Jane Harman isn’t backing off her call to have information about her wiretapped conversation with a suspected Israeli agent released publicly.
In fact, in a speech to AIPAC’s annual policy convention, Harman doubled down on that demand. “I want it all out there. I want it in public. I want everyone to understand, including me, what has happened,” she said, according to the Washington Post.
Harman continued: “I will not quit on this until I am absolutely sure this can never happen to anyone else.” She said that members of congress who care about Israel’s security “have every right to talk to advocacy groups.” According to the Post, the crowd “warmly applauded.”
The JTA, which also was at the speech, reports that Harman called herself “not a victim” but rather a “warrior on behalf of our Constitution and against abuse of power.”
