FOX NEWS REPORTED ON THIS CASE YESTERDAY,TONIGHT I READ IT AT THE Washington POST,REP JANE HARMAN APPEARS WAS CAUGHT ON A FBI WIRE TAP CONSIDERING DO SOME INTELLIGENT INFORMATION TRADING,REP HARMAN MAY NOT HAVE TO GO TO TRIAL ON JUNE SECOND,ATTORNEY GENERAL ERIC HOLDER IS CONSIDERING DROPPING THE CHARGES AGAINST HER,IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO READ THE STORY AT THE LINK BELOW BEFORE LEAVE A COMMENT.

The U.S. government may abandon espionage-law charges against two former lobbyists for a pro-Israel advocacy group, officials said yesterday, as a prominent House lawmaker denied new allegations that she offered to use her influence on their behalf.
This Story
Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.) accused the government of an "abuse of power" in wiretapping her conversations, following news reports that she had been recorded in 2006 on FBI wiretaps that officials at the time said raised questions of possible illegal conduct.

Harman's expression of outrage added a political dimension to the prosecution of the two former lobbyists, who were charged in 2005 under a World War I-era espionage law with conspiring to give national defense information to journalists and Israeli Embassy officials.
Transcripts of the FBI wiretaps depict a possible trade of favors in which Harman expressed willingness to discuss the American Israel Public Affairs Committee prosecution with senior administration officials and, in return, AIPAC backers would provide Democrats with additional campaign contributions and support Harman's efforts to become chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, according to two sources with direct knowledge of the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Rose, it would be a REAL good idea for you to read your own story! Representative Harman hasn't been charged with anything so there are no charges to drop. Harman has denied the whole thing.

The story I heard was that Jane Harman was helping AIPAC with getting special treatment, while the head of AIPAC was going to help Harman get a committee head. But, surprisingly I didn't see in the stor you quoted, nor in your post the part that is really note worthy: Former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales knew all about this, and didn't file charges against Harman because she voted for his warrently wire tapping program, that allegedly caught her. Isn't that irnoic?
