What do you suppose the odds are that The Washington Post will have its phone lines, its reporters' phone lines, its reporters' relatives' phone lines traced and tapped as a result of this article?

The FOX News case goes back to 2009, the AP case goes back a year. Holder did everything he could to keep FOX and AP in the dark about these “investigations.” Holder apparently believed he could suppress the FOX News subpoena documents indefinitely or he wouldn't have perjured himself in front of Congress ten days ago answering questions about the AP case. And I think he thought until this month he could keep the AP documents sealed by repeatedly going back to the judge and citing national security.

They used these espionage cases as an excuse to go through phone and email records to identify confidential sources working in the government leaking to the media a variety of information—sometimes unfavorable to the administration. I think Obama was obsessed with finding out who, if anyone, in the White House was talking to FOX. He hates FOX so at the earliest opportunity the DOJ acted.

So, in time we might find out that the DOJ has already snooped through the phone records of the Post and every other news outfit in D.C. And whatever the DOJ does under the cover of the law there are private entities connected to the DNC, the leftist super-PAC’s and big labor with the resources to snoop, smear and intimidate outside the law.
