Fox News

[Pukin Dog]

Just announced on Fox News, the Justice Department is going to investigate leaks pertaining to Goverment Wiretapping and Security programs.

frog marched is being marched out in shackles.

So far, the strong RUMOR is that they know who did it and it is more than one person.

You betcha, more than one:

"Nearly a dozen current and former officials, who were granted anonymity because of the classified nature of the program, discussed it with reporters for The New York Times because of their concerns about the operation's legality and oversight."

"as I posted earlier, someone on fox said it will be 'off camera', though I'm not sure what that means, exactly?"

Darn..I just made popcorn...lol

[brivette]

You are 100 percent right. Again.

[hummingbird]

sounds like a few people are not going to have a Happy New Year...

That's just the icing on the cake! I hope this investigation immediately hits hard and long.

[mware]

nothing on fox news yet. I saw someone say on some thread that it was not going to be televised. Not sure if that is true or not.

[mystery-ak]

Probably just a statement...but I would love to see the AG announce it himself....scare the bejesus out of the rats...LOL

[texasbluebell]

Dem senators do seem to think they are above the law. A certain Mass. senator comes to mind. The rich DO have a different justice system, don't they.

Well, that one IS above the law apparently.

[Eagles Talon IV]

"Off Camera" I believe means in secret.

[hummingbird]

Treasonous bat-turds.

Oh, I like the sound of that...may I borrow it sometime? If not, then here is a "treasonous bat-turds" BUMP!

But we all know if this was about Valerie Lame and Fat Joe, the whole world would have it shoved down their throats.

Someone facing 20 to life in prison at age 50+ will do some drastic things including suicide. As far as assassination squads it's not out of the question but they maybe a bit more subtle in their methods now days.

Hang 'em high!

My bet is it was the Clinton Judge on the FISA panel that leaked it.

Remember, they keep referencing "numerous sources" and "current and former members of the intelligence community."

My bet is that a well known former member of the community, probably someone with a distinct Clintonista or Ramsey Clarke bent, was the original source and that folks like Judge James Robertson provided confirmation rather than being an original source. That doesn't mean that they weren't part of the original cabal plotting to damage US security interests, but they would have found a cut out to actually provide the initial feed to the news media.

Can you say Valerie Plame or Joe Wilson? I wonder if it's just a coincidence that they have just left the country?

My bet is it was the Clinton Judge on the FISA panel that leaked it.

Yeah, he's a prime candidate, but the NY Slimes originally said "nearly a dozeh" leakers.

At this point I'll bet dollars to donuts that the judge did not voluntarily "resign".

[DarthVader]

Fat Joe and Val have just been eclipsed.

[penelopesire]

I don't predict any dem/lib suicides. They don't have enough self respect or conscience for such a measure.

[clawrence3]

Press gaggles are off-camera.

[JerseyDvl]

Not for Chrissy frothing at the mouth Matthews.

[Carolinamom]

I'd like to see the AG leak the names of the leakers...sauce for the goose/gander.
