So, apparently the record seizure was in response to a leak.

Perhaps, they need to check out the WH since there are officials there that have siblings in high places in the media.

I haven’t heard anyone using the race card to protect BO in the past couple of weeks.

Now that you mention it, me neither.

I know I am sounding really ignorant, but I don’t understand. What would the WH or the DOJ want with phone records of the AP? What are they looking for?

Loyalty. Or at least fear driven compliance.

Failing that, a chilling effect on anyone who would dare provide the media with any truth.

----What are they looking for?----

The stated purpose was telephone evidence of a leak regarding a terror plot in Yemen in March 2012.

They are actually looking to intimidate the AP

If the AP is lost, the Presidency is lost

Yep. as I said on another thread:

Perhaps this is just a gentle reminder of who owns who?

I hope Sally Sweelies likes very rough sex, she's gonna get a lot of it!

(This picture was taken back when the relationship was more, how shall I put it?, consensual)

I suspect AP will find that Obama, Holder and Co. can make Castro* look like a saint...

*Ariel, Fidel, whatever...

Time to compile a few hours of Carney, Obama, Hitlery, Pelousy ,Nepoleanitano and Holder saying “..no knowledge, no idea, no credible evidence”.. blah blah blah. Wonder how many hours that would be showing just how much they don’t know.

It was a desperate panic reaction

Justice Department Expands Hunt for Data on Cellphones
http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/11/26/justice-department-expands-hunt-for-data-on-cellphones/

Obama’s NSA eavesdropping goes beyond that of Bush... after campaigning on the promise of: “ No warrantless wiretaps if you elect me!”
http://news.cnet.com/8301-10784_3-9845595-7.html

headlines read: “NSA Exceeds Legal Limits In Eavesdropping Program” , “ U.S. phone intercepts go beyond legal limits” , and “NSA Found Improperly Spying on Americans”.

Oh well, nevermind, as long as we FEEL safer and it’s not BUSH!

As the others have said, they could be looking for leakers, whistle blowers or reporters anonymous sources.

What the Justice Dept. did is a serious breach of the law in that it was not narrowly limited to a specific action okayed by a judge for a warrant.

DOJ could and probably did get many different sources for AP reporters.

wonder what they’ve done to their enemies, like Fox News?

Good point...This shows they'll use any means to stop the flow of information from the Executive Branch on their illegal and/or unethical acts.

Like you say, it's hard to imagine the lengths they go to with an unfriendly news source because AP has been good to them as a rule.

White House: 'No knowledge' of AP phone record seizure

This is risible to the point of insanity, plain and simple insanity. Do they really think we aren't aware that "White House says..."
or "Obama says..." is literally never followed by any statement that is true, either here or in the other eight dimensions?

Pull the other one, "White House."

Pretty hilarious that the bozo who took so much credit for bin-ladin’s death is suddenly not involved in anything.

Well put, they can’t seem to tell the truth and even some Libs question them now.

This administration (including the POTUS) has no awareness of anything going on as executed by people for whom they are responsible. No wonder they feel that they have all the time and money in the world to go on fantastic vacations and almost daily trips to the links...

How foolish of us to expect otherwise. There are many ‘dots’ here. Connect ‘em all. Get the whole set.
