Attorney General Eric Holder said Tuesday that he isn’t sure how many times he’s seized reporters’ records.
“I’m not sure how many of those cases … I have actually signed off on,” Holder said in an interview with NPR’s Carrie Johnson. “I take them very seriously. I know that I have refused to sign a few [and] pushed a few back for modifications.”
Holder’s answer serves as confirmation that the Justice Department’s secret seizure of The Associated Press’s phone records is not an isolated incident.
Though the decision to subpoena information from media organizations normally falls to Holder, he insists that he recused himself from the AP case, leaving Deputy Attorney General James Cole to make the decision.

Imagine, Warren Buffet calls his secretary in his office (the one who pays more tax than him). He says to him/her, I would like a cup of coffee and while your at it could you decide if we purchase a controlling interest in that ABC company, I am recusing myself from the decision. Sure thing Mr. Buffet, just one thing? Do you want cream and sugar?

Conservatives were Obama’s victims too, but unlike the press we were aware of it as it was happening.
