“Appropriate” Eric Holder Doubles Down On Government Intimidation Of The Media

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

Just days after CBS investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson confirmed both her work and personal computers were hacked during her investigations into such anti-Obama stories as the Fast and Furious gunrunning scandal, the Green Energy stimulus scandal, and later, the Benghazi Massacre scandal, Obama Attorney General Eric Holder (who is deeply involved in all of those scandals) issued a letter to Congress indicating the spying tactics used against Fox investigative reporter James Rosen were “appropriate”.  Holder claims Congress may have “misinterpreted” his earlier under oath remarks when he testified that no journalists had been prosecuted by the Justice Department for publishing leaks.

Eric Holder: James Rosen probe ‘appropriate’

<a href=’http://a.stanzapub.com/delivery/ck.php?n=7787dc&cb=3a6257f90838ab677f7387983b062ff9′ target=’_blank’><img src=’http://a.stanzapub.com/delivery/avw.php?zoneid=1435&cb=3a6257f90838ab677f7387983b062ff9&n=7787dc’ border=’0′ alt=” /></a>

Attorney General Eric Holder is defending his testimony before the House Judiciary Committee in a new letter, reiterating that he did not lie when he told the committee no journalists have been prosecuted by the Justice Department for publishing leaks.

Holder called the investigation that involved Fox News reporter James Rosen “appropriate,” saying again that charges were never brought against Rosen and saying the committee might have misinterpreted his remarks.

…Judiciary Chairman Rep. Bob Goodlatte has pressed Holder on his statements, saying they conflict with an affidavit attached to a search warrant that named Rosen as a co-conspirator. Holder defended that label as being part of showing probable cause necessary to get the warrant, and again said charges against Rosen were never sought. 

 

In his answers, Holder also said neither guidelines nor the law require the attorney general to sign off on search warrants for journalists’ emails, unlike phone records, though department officials got Holder’s approval in this case.  LINK

      Holder claims Congress may have “misinterpreted” his earlier under oath remarks when he testified that no journalists had been prosecuted by the Justice Department for publishing leaks.?
      How precisely does one misinterpret an outright LIE? He LIED to congress, THAT IS A FELONY!!!
      There is no misinterpretation! A lie on top of a lie! the chicago way! bury lies with more lies until the initial lie has been forgotten!

    • Call It Like It Is...

      Since NO Journalists have been prosecuted then it stands to reason that they are SPYING on those Journalists for no reason at all….
