[null and void]

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
