Report: Holder Tells Media He Will Protect First Amendment
Breitbart ^ | May 31, 2013 | By Elizabeth Sheld

Posted on 05/31/2013 12:25:19 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

Yesterday, Attorney General Eric Holder pledged to protect the first amendment rights of the media at a closed door, off-the-record meeting. The meeting took place with the media after it was revealed that the DOJ subpoenaed thousands of pages of AP reporter's phone records and obtained a secret warrant for FNC's James Rosen's (and his parents) phone records, emails and tracked his movement.

Holder "pledged Thursday to take concrete steps to address concerns that the Justice Department has overreached in its leak investigations and said officials would seek procedural and possibly legislative changes to protect journalists’ First Amendment rights."

Well, that’s a relief. I mean, if you can’t trust Eric Holder, who CAN you trust?

The only protection the First Amendment has is the Second Amendment.

Lyin' bag o' bull snot.

Seeing Holder frog marched into a cell would be the second best sight I can imagine.

How this crook/thug/punk has enjoyed a years long association with the DOJ given his casual disregard of the law is a wonder to me.

Good afternoon guy. I hope you are doing well.

Yesterday, Attorney General Eric Holder pledged to protect the first amendment rights of the media at a closed door, off-the-record meeting.

What about the First amendment rights of all the rest of America?

Like you said Jim, the Founders would have been shooting already.

Other than being Jewish, i wonder if Rosens parents have any particular ties to pro-Israel groups.

IOW if this First Amendment scandal and the IRS targeting conservative and Pro-Israel groups are intertwined...

Was this stated in the secret meeting the press wasn't allowed to quote or even speak directly about? And if they didn't attend they "forfeited" the right to complain?
