What about
" Rep. Jane Harman , the California Democrat with a longtime involvement in intelligence issues, was overheard on an NSA wiretap telling a suspected Israeli agent that she would lobby the Justice Department reduce espionage-related charges against two officials of the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee, the most powerful pro-Israel organization in Washington.
In exchange for Harman's help, the sources said, the suspected Israeli agent pledged to help lobby Nancy Pelosi , D-Calif., then-House minority leader, to appoint Harman chair of the Intelligence Committee after the 2006 elections, which the Democrats were heavily favored to win
And that, contrary to reports that the Harman investigation was dropped for "lack of evidence," it was Alberto R. Gonzales, President Bush's top counsel and then attorney general, who intervened to stop the Harman probe.
Why? Because, according to three top former national security officials, Gonzales wanted Harman to be able to help defend the administration's warrantless wiretapping program, which was about break in The New York Times and engulf the White House.
As for there being "no evidence" to support the FBI probe, a source with first-hand knowledge of the wiretaps called that "bull****."

and
Contradicting an earlier statement, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Wednesday that she had been briefed about recorded surveillance of U.S. Rep. Jane Harman, according to The New York Times.
How she would forget such a briefing was not explained. Pelosi and Harman are rivals who are known for not liking each other, and the recordings in question involved an alleged quid pro quo by which a rich donor would hold back on giving money to Pelosi if she didn’t give Harman a seat on the House intelligence committee.
