Attorney General Eric Holder said Tuesday that he isnt sure how many times hes seized reporters records.
Im not sure how many of those cases
I have actually signed off on, Holder said in an interview with NPRs Carrie Johnson. I take them very seriously. I know that I have refused to sign a few [and] pushed a few back for modifications.
Holders answer serves as confirmation that the Justice Departments secret seizure of The Associated Presss phone records is not an isolated incident.
Though the decision to subpoena information from media organizations normally falls to Holder, he insists that he recused himself from the AP case, leaving Deputy Attorney General James Cole to make the decision.

This maybe just the tip. AP was not the only news organization writing these stories. It will come out that other news outlets were also subject to this. This is why Holder says cannot remember how many records were seized.

He’s lying through his teeth. See? His mouth is moving. With a control freak like holder, nothing gets done without his say so, or the blessing of his master.

I had posed the question asking if AP was sure it had only been targeted for two months. The next question is obvious. Who else has been targeted? How deep is this iceberg?

Since Holder is an Obamadork selectee...he’s not sure of anything.
Because he hasn’t got a brain. (But he does have the requisite questionable background, quota achievements, and no morals.)
Problem is, there’s no wizard around to give the stupid idiot that darned brain - let alone any of the other things expected of a leader.

Way to prep for the day’s business, Eric. I guess the question was just so unexpected. LOL

Take a wild guess, Holder.
No one is demanding 100% accuracy. Was it 2, 3, 10? or was it 2 or 3 hundred?
Or has it been SINCE YOU BOZO’S TOOK OFFICE?

I’d like to know if Holder will resign when little bastard barry resigns. I mean, Holder’s job to protect the liar-in-chief as prime capo will be ended at that time ...
