The DOJ pursues the "real criminal" in the NSA spying scandal

While the high-level lawbreakers are protected from consequences by our political class, only the courageous whistle-blower is subject to criminal prosecution.

    Thanks Jim White

    From bmaz' post:

    A lot of readers have asked about how to donate to Tamm's legal defense fund. In that regard, I contacted Mr. Tamm's attorney, Paul Kemp and obtained the information; here is the response:

    Hi [bmaz]. Thanks for your inquiry. The address of the defense fund is:


    Thomas Tamm Legal Defense Fund

    Bank of Georgetown

    5236 44th Street

    Washington, DC 20015.

    Tom appreciates your support and that of your readers.

    Paul F. Kemp

    Irrespective of his precise personal motivations, Tom Tamm has done the Constitution, the Fourth Amendment, the rule of law and all of us a favor by exposing the rank lawlessness of the elected leaders of this country. If you see fit, send him a few bucks to lighten the load he has taken on.

    I don't know about you, but if the wingnuts can pony up hundreds of thousands for the traitor Scooter Libby, I am sure as heck going to ante up a little to thank Tom Tamm for doing the right thing.

    If we ever hope to keep the window open on what our government is doing, it behooves us to support this man who demonstrates the sort of courage our resident trolls can only dream of.
