This will tick off ALL news orgs. It could be AP today, “me” tomorrow. If D-friendly AP is treated this way by Obama’s DOJ, what’s to stop a future DOJ under a future R POTUS from being subjected to the same treatment Say a future Nixon going after WaPo reporters’ phone calls/emails.

I’d like to know what judge signed off on letting DOJ have this info and under what law(s).

Yes, that will certainly be interesting.

If it had been Fox News, the other news organizations would just shrug their shoulders and give a minimal amount of coverage to the story. But now that it's one of their own, they just may decide that Obama has got to go.
