Five questions about the AP surveillance

Um. Coincidences in politics? Why now? Why the Friday dumps? Why all at once?

The left had pre-prepared talking points for all of this, and IMO, it was designed to overwhelm the congressional minority that could handle the volume, and create a screen play for amnesty. Keeps the lapdawg media busy with covering the nasty GOPs attacks on St Zero, as well as their gored ox AP phone taps. Well played actually.

I think they miscalculated the backlash from the public, and the press however. Hope it’s enough.

A little here, a little there all week long. We’ve been commenting here at FR about what a bad week it’s been for Obama, and today’s revelations about match the rest of the week. Seems like more today, but I think it’s because of the Congressional hearing that was today. Gives the illusion of more activity than it was.

I hope your observation about the backlash Press/public is correct also. I think it is. We shall see.

[The leaker needs to be charged with treason, and if it means that the AP call records were seized (only with a warrant), then so be it.]

I agree. But I think the leaker worked in the White House. This foiled Yemeni bomb plot was the latest in a series of leaks aimed at inflating Obama. It and the Sustex computer virus story were particularly egregious because intel projects of foreign allies were exposed. Tom Donilon was the chief suspect. With news media accusing the White House and members of Congress talking about a special prosecutor Obama told Holder to investigate. Or go through the motions, since they knew all along who leaked.

Yes, indeed, we shall see.

T’was a tip of the hat, and a nod.

Our Lord has not forsaken us. What lessons are we to learn?

What lessons indeed!

A picture is worth a thousand words---Chinese proverb

Did DOJ grab 60 Minutes/CBS' Steve Kroft's emails?

BACKSTORY After Hillary huffily told Congress "What difference does it make," she and O were shortly thereafter sitting with 60/Min's Steve Kroft. O looked lovingly at Hillary (stupidly thinking she had saved his *** on Benghazi). O told Kroft she was "the best" secy of state we ever had.

Did O maneuver himself and Hillary on 60 Min? Does Kroft have emails from O? Did O's admin produce the segment? Did CBS and Kroft acquiesce in the setup---- to allow O to manipulate public opinion on Benghazi? .....Obama knew the horrific inside details at the time of the 60/Min interview---as the facts clearly show now----so then the entire Kroft interview was a lie. What does Kroft say now, knowing he was lied to?

The breathtaking aspect of the O scandals is that they uncover rot in all the old familiar places we already suspected rot existed.

BOTTOM LINE We need to know whether Holder/DOJ grabbed Kroft's emails---and all other communications from O to CBS, etc.
