"... Jane Harman is likely to resign from Congress to succeed Lee H. Hamilton as president of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, a close friend of Harman’s told POLITICO..."
In 2008, CQ reporter Jeff Stein reported that many former top national security officials told him that in 2005 Harman "offered to lean on the Bush Justice Department in return for the help of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee's (AIPAC) help to become chair of the House Intelligence Committee." Harman was caught on a National Security Agency wiretap declaring to what Stein deems a "suspected Israeli agent" that she would "waddle into" the controversy surrounding two AIPAC officials, Steven Rosen and Keith Weissman, who are being prosecuted under the obscure provisions of the Espionage Act, if necessary. The phone call ended with Harman apparently admonishing, "This conversation doesn't exist."
