5. Her official response:-
http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/04/harman_i_never_contacted_doj_on_aipac_case.php

"The CQ Politics story simply recycles three year-old discredited reporting of largely unsourced material to manufacture a 'scoop' out of widely known and unremarkable facts - that Congresswoman Jane Harman is and has long been a supporter of AIPAC, and that some members of AIPAC regarded her as well-qualified to chair the House Intelligence Committee following the 2006 elections. Congresswoman Harman has never contacted the Justice Department about its prosecution of present or former AIPAC employees and the Department has never informed her that she was or is the subject of or involved in an investigation. If there is anything about this story that should arouse concern, it is that the Bush Administration may have been engaged in electronic surveillance of members of the congressional Intelligence Committees."

Note:-

1) She does not deny that the phone conversation took place

2) She does not deny the remarks that were attributed to her

It would be good to see an interview where those two questions could be put to her.
