Sen. Rockefeller: NSA May Have Wiretapped Me

Earlier this year, Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) speculated that the National Security Agency may have wiretapped him. His statement came at the very end of an interview in January with MSNBCs Chris Matthews and received little attention.
Matthews asked Rockefeller about allegations that the NSA spied on journalists as part of its anti-terror surveillance. "I'm quite prepared to believe it. I think they went after anybody they could get, including me," he said.
Matthews was skeptical. "They didn't eavesdrop on you, did they, senator?" he asked.
"They sent me no letters," replied Rockefeller, meaning that he had no confirmation from the NSA that they had spied on him.
His speculation takes on much more significance in light of a New York Times report that the NSA attempted to spy on a congressman.
A Huffington Post reader directed us to the Rockefeller remark. It was one among dozens of tips that HuffPost readers sent in after sifting through congressional records and searching for old news reports on Thursday. Reader research is resulting in a fairly comprehensive list, which we continue to update, of members of Congress who match the New York Times description of the congressman that the National Security Agency attempted to wiretap.
