[Rhodes22-list] List Member Condones Criminal Activity ? Political

[Herb Parsons]

Actually Rob, you should go back and look at what you REALLY said.

You said that obstruction of justice is a much more serious crime, and 
then, I can only assume, offer "everyone, especially a high profile 
public servant, should expect their accounts to be hacked these days"

Um... why is breaking into a person's account somehow better than 
breaking into a hotel room. The purpose of both was "dirty tricks" - to 
"get something" on a candidate.

Why is what AP doing any LESS "obstruction of justice" than the actions 
of Nixon's Aides?

Maybe back in the early 70's someone could have just written it off by 
saying "Hotel rooms aren't safe anyway. Everyone, especially political 
delegates, should expect them to be broken into. That's why they have 
safes in the lobby"

You're flip attitude is giving you away, and I'm sure you don't really 
like being found out.
