
Not only “party over COUNTRY”, but “party over IMMORTAL SOUL”
June 28th, 2007 at 4:30 pmNEXT!!! Stay tuned because tomorrow there’s sure to be more tainted bull$hit erupting from Snowjob’s contaminated orifice! He’s become the laughinstock of this country. It’s clear that every pore, every cell in this man’s body is corrupted, tainted, and contaminated and becoming totally necrotic.

June 28th, 2007 at 4:33 pm#56 Ya know…everything to which you alluded in your post happens to be “highly illegal” and criminal under Federal standards of law. Clinton and Nixon were impeached for one lie - the number of known lies (high crimes) against this president is overwhelming at this point.

Regardless of whom tells him to obstruct justice via overt lies, he’s complicit if he does it. Let’s press for bringing charges against Snowflake as well. Just because someone suggests that you lie to defraud the public still sucks you into complicity in the harm done by the lie itself.

Ya know how you Republicans love to say “But Clinton did it too?”
Pretty much the reason why Pelosi isn’t impeaching Bush. When the Democrats win in the next elections, on the back of absolutely noone wanting to be caught dead voting Republican (These scandals are just going to keep on coming, and they are going to get worse, and worse, and worse…) they are going to want to do even worse things then Bush, and have the ability to point back one president and say “But GW Bush did it too.”
Its why you don’t let them set precedents and why you need more then two parties in contention in 2008.

In 1776 a group of men sat at a table to sign their death warrant. It was the Declaration Of Independence. Treason against England. They did so because the King of England would not listen to the colonies.
WE are the new colonies. The majority of Americans who have spoken.We have listened to the splitting of hairs and legal wragglings of Bush and Cheney and their spokepersons. They seem to forget that there were no splitting of hairs in the Declaration or the Consititution. Yet, they wrap themselves in the cloak of desperate men as Englands wealthy elite did. Splitting Hairs

June 28th, 2007 at 5:10 pmConservatron
Not made up. Pretty damn obvious. Bush’s military tribunals were ruled invalid by the American supreme court, that made them illegal. Bush’s wiretaps were done without a warrant (BTB: The required warrant could have been gotten up to 3 days AFTER listening in began, hardly onerous) and were thus illegal.
Further, what happens to a normal personw when they get a subpeona and they choose to ignore it? Yep, that’s a crime too.
Pelosi and the Democrats have AMPLE grounds for impeachment and conviction, the trouble is, they want to do exactly the same things as Bush is doing now. They want their president to have absolute power, and the best way for them to do that is to use Bush to generate a precedent for that power.
By accepting that a unpopular Republican President with under two years left in office, as being above the law, they can use the powers he grabbed when a more popular Democrat takes over. The Republican party is now for all intents and purposes dead, it is identified with corruption, incompetence and stupidity. The first two are a result of K Street and the 6 years the Republicans held all three houses, the last is due to the remaining 30 percenters.
June 28th, 2007 at 5:11 pm“Snow’s claim is false.”
TP - do I need to tell you how disappointed I am in you now?! What happened to:
“Snow is lying”?!
Did you get a call from the WH or something?
Geez…How are we going to get anywhere if we’re so freaking wimpy that we can’t even call out a liar?
June 28th, 2007 at 5:12 pm“Yeah, maybe Snow SAID it, but if that is the ONLY thing you have, it is a flash, AND a HYPOCRISY,”
It’s not the only thing that’s there, you illiterate fool! TP covered it extensive, and they even provide a link within the article to coverage of further statements.
If you can’t accept that, then you’ve lost all credibility.
June 28th, 2007 at 5:13 pmIf Conservatron posted 71:
I am afraid that I can only conclude that you are the product of your sister, and mother being one in the same person. Being stupid does not make name calling on your part suddenly a brilliant argument.
As to your claim that Clinton did indeed do it too:
1: Irrelevant. My point is that neither the Democrats nor the Republicans should be in power if they are abusing that power or allowing a precedent whereby they can abuse that power.
2: 9 times out of 10, it is simply untrue. The worst the Republicans can honestly say about the guy is that he lied about getting a blowjob. Hardly a stirring indictment of Clinton’s time as president.
June 28th, 2007 at 5:36 pmSnow is making assertions not supported by evidence. If there is evidence, let’s see it. But WH refuses.
Adverse inference: The President’s original admission of warrantless interrogations/surveillance is valid; and evidence of criminal activity.
Reynolds and NIxon are precedents which prohibit classification of illegal activity behind a claim of privilege or state secrets. Legal counsel like Clements who appear to have been engaged in illegal activity, and not stopping it, could be disbarred for not having resigned. Snow’s denials are fleeting, without merit, and not supported by the Preident’s fatal admissions to the contrary.
June 28th, 2007 at 5:54 pmTony McSnowjob the White House Spokes Liar at it again. He lied on FAUXNOIZ and he lies now….he is what you can call a liar.
June 28th, 2007 at 6:27 pmWiretapping American citizens without a warrant is and has always been a crime. There is no executive privilege in criminal actions. Dubya and Cheney and the rest of the thugs in the crime family are going down this time.

Funny, Nazi azzhole-licker of TRAITOR Bush the MURDERER coxucker PUNK.
The TRUTH is that Bush and Cheney are TRAITORS to the USA, and need to be tried, convicted, and HANGED (or WHATEVER they do to TRAITORS like them and YOU).
Your attacks on ME are the words of a Nazi azzhole-licker of unamerican TRAITOR coxucker PUNKS like Bush.
They mean NOTHING.
What DOES mean something is that EVEN IF BUSH AND CHENEY don’t get their trials in THIS LIFETIME,
God HEARS their LIES and SEES the EVIL, MURDEROUS ACTS THAT THEY HAVE COMMITTED.
And by “christian” standards,
THEY WILL BURN IN HELL FOR ETERNITY.
Have a NICE ETERNAL DAMNATION, Nazi azzhole-licker of Bush.
June 28th, 2007 at 8:51 pmAND Tony Snow is STILL a LIAR, even if he LIES for TRAITORS like Bush and Cheney.
And Tony IS going to DIE soon. Just LOOK at him, if you can…
Too BAD he doesn’t care about his IMMORTAL SOUL.
Just like TRAITORS Bush and Cheney.
Oh well, some NEED to be in hell, and they CERTAINLY do…

Insignificant piece of shit…or 26%er.
June 28th, 2007 at 9:05 pmI can assure you that with a year and a half left in President Bush’s presidency the Democrats will not impeach Bush on charges that left wing lunatics like you have made up.
try again son.

Fact: In July 2006 it was revealed that the Office of Professional Responsibility in the Justice Department — the office “responsible for investigating allegations of misconduct involving Department attorneys” — repeatedly attempted to investigate whether DOJ lawyers acted improperly concerning their role in the President’s warrantless eavesdropping program, but finally stopped their investigation because the President refused to give them the security clearances they needed to conduct the investigation.
Yet the President had no problem giving clearance to individuals, some who where civilians, when he wanted to find out who had leaked information regarding the warrantless wiretapping program to the public.
Bush has repeatedly claimed that the warrantless wiretapping program is legal. Yet he continues to hide (what is he afraid of?) and block any attempts at oversight. And spare me the argument that Bush made when he said that Congress was advised of the program. I didn’t know that Congress was made up of 8 members.
From recent testimony, it appears that not everyone in the administration was going along with this program. Until recently, Bush would have us believe that there was no disagreement. Had the investigation by the OPR been allowed to proceed, they surely would have found this out. However, up until the Democrats regained oversight power, the rubber-stamp Congress didn’t give a damn what this “president” did, despite members of the Republican party, among them Arlen Specter and Lindsey Graham, announcing that, yes, the warrantless wiretapping program was against the law and called for investigations yet ending up kissing Bush’s ass anyway.
Fact: President Bush says his warrantless wiretapping program, which involves communication in which one end of the call is in a foreign country, is a valid program because the NSA does not have enough time to go to the FISA court for a warrant. Mr. Bush says going to the FISA court would slow down the process of tracking terrorists and that they may get away.
However, Mr. Bush says that for domestic to domestic calls, he still goes to the FISA court.
So in other words, in one situation (domestic-international call), we don’t have time to go to FISA. But in another situation (domestic-domestic call), which could also involve one terrorist talking to another, Bush does go to FISA. Thus in one situation, he is “concerned” about time constraints, and in the other he is not. Bush’s rationale for avoiding the FISA court is blown to hell.
Made up charges? Bah!
June 28th, 2007 at 10:09 pmI’m reposting this from the other day. Maybe our friend Conservatron will see it here. He/she/it didn’t bother to respond earlier. I’m interested in seeing what that individual has to say…besides, someone has got to report CNN to the FBI for warning terrorists that we are watching them.
Re: and classified information being mishandled? do you not see the huge hypocrisy on this made up non-scandal?
The left loves giving up State secrets, they love it. Look how the left wing New York Times, Washington Post love reporting on Top Secret programs used by the government to protect us.

Wiretapping the enemy was reported to the world long before the NYT reported on it, fool. Not a whimper from Bush or the Repubs in Congress. Here:
Go to CNN.com, search their archives for “Patriot Act,†go to page 38 of the results, and read the article dated 10/8/01 entitled “PC World poll highlights privacy concerns.†Monitoring the communications of the terrorists is hardly a national secret. Let me quote from that article which references a PC World poll:
Are you going to be the first to report CNN and the author of this article to the FBI for helping the enemy? No? I’ve tried several times to get your idiot troll friends to do this, but nobody has bothered. You can find the number to your local FBI field office on their web site.

Cook your polls, then. It’s good that you’re all warm and toasty inside, even if that’s based on a false premise.
Stupid hippie.
June 29th, 2007 at 8:41 am“The TRUTH is that Bush and Cheney are TRAITORS to the USA, and need to be tried, convicted, and HANGED (or WHATEVER they do to TRAITORS like them and YOU).”
NOPE, you’re the Islamo-Stalinist Muslim adorer, perhaps you should spend some quality time with them. Again, you’re the #1 candidate to spend an eternity in hell, why seek to bring others down to your level? You should be on your own, buddy.
“Your attacks on ME are the words of a Nazi azzhole-licker of unamerican TRAITOR coxucker PUNKS like Bush. They mean NOTHING.”
They carry infinite meaning, actually. You’re essentially a bat out of hell, so you don’t expect to be dipped in chocolate on ANY thread - liberal or conservative - do you?
“What DOES mean something is that EVEN IF BUSH AND CHENEY don’t get their trials in THIS LIFETIME, God HEARS their LIES and SEES the EVIL, MURDEROUS ACTS THAT THEY HAVE COMMITTED.”
Communism has probably caused more deaths. Ever speak out against that? Saddam was more of an enemy than our President ever will be. Perhaps you should make a better effort to respect our commander-in-chief.
“Have a NICE ETERNAL DAMNATION, Nazi azzhole-licker of Bush.”
You advocate for terrorist Muslims, yet I am the candidate for hell? Your posts are really easy to skip, by the way, and your propaganda is an easy motivation for the right-wing to write books, all of which end up becoming best-sellers. Let’s see: conservatives write books, they sell extremely well, yet this is supposedly a “progressive” nation. One more rebuttal to THAT false report. Man you people don’t get it. Anyhow, I digress.
“AND Tony Snow is STILL a LIAR, even if he LIES for TRAITORS like Bush and Cheney.”
After you just refuted an extensive archived documentary from your own TP, you can’t be taken seriously. You may have some leeches on your brain.
“And Tony IS going to DIE soon. Just LOOK at him, if you can…”
Well, I see that you need help, but you’re already in hell.
“Oh well, some NEED to be in hell, and they CERTAINLY do…”
Again, why attempt to bring everyone down to your level?
June 29th, 2007 at 9:02 amYou can try to pin “islamo-stalinist” on me, Nazi azzhole-licker, but the REAL islamo-stalinists are TRAITORS Bush and Cheney.
They are Saudi OIL WHOREBAGS who have known the Bin Ladens and the Saudi TERRORIST FINANCIERS (still funding Al Queda) for YEARS.
Just because Snow said some things against Bush previously, says NOTHING of the FACT that he is a LIAR for the Bush CRIMINALS.
And will BURN IN HELL FOR ETERNITY.
Speaking of SERIOUSLY, please tell me:
WHY did Bush and Cheney REFUSE TO TESTIFY UNDER OATH to the 9/11 Commission??
i.e. SWEAR TO GOD TO TELL THE TRUTH TO THE USA??
Come on, Nazi azzhole-licker, BRING IT ON.
Because ALL of YOUR barbs directed toward ME mean that YOU can’t be taken seriously, especially since you support WAR CRIMINALS.
The REAL WAR CRIMINALS are the Bushes, and they and YOU will burn in hell for ETERNITY.
And Bush and Cheney are COXUCKER punk TRAITORS to the USA..
BURN!
SIZZLE!
FRY!
TOAST!
ROAST!
SINGE!
Have a nice day!!!
See you in hell Nazi azzhole-licker (cause I’LL be THERE),
