Lawmaker is said to have aided lobbyists from the New York Times reports that California Representative Jane Harman, a member of the House Intelligence Committee - and with powerful ambitions to be its chair - may have gone a bit too far and gotten caught with the very technology that she has had privvy to - and that most other legislators have not.
The lawmaker, Representative Jane Harman of California, became the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee after the 2002 election and had ambitions to be its chairwoman when the party gained control of the House in 2006. One official who has seen transcripts of several wiretapped calls said she appeared to agree to intercede in exchange for help in persuading party leaders to give her the powerful post.
