Schmuck Talk Express™ has gotten out his Arizona sand flip-flops and let a top advisor suddenly get concerned about telecom immunity over telcos’ warrantless snooping on Americans.
McCain legal advisor Chuck Fish said telcos would need to explain themselves at Congressional hearings in order to justify immunity grants.
“There would need to be hearings, real hearings, to find out what actually happened, what harms actually occurred, rather than some sort of sweeping of things under the rug.”
But, Schmuck Talk has steadfastly and strenuously opposed telco immunity in the past.
His campaign sought to “clarify” Fish’s original comments on the issue last week, but the clarification actually made more of a muddle.
Further clarifications by McCain, or not, and any change in Fish’s status, or not, especially if Barr picks up on this, could be very interesting.
