Let me see, turned down by two judges, goes to a third, highly unethical. Then they allegedly told Fox News about the subpeonas but Fox has no record of being told. Methinks we have the makings of a case against Mr. Holder. And not to forget, his excellency put Holder in charge of looking into this problem. Seems to me his excellency should go too as an accessory or in common parlence, a cover up artist.
The original New Yorker story, on which this Gateway Pundit "recap" is based, provides the pertinent information. The Gateway Pundit recap is poorly written. The first "two judges" were magistrate judges; Judge Lambeth is a U.S. district court judge.
There is nothing "unethical" about DOJ's appealing to a U.S. district court judge an order of a magistrate judge with which it disagrees. That's how the process works. Simply put, there was no "judge shopping" here.
