It’s obvious Holder did not obtain a warrant for this. If he had, there would be no cause for an investigation. And no warrant means Holder broke the law. No way he survives this, even with a sycophantic press trying to bail him out.
I agree. He’s trying to dump it on an underling, but regardless of who signed it, a judge would have had to order it, and there’s no evidence one ever did so.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he flees the country, though. He knows he’s in big trouble, and in addition, though this was probably worked out with and approved by Obama and Jarrett, he knows that Obama is going to throw him under the bus.
