Former Democratic Congressman Dennis Kucinich, who was wiretapped by the feds in 2011 as he spoke to Muammar Gaddafi's son, entered the No Spin Zone to elaborate. "I had a resolution in the House," Kucinich reported, "to try to stop the war and he called me to talk about it. I cleared the discussion with House attorneys and a member of Congress is not supposed to be listened to by the executive branch. The Director of National Intelligence under President Obama was tracking my resolution and I didn't find out until two years after I had left Congress." Because of that experience, Kucinich does not automatically dismiss President Trump's allegation that he was bugged. "I heard a lot of people laughing about it, but I had something happen to me. If a member of Congress can have his phone tapped, this can happen to anybody."
