Once the Matt Walsh allegations began pouring in Saturday, I then believed a further investigation was not only necessary, but also in the best interest of Congress to undertake.
I think in a case like this, a grandstander such as Specter hurts his cause by comparing the NFL's investigation into cheating with CIA monkey business. But now I hope he calls Walsh to testify, and I hope Walsh spills his guts about everything he knows of the Patriots' taping practices.

That said, the rest of Specter's interview with the newspaper bothers me because he says he wants the federal government to investigate Spygate. "It's analogous to the CIA destruction of tapes,'' he told the Times. A stunning comparison. Not because they both involve destruction of tapes, but because a senator in the United States would believe that the country is well-served by an investigation into why a sports league handled the discipline of a major offense in a certain way, and why it's like the CIA destroying tapes. The CIA. The NFL. What is wrong with this picture? If I'm a Pennsylvania citizen, I'm furious that the most important politician in my state is spending time planning a hearing at which Roger Goodell will have to appear to justify why he destroyed the tapes. I'm furious because this is football, not national security. It's absurd that Specter would think this is important enough to put the full force of the U.S. government into attacking it.
