Judge apologizes for lack of transparency in James Rosen leak probe
Washington Post ^ | 5/22/13 | Ann E. Marimow

The chief judge of the District’s federal court issued an unusual order Wednesday, apologizing to the public and the media for not making certain court documents widely available online. The gesture of transparency by U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth comes at a time when the Obama administration is under scrutiny for an unprecedented number of leak investigations, including one showing that the Justice Department had secretly probed the news-gathering activities of Fox News reporter James Rosen. The investigation of Rosen was first reported Monday, after The Washington

Da comrade chief judge.

I heard that after he redacted all of that information... there were a few adverbs, adjectives and nouns present but that they are randomly displayed throughout pages.

Royce Lamberth and Eric Holder have some history. Back in the days of Bill Clinton’s scandals, Holder represented the White House in Lamberth’s court while Judicial Watch was trying to get documents from the White House to prove they had committed various crimes.

Lamberth several times ordered Holder to deliver the requested documents, and in every case, Holder disregarded the judge’s decree. Holder should have gone to jail, and been disbarred, but Lamberth let him slide. As far as I know, no one was punished for disregarding the judge’s orders.

It was a very frustrating time. We all knew the President was dirty. There were several scandals brewing, much like today. Judicial Watch would post the judge’s decisions on their web site so people could read them for themselves. But nothing ever came of any of it.

The producer who was also targeted was named Levin Also Wm Lagenes

Also main fox office in NYC and DC bureau

Rosen was the primary target because he was head of the DC bureau. By targeting him they included ALL who report to him. Which would include all FOX reporter who work in DC
Levin is one of the producers there
Just think who else that includes and the stories they are working on !!!

[Lamberth blamed a series of administrative errors and said a review of the “performance of the personnel involved is underway.”]

A lot of these lately.

Seems like a big coincidence that his document problems happened conveniently on this case.

I smell a massive conspiracy.
