If they did this to the Obama friendly AP, what are they doing to Fox News?
This.


And if they are doing this to the AP, then they are doing this to everyone. Even MSfreakingNBC.
The media may love a dim....but they love themselves more, and expect tomorrow morning to be loud.
If Jay Carney thought Friday was bad.....he probably should find a shrink. Or resign.

I heard tonight that this happened because of something to do with a possible terrorist attack on an airliner that was foiled around the time of Osama's firsst death anniversary.

This also had to have been approved by Holder himself.  So the talking points will be "national security" reasons.

Holder will probably be the first Obama scandal casualty. He will probably either get fired or resign. I expect to see a lot of this.
This is Nixon all over again...only worse.

It's like the Iran-Iraq War, I'm rooting for both of them to lose.

The media is going to do what they always do for lord zero.....bend over and say thank you.  They know that they were complicite in his getting re elected so, heaven forbid, that they have to say they're wrong.

Strangely enough, the people who were screaming about POSSIBLE tapping of phones using the FISA courts are nowhere to be seen on this issue.

Curious, that.

Associated Press

According to the DOJ, the Associated Press allegedly published classified information.  So the Obama administration has a self-imposed security problem on their hands.

Slight modification.

Who cares....that was a long time ago.....we have to move on.

This begs a question: Who else's records did they "obtain"?

I would say it was the 49% that didn't vote for Obama.


....and I was mimicking Hillary, Kerry and the DUmmies.

Holder says his deputy was behind AP phone record subpoena
« Reply #41 on: May 14, 2013, 01:30:48 PM »
Does anyone in the Obama Administration know what goes on in their departments? This group of crooks in the White House are either completely incompetent or in complete dereliction of duty


Quote
URGENT: Attorney General Eric Holder said Tuesday that his deputy "ultimately authorized the subpoena" to secretly obtain phone records from The Associated Press, and said he had recused himself early on in the related investigation into leaks of sensitive information that "put the American people at risk."

Word that Deputy Attorney General James Cole is directing the FBI probe came as the White House expressed confidence in Holder and the department following revelations that it had seized phone records involving as many as 20 AP reporters and editors in an effort to find out who leaked confidential information to it.

Holder said Tuesday that the leak in question, which the AP has suggested involved a foiled terror attack originating in Yemen, was "very, very serious," but declined to elaborate. He said it was among the most serious he'd seen in his career and that it "required very aggressive action."

"It put the American people at risk," he told reporters during a press conference Tuesday.

Holder said he recused himself to avoid a conflict of interest. He said the investigation followed "all of the appropriate Department of Justice regulations."

Rooting is what we should have done immediately after killing Hussein. Let's get out of those countries. Too many heathens there to civilize them. Let those animals kill each other.
