Bugging McConnell's Office Is A Crime

[Lakhota]

Republicans are sufficiently outraged by the leaked recording of one of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s private re-election strategy sessions that they’ve characterized it as a crime. But according to privacy law experts, and legal experts in Kentucky, the question of whether the person who recorded the meeting committed a crime turns entirely on whether he or she was an invited participant.

Bugging McConnell's Office Is A Crime

McConnell is a piece of shit. He has been commiting moral crimes against the USA the whole time he has been in office. Piss on him. He is lucky some patriot hasn't put a pistol to his temple and pulled the trigger.

Not if the recording was made by an invited participant.

Wrong....it is a crime to tape somebody without their permission. Why do you think that whenever you call a Public Utility, Bank, etc., they must notify you that the call may be recorded, before transfering you to a live person to speak with.

KY only requires consent of one party.

Ky. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 526.010: It is a felony to overhear or record, through use of an electronic or mechanical device, a wire or oral communication without the consent of at least one party to that communication. Ky. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 526.020.

Ah, but that doesn't apply to a phone tap, as the listener is NOT part of the communication. One of the PARTICIPANTS has to give consent.

Besides Mother Jones is the most criminal media source ever to be unleashed on America --- and that was before they started this civil terrorism plot. Traitors --- every last one of them should be hung.

Where do "phone taps" come into play? There was no "phone tap" - it was a recording of an in-person meeting (probably recorded by one of the PARTICIPANTS).

Oh really? Which participant was that?

You really think Mother Jones would concern themselves with the law? HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

I think it was someone wearing a wire.

Kinda like the 47 percent comment that Mittens did when he thought he was in the midst of supporters.

Even then, it wasn't illegal.

If one the participants, as suggested, did the taping, then the "one consent" rule is followed.

"civil terrorism plot"? You sound as silly as Yurt or The 2ndAmendment.

What law do you think that Mother Jones broke? How do you think they got the recording?

I'm interested in what you think happened.

 

[mudwhistle]

Well the guys who infiltrated ACORN got the hammer, only fair to land it on Mother Jones too if they're guilty.

What are you talking about?

 

[mudwhistle]

According to this statue Mother Jones has committed a crime, as well as the person that made the recording.

What "crime" did Mother Jones commit?


And if someone in that meeting recorded it, they didn't commit a "crime" either.

According to the illegal eavesdropping statute:

A person can violate such statutes by the following:

he/she can unlawfully intercept or procure another to unlawfully intercept a wire, oral or electronic communication;
he/she can unlawfully disclose the contents of an electronic, oral or wire communication;​

If someone at the meeting knew about the recording they will be in serious trouble from the McConnell campaign. However, if nobody at the meeting knew this was going on it was a crime according to wiretapping laws. So far nobody has admitted to knowing about it.
