So, can someone please explain to why is it, other than because he’s Barry’s longtime cohort, that Eric "I’m A Racist" Holder is still the Attorney General and is not now wearing prisoner number 60606-016? Especially since we now know that it was Holder who gave the official ok for the search warrant issued against a Fox News journalist’s, James Rosen, private emails. And now we’re finding out that the Justice Department begged a federal judge to not tell Mr. Rosen that it was tracking his telephone calls and emails in a probe regarding a national security leak. And I really don’t care what you say, if Holder is in this deep, his buddy Barry is as well.
It was U.S. Attorney Ron Machen who argued in 2010 that the traditional 30-day notice period did not apply to Rosen as Justice secretly monitored his Gmail account, according to new exhibits unsealed this week and disclosed by The Hill. "Where, as here, the government seeks such contents through a search warrant, no notice to the subscriber or customer of the e-mail account is statutorily required or necessary," Machen wrote in a June 2010 motion. "Thus, this court's indication on the face of the warrant that delayed notice of 30 days to the customer and subscriber was permissible was unnecessary."
Machen, through another request granted by the court, stopped Google from telling Rosen that Justice was spying on his e-mail account, the Hill reports. The prosecutor had demanded to see all of Rosen’s emails, including deleted messages, emails in his trash folder and all attachments sent to and from him. The original warrant in the Rosen case was signed personally by Attorney General Holder, which NBC News reported this week. This administration has been involved in an ongoing battle with Fox News going all the way back to be Barry was elected the first time, because it was discussing things that Barry didn’t wasn’t discussed.
Meanwhile, Fox News President Roger Ailes on Thursday blasted Justice for targeting journalists as if they were criminals and said the government's seizure of reporters' emails and phone records would not stand "the test of law." "The administration’s attempt to intimidate Fox News and its employees will not succeed and their excuses will stand neither the test of law, the test of decency, nor the test of time," Ailes said. "We will not allow a climate of press intimidation, unseen since the McCarthy era, to frighten any of us away from the truth." Good for Mr. Ailes as he hits the nail on the head by calling this exactly what it is, intimidation!
Barry "Almighty", on Thursday, asked his faithful sidekick, Holder, to review Justice’s guidelines on leak investigations and news organizations. Holder promised a report by July 12, or so the Hill reports. Reports of the FBI's tracking of Rosen's movements, phone, and email conversations with a former State Department contractor, Stephen Jin-Woo Kim, followed the disclosure last week that phone records of editors and reporters at The Associated Press had been secretly seized by Justice in another probe that supposedly centered around possibly leaked government information. But it was really nothing more than a politically motivated ruse.
But unlike the AP reporters, Rosen was named as a "co-conspirator" by FBI officials in the warrant signed by Holder. And that was done most likely because of who Rosen’s employer is, that of course being Fox News, the one news organization actually doing it’s job when it comes to keeping an eye on this most corrupt administration to come along in quite sometime. And now that Barry finds himself mired in a growing number of scandals, any one of which has the potential to prove lethal to his presidency, he seems to determined in his efforts to pull out all of the stops to keep as much information as possible from ever reaching the public.
And if Barry can intimidate a few reporters, well, all the better. Although, let’s face it, how many actual reporters presently exist in what is today’s state-controlled media complex. I would venture to argue, very few. The media has been very firmly in the tank for Barry going all the way back to 2007. They’re not going to report on anything that has even the slightest potential to cause Barry any political pain unless they’re pretty much forced to do so. Hence another benefit from our being fortunate enough to have a Fox News. There is much going on that should be of concern to anyone who loves this country. We’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg.
