Why is it important whether they were told or not?
From the article:
“A law enforcement official said on Sunday that in the investigation that led to the indictment of Mr. Kim, ‘the government issued subpoenas for toll records for five phone numbers associated with the media.’ This person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, added, ‘Consistent with Department of Justice policies and procedures, the government provided notification of those subpoenas nearly three years ago by certified mail, facsimile and e-mail.’
The law required Holder’s DOJ to make the above notification to News Corp. News Corp says they never got it.
If NEWSCORP had gotten a fax from the DOJ telling them that one of their reporters phones were being tapped they would have been screaming it from the highest mountain. Why you ask? Because that is big news.
Compared to a birth certificate, I would say they likely could pony up a pretty good US Mail Return Receipt in an hour or two.
Yes, I suspected as much.
Thanks - so it wasn't law though - it was DOJ policies and procedures.
If FOX really wasn't notified, at a minimum this shows dishonesty and false testimony.
I can't wait to get America back.
If they sent it by certified mail they should have the green card receipt documenting this.
New York Times? I wonder what page this was on...
A version of this article appeared in print on May 27, 2013, on page B3 of the New York edition with the headline: News Corp. Says It Was Not Told of Subpoena for Reporters Phone Records.
It was linked on the front page down low in the e-NYTimes, but is buried on B3 in the print edition...

You’ll love this - looks like the New York Times is NOT a lost cause.. they’re back!
N.Y. Times will not attend DOJ session, citing opposition to off-the-record provision..
Ooooo! Looks like Barry and Holder really PO’d the NY Times by cutting off all of their leakers on whom they rely to generate sales. None of their sources “familiar with the matter but speaking anonymously because the matter is classified” know whether they have already been outed by secret warrants like the AP and Fox warrants.
Looks like this is getting interesting... thanks for sharing.
BUMP
I wonder if the DOJ ever produced the docs
bump
btt
Thanks for the ping. What Holder and Obama did was criminal, of course!
