Courtesy of my friend Robin Lynn Ore. Finally, after years of being tapped, raided, and impoverished…Thomas Tamm, who exposed what he thought was the illegality of Bush era wiretapping, had the case against him dropped by the DOJ.
It should be noted that AT&T was selling information to paying clients during this time. The hearings were on CSPAN and one customer said he had one on one time with scientists. In a national broadcast exclusive, DN speaks with Thomas Tamm, the former U.S. Justice Department attorney who helped expose the Bush administration’s domestic warrantless eavesdropping program that intercepted private email messages and phone calls of U.S. residents without a court warrant.

DOJ Drops Probe of Whistleblower Who Exposed Bush-Era Domestic Spying, Thomas Tamm: “The Bottom Line Is I Don’t Think I Ever Broke the Law”
In a national broadcast exclusive, we speak with Thomas Tamm, the former U.S. Justice Department attorney who helped expose the Bush administration’s domestic warrantless eavesdropping program that intercepted private email messages and phone calls of U.S. residents without a court warrant. On Tuesday, news broke that the Justice Department dropped its long-running criminal investigation of Tamm. The relatively quiet end to the investigation into Tamm’s warrantless wiretapping leak marks a sharp contrast to the controversy his information generated during the second half of the Bush administration about whether the government had overstepped its legal authority in response to the 9/11 terror attacks.
