Justice Department going after leakers! - Fox News

Fox News

[Pukin Dog]

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

[fabriclady]

"But will it be a serious investigation?"

Better be.
The dems will be screaming and crying.
Let's don't let up, email your Congressman, it is not that far from election time. Let them know we are watching.

[Phsstpok]

So did the leaks come from Congress, the Pentagon, or the deep dark bowels of the CIA? Got any suggestions?

All of the above, and you left out State.

There are Clintonistas and members of "the permanent bureaucracy opposed to Bush at all costs" at all levels of the Federal government. Leaks could come from them wherever they are, FAA, FBI, Postal Service, but in this case only those four, Congress, Pentagon (where NSA nominally reports), CIA and State are likely to have had sufficient knowledge of the program to provide the specifics to the traitors at the New York Times and WaPo.

I'll bump to that big time.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it refers to their retreat before they surrender.

[Pukin Dog]

Naw, the Dems dont know crap.

It came from our side of the aisle.

[ErnBatavia]

Probably.

The best thing would have been obtaining some warrants for raids and catching some staffers off guard (or already home for New Years).

[colorcountry]

Some -- including Rush IIRC -- suspect that judge who resigned from the FISA court was one of them.

Leave it to Rush to makes sense out of this.

Raid them during their New Year's Eve cocktail party!

[toast]

I'll take bets on how long before they are called "whisleblowers".

[rightinthemiddle]

The government bureaucrats (who are almost all Democrats) look for every opportunity to subvert Bush's and the military efforts in the WOT, with leaks and sabotage from within. The liberal media are their willing accomplices.

It is Treason.

[DCPatriot]

I liked the other explanation....donning leg irons and hopping instead of walking.

[Steel Wolf]

"I want to see some Journalists FROG MARCHED!"

I want to see certain congressmen FLOGGED!

How about a compromise? We'll have the journalists and congressmen flog-marched! Flogging them while they're being frog marched may not be a very timely way to move them, but I'd certainly find it cathartic.

[italianquaker]

what about the quisling rat senators

[sageb1]

Good!

I just wrote the following on a related thread:

The problem as I see it is this: These major newspapers and their journalists do not see themselves as U.S. publications. Rather, they view themselves as global operations with loyalties to "the world," not to the United States. In their eyes, nationalism should not exist. If there are no feelings of nationalism, then there is also no need for patriotism. To be patriotic is to be nationalistic. To be nationalistic is a form of global treason, so you and I are the ones guilty of treason, not them. This is their mindset and it presents a real danger to all of us.

[purpleland]

"So what exactly protects journalists from prosecution for leaking classified materials? And what exactly immunizes them from revealing their sources that comprimise national security?"

SO JUST WHY IN HELL DO JOURNALISTS RECEIVE CLASSIFIED INFORMATION IN THE FIRST PLACE!?!?!?!?!?!?!? WHY?

[texasbluebell]

Overdue! But better late than never.

[Dark Skies]

When "frog-march" (also sometimes called "the frog's march") first appeared as slang around 1871, it meant to carry a prisoner (or a drunk being ejected from a bar) face down, with each of four husky men holding an arm or leg. The term comes from the resemblance the recipient of the procedure bears to a frog with its limbs splayed out. Today, however, "frog march" is usually used to mean the less dramatic (but equally effective) method of forcibly propelling a prisoner forward while pinning his arms behind him.

The wagons are circling as we speak. I'm sure all the MSM cell phones are ringing off the hook.
