AP aided and abetted the coup d’etat and now does not
appear to like the “new transparency”.

This is bad.

I haven’t heard a peep from FOX about any action they’re going to take.

I pray Sharyl Attkisson tells “the rest of the story” ASAP.

They will have to go to the White Hut for another off the record session to hear how to spin this to the general public.

Good. I hope the good GEO and his loyal employees feel the full effect of what they empowered. Since we couldn’t trust them to do their jobs, I want front row seats to the day these useful idiots are lined up in the historical manner.

People got what they asked for. Since I can’t stop it I may as well revel in their shock and awe.

The idiot has been promoting fascism for thirty years and then acts surprised when he gets it from the receiving end.

“What I learned from our journalists should alarm everyone in this room and I think should alarm everyone in this country."

I think this is an opportunity for the media to get a good taste of what it is like to be a conservative.

Maybe they will see who really cares about this country and who just wants power at any cost.

To every government employee who knows something critical to these investigations and isn’t talking.. YOU’RE ALL A BUNCH OF COWARDS FOR SELLING AMERICA OUT FOR YOUR LOUSY PAYCHECK.

The AP phone record subpoenas weren't about national security. The hidden intent was to identify government employees who were AP confidential sources for a whole range of issues. Likewise, Eric Holder's subpoena of FOX News/James Rosen records was a search ordered by Obama to find out who in the White House was talking off-the-record to FOX News.
Obama, a megalomaniac, was obsessed with FOX News.

The best part of this article comes at the end:

"During a question-and-answer session after his speech, Pruitt said he did not believe the Obama administration has had a different relationship with the press than past administrations, but he said that the Obama administration’s aggressive attempts to prosecute leakers have put the administration’s view of the press front and center."

They have the same relationship, except for the prosecutions? Imagine this:


Area Man Says This Relationship is No Different

Bob says his relationship with Sally is no different than the relationships he had with his previous girlfriends; but he said that Sally's numerous attempts to have him arrested and put in jail have put her views of the relationship front and center.

“What I learned from our journalists should alarm everyone in this room and I think should alarm everyone in this country. The actions of the DOJ against AP are already having an impact beyond the specifics of this particular case,” AP CEO Gary Pruitt told an audience at the National Press Club. “Some of our longtime trusted sources have become nervous and anxious about talking to us, even about stories that aren’t about national security.

The AP's learning what it's like to be on the wrong side of elite democrats.

It's not pretty.

Next Gary Pruitt will discover what it's like to be dubbed 'extreme' by these same elites... and the power that word carries. That 'word' means the FBI and IRS will start checking him out. He's a possible domestic terrorist when that label's applied.

Slowly Pruitt will understand why Obama wanted droans to be able to kill American citizens without due process. It has nothing to do with the few foreign 'Americans' in alqaeda - and everything to do with a 'nose under the tent' goal of killing 'extremists' in the US... "Extremist" being defined as people who don't agree with elite liberals in power... a person like Pruitt.

Pruitt will start to fear... others will start to pull away from him.

Many people wish they could have lived in a time when people could be heroic. When the challenges were great and the risks high. Gary Pruitt's going to have that opportunity... he's having it right now. We wish him well.

PS I'm proud of the AP and of Gary Pruitt.

Well, well, well. The media is losing its sources because Obama has them muzzled.

Hey Gary Pruitt, who did you vote for in the last two presidential elections?

the Department of Justice has succeeded in muzzling government employees from talking to AP reporters in the weeks since the seizure of AP phone records was revealed.

This is why a special prosecutor has to be appointed. He can guarantee privacy and immunity and protect the witnesses.
