The Thomas Tamm Legal Defense Fund
A lot of readers have asked about how to donate to Tamm’s legal defense fund. In that regard, I contacted Mr. Tamm’s attorney, Paul Kemp and obtained the information; here is the response.
Marcy Wheeler is an independent journalist writing about national security and civil liberties. She writes as emptywheel at her eponymous blog, publishes at outlets including Vice, Motherboard, the Nation, the Atlantic, Al Jazeera, and appears frequently on television and radio. She is the author of Anatomy of Deceit, a primer on the CIA leak investigation, and liveblogged the Scooter Libby trial.
Marcy has a PhD from the University of Michigan, where she researched the “feuilleton,” a short conversational newspaper form that has proven important in times of heightened censorship. Before and after her time in academics, Marcy provided documentation consulting for corporations in the auto, tech, and energy industries. She lives with her spouse in Grand Rapids, MI.

Say. Do you think Reid and Dodd noticed that Bob Corker–who they’re hailing as a gift to good faith negotiations–was not negotiating in good faith on Thursday night?
I’m as fascinated by the timing of Thomas Tamm’s story about his role in breaking the illegal domestic spying story as by any of the details in the story. It will sure make it harder for Vaughn Walker to accept the Administration’s representations that the Attorney General has found this program legal when Tamm quotes two DOJ lawyers who told him it was illegal.
I’m curious whether Blago was Michael Sneed’s source for the story that Rahm Emanuel wanted to game his replacement in Congress–putting a place-holder in his seat–so as to set up a return to Congress and a run for Speaker after two years of serving as Obama’s Chief of Staff?
Did you notice that Jesse Jackson Jr. didn’t show up on Obama’s list of acceptable people to replace him in the Senate?
Three weeks left in the season, it’s go time baby. There are teams that are going to solidify their hold on a playoff position, and there are teams that are going to start falling victim to the axe. Here’s the rundown.
Eric Holder is a horrid choice to lead the Obama Department of Justice. But fear not, Karl Rove will be running and leading the GOP effort against Senate confirmation of the Eric Holder nomination
While America’s own politicians don’t see the value of sustaining an American auto industry, Michigan’s good neighbor Cananda does.
It’s clear that Republicans are determined to delay as long as possible both Eric Holder’s nomination and turning over the OLC opinions authorizing illegal activities. It almost makes you think they’re trying to delay the time when a neutral party can prevent their “get out of jail free” schemes, huh?
John Cole is proposing to invade Michigan. It’s a great idea, but I’m worried he’s just doing it to get his coaches back.
