Next Scandal Please - The DOJ seized phone records
Posted: May 13, 2013
Have they seized other records of other newspapers? Have they seized private citizen records? This government gets scarier (sp) every week.
WASHINGTON — The Justice Department secretly obtained two months of telephone records of reporters and editors for The Associated Press in what the news cooperative's top executive called a "massive and unprecedented intrusion" into how news organizations gather the news.
The records obtained by the Justice Department listed incoming and outgoing calls, and the duration of each call, for the work and personal phone numbers of individual reporters, general AP office numbers in New York, Washington and Hartford, Conn., and the main number for AP reporters in the House of Representatives press gallery, according to attorneys for the AP.
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.

Sadly, Obama does not seem to have any - idea what is going onm
[ In Reply To ..]Unless it is March madness. That aside, I think Obama knows exactly wht is going on, has given everything his blessing, and just does not give a damn about this coumntry. He is punch-drunk with power and advancing his communist agenda.
How is Obama advancing a communist - agenda? nm

[ In Reply To ..]we wouldn't be allowed to talk about this at all, nor would you be allowed to call the president King Farouk.
I would suggest you thank your lucky stars you are an American, for if you were unfortunate enough to be in nazi germany or mother russia, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
You should thank your Lucky Star - that others died so YOU
[ In Reply To ..]could write some of what you do. BTW - King Farouk fits him...don't like it, don't read it. IT IS A FREE COUNTRY.
right. I think that was my point. - ...
[ In Reply To ..]from the sound of your post, I doubt very much your parents served in WWII. Mine did.
My mother-in-law barely survived Hitler. - Have some respect.
[ In Reply To ..]When you have to escape this country with someone holding a gun to the train conductor's head and telling him to "go," you can start calling this Nazi Germany.
agree - sm
[ In Reply To ..]I see it as very disrespectful to toss around notions of Nazis and communists when describing our country. It's ironic that these slurs come from the right, who seem to think that they love and defend our country more than anyone else. It's pitiful.
Republicans WANTED leaks investigated re: CIA / Yemen / Al Quida - wheres_my_job
[ In Reply To ..]AP is a conservative leaning news outlet. There was leaked info regarding a terror plot, and Republicans themselves wanted these NEWS LEAKS investigated. So DOJ was trying to track down the source of the leaks.
There still is such a thing as classified information, as far as I know. Republicans apparently think so too - they ALSO wanted the NEWS LEAKS investigated.
Nothing to see here.
Typical post when the blow back is on - Dems/**********
[ In Reply To ..].
See below - I just posted facts relating to investigation - wheres_my_job
[ In Reply To ..]It is also true Republicans wanted this to be investigated.
Holder did it WITHOUT A WARRANT - Truthhurts
[ In Reply To ..]There may have been probable cause but they still needed a warrant.
Amendment IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Here's the scoop on the supposed "scandal" - wheres_my_job
[ In Reply To ..]From Huffington Post:
"Though DOJ did not give the AP a specific reason for the seizure, the dates of the phone calls it targeted offered a clear tell. On May 7, 2012, AP reporters Adam Goldman and Matt Apuzzo, citing anonymous sources, reported that the CIA had thwarted a plot by an al-Qaeda affiliate to "destroy a U.S.-bound airliner using a bomb with a sophisticated new design around the one-year anniversary of the killing of Osama bin Laden."
The AP acknowledged then that it had agreed with the White House and CIA requests "not to publish" its story "immediately because the sensitive intelligence operation was still under way." But "once officials said those concerns were allayed," the news organization went ahead with its story rather than wait for the Obama administration's official announcement.
It was later revealed that the "would-be bomber" was actually a U.S. spy planted in the Yemen-based group Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. On May 18, U.S. and allied officials suggested to Reuters that the leak to the AP had forced the end of an "operation which they hoped could have continued for weeks or longer."
Per usual, short on facts, long on spin - ...

[ In Reply To ..]good job :-)
Thanks TruthHurts - After trying to weed through all - the stalkers and insults, I actually
[ In Reply To ..]I find a space to thank you for the post. It seems as if you really hit some nerves. Stalkers, stalkers everywhere. I found it quite telling that this is what finally hit the liberal press nerves, too. They have protected Obama, his lies and cover ups, the damage Obama's policies is wreaking on our nation, but this is what gets their attention. They are probably worried which of the liberal press' no good acts might come to light if these calls are "leaked".
LOL!!! Puleeeeeeeeeeeeeze! If ONLY you had that kind - of power. NM

Stalkers? NO. Just people who disagree. NM. - YD
