"The government would not say why it sought the records."

Last edited Mon May 13, 2013, 07:18 PM USA/ET - Edit history (6)
In all, the government seized those records for more than 20 separate telephone lines assigned to AP and its journalists in April and May of 2012. The exact number of journalists who used the phone lines during that period is unknown but more than 100 journalists work in the offices whose phone records were targeted on a wide array of stories about government and other matters.

(snip)

The government would not say why it sought the records.

(snip)

The letter notifying AP that its phone records had been obtained though subpoenas was sent Friday by Ronald Machen, the U.S. attorney in Washington.

White House Press Secretary Declines To Comment On DOJ Obtaining AP Phone Records

Leaks can be dangerous.

National security is important.

The DoJ sent notice of the subpoena to the AP on Friday; the surveillance took place a year ago, and cast a very, very broad net.

If you don't have a problem with this, you are out of your ****ing mind.

I am with you on this one.

All I see is the AP colluding with their pro-Corporate world domination propaganda.

Guess somebody's records got seized who mattered at AP. Nice to see them get bit by all their colluding.

I am only surprised so many here still have the idea we have in any way a free press. It's frickin laughable to me. You have at best, 6 big corporations owning all the media. They report what helps their interests.

Their interests are the crap that you people spew!!!

This was bound to happen eventually.  It was about "national security" reasons.  Something to do with a terrorist attack on an airliner.  The AP is an International wire press and probably have a lot of shady contacts.  We'll probably never know the whys and wherefores.

I imagine ProSense's fingers are bloody stumps by now. She's over there posting every positive story she can. She's now attempting to connect stories that are only scantly, if at all, related. She's like a mostly dead spider furiously spinning its little heart out.

The DUmmies are openly mocking her. They can sense her smug bravado slipping, and will soon go in for the kill.

Congratulations DUmmies...you've finally gotten the government you have begged for over the years.

The only twist to it is that you never EVER expected them to do these things to you and all your Libtard freinds and organizations...just to Republicans/Conservatives.

Wee Willy, do you remember your outrage at King Hussein when he  pissed all over the Second Amendment? It looks like some of it leaked onto the First.

How about his selective enforcement of Federal laws and active support of violating those laws, in violation of Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution? Do you remember your howls of indignation?

Me, neither. I guess it depends on whose ox is Gored, right?

More proof of what weak willed, ignorant, and yes stupid people (term used very loosely) the DUchebags are. Useful idiots does not go near far enough.

Last edited Tue May 14, 2013, 02:35 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1)

In your honest opinion, do you think the White House is involved in any of these charges? Did they know anything about what was going on with the IRS, an independent agency, but is under the purview of the Treasury Dept? How much did they know about the information that was subpoenaed from the AP and their reporters? Was Benghazi just a made-up conspiracy of the Republicans just to try and get their supporters fired up for the next election or was there more to it?

What is your opinion? Is the White House clear on all charges?

Do you want to know the truth or would you prefer not to know?

Don't worry little DUmmies...the press is going to beat them up for a couple of weeks so they can say they covered it (as an added bonus it's taken Benghazi off the public radar...bet the families are discouraged again). This way, they get it out of the way for midterms and Hillary's sailing into the WH. As we speak those very same news organizations are working on digging up dirt to throw at whatever Republican is up for election.
