Rockefeller's "Bet"-NewsCorp Investigation Will Turn Up "Criminal Stuff"-"This Will Be Huge"

[kpete]

From AFP: ..................

But Rockefeller, a former Senate intelligence committee chairman, told reporters his "bet" was that an investigation would turn up "criminal stuff" and said his powerful committee "might" lead its own probe.

"This will be a huge issue," he said.

Rockefeller had called Tuesday for "the appropriate agencies" of the US government to probe whether alleged hacking by members of Murdoch's media empire extended to US citizens and warned of "severe" consequences.

"I am concerned that the admitted phone hacking in London by the News Corp. may have extended to 9/11 victims or other Americans. If they did, the consequences will be severe," said Rockefeller, a Democrat.

4. Here it comes.

Owners of Fox News hacked cellphones of 9/11 victims. Freepers heads will explode.

[Jackpine Radical]

20. Nah. Won't faze them.

You underestimate the power of denial in people who have been practicing and relying on it for years.

[Blue Owl]

5. Here's my theory why they tapped 9/11 victim's phones

In case anyone in the towers witnessed what was REALLY going on inside the WTC on 9/11 -- FOX & Bu$hCo could then monitor that information to make sure the official story was never kneecapped.

Trying to think of other reasons they would spy on them for? Anyone?

:tinfoilhat:

8. You know what kind of info the mirror goes with right?

No, that was not the reason... lovely juicy info, purely.

Having dealt with a few yellow journalists... that does not even enter the calculation.

And yes it cost me a bottle of good whiskey to keep a story OFF the yellow paper...

7. Even Republicans are calling for an investigation.

House Homeland Security chairman wants investigation of News Corp.

19. As they should. Finally, a nonpartisan problem

is being addressed in a nonpartisan fashion ...

9. Oh please, please, please let this destroy Faux News and everyone connected to it.

We KNOW they've done that crap here. If they did it in the UK, they did it here and probably more of it.

[malaise]

11. Murdoch is the biggest terrorist on the planet

He has virtually destroyed democracies.

[Zen Democrat]

12. Does anyone know if ANY of this is being mentioned on Fox News?

I feel sure they are completely ignoring it, but for how long can they ignore the biggest story in the world?

[ProfessionalLeftist]

13. How far will this get with a Republican house that wants Fox "News" protected? n/t

[drm604]

15. I think the Republicans are going to realize that they have to distance themselves from Murdoch

and jump all over this. Faux News won't mention it of course, so this is going to be very interesting to watch.

What happens when Faux is afraid to let either Democrats or Republicans speak uncensored?

[SugarShack]

16. You are correct no appetite for that! And Rockefeller?Illuminati will find criminal deeds? get real

[femrap]

14. Rockefeller vs. Murdoch

TPTB are fighting. Yippee.

[Remember Me]

17. Like what? We;ll take away their tax break bonanza?

Or maybe BOTH!!
