I’ve always said, “If you want to know what liberals are up to, just pay attention to what they accuse conservatives of doing.”
Liberals, for years now, have accused conservatives of being an angry, violent mob.
Compare and contrast Tea Party rallies with those of liberals, socialist unions which support liberals and the Occupy movement.
Enter the abuse of power, via the Department of Justice under this corrupt administration relating to Fox News reporter, James Rosen.
In 2010, Eric, “Fast and Furious” Holder’s Department of Justice obtained private emails and phone records of James Rosen. They also obtained the emails and phone records of the PARENTS of James Rosen.
The cover for these actions was to build a case against Stephen Jin-Woo Kim, an accused leaker of classified information but…That’s hardly where it ends.
The Justice Department, in order to obtain the court order FOR those email and phone records from Rosen and his parents, ACCUSED ROSEN OF BEING A CO-CONSPIRATOR IN ESPIONAGE!!!!!
If you want to know what liberals are up to, just pay attention to what they accuse conservatives of doing.
It was ALSO deemed necessary to…KEEP THE PROBE OF ROSEN SECRET…SO THAT ROSEN WOULD HAVE NO OPPORTUNITY TO DEFEND HIMSELF…IN CASE THEY NEEDED TO FURTHER PROBE HIS, AND HIS PARENT’S EMAILS AND/OR PHONE RECORDS.
It gets worse.
HOLDER SENT HIS MINION, Ronald C. Machen Jr., the U.S.. Attorney in charge of investigation and litigation of criminal and civil cases on behalf of the United States in the District of Columbia, TO SHOP FOR A FEDERAL JUDGE WILLING TO ISSUE THE WARRANT AND KEEP IT UNDER WRAPS.
Separately, 2 different federal judges TURNED DOWN THE REQUESTED WARRANT.
One, Judge John M. Facciola, wrote in his dissenting opinion, “The subscriber therefore will never know, by being provided a copy of the warrant, for example, that the government secured a warrant and searched the contents of her e-mail account.”
A 3rd Judge, Royce C. Lamberth, the chief judge in the Federal District Court for the District of Columbia, finally agreed to the secrecy terms and Rosen was never told of the warrant.
To obtain those email and phone records of James Rosen and his parents…THE FBI…UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT…CITED THE ESPIONAGE ACT OF 1917.
I’ll get back to THAT shortly.
Okay…Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago.
Eric Holder was sitting in front of a house committee being questioned, UNDER OATH, regarding the Justice Department’s spying on the Associated Press.
I’ll spare you the lengthy questions and show you a partial list of Holder’s answers.
“I was not the person involved in that decision. I was recused in that matter.”
“I am not familiar with the reasons why the subpoena was constructed in the way that it was because I’m simply not a part of the case.”
“I do not know, however, with regard to this particular case, why that was or was not done.”
“I simply do not have a factual basis for answering that question.”
“Again, Mr. Chairman, I don’t know.”
“I assume he was, but I don’t know.”
“I don’t know what has happened in this matter.”
“This is both an ongoing matter and an ongoing matter about which I know nothing.”
Really? He didn’t know…ANYTHING about…ANYTHING???
That alone would have been enough to doubt his statements but Holder wasn’t done.
Rep. Hank Johnson, himself a bit of an idiot who once thought that the island of Guam would CAPSIZE should all its residents gather on one side of it, questioned Holder regarding…THE ESPIONAGE ACT OF 1917.
Remember what the Justice Department accused James Rosen OF??? REMEMBER WHAT THE FBI CITED TO OBTAIN THE EMAILS AND PHONE RECORDS OF JAMES ROSEN AND HIS PARENTS???
Okay…So…Holder’s response became a BOMBSHELL.
“Well, I would say this. With regard to the potential prosecution of the press for the disclosure of material, that is not something that I’ve ever been involved in, heard of or would think would be a wise policy. In fact, my view is quite the opposite.”
Well, well… “that is not something that I’ve ever been involved in, heard of or would think would be a wise policy. In fact, my view is quite the opposite,” huh???
I rather doubt that comes as much of a comfort to James Rosen or his parents.
Just a couple of days later, guess what hit the fan? That’s right…Holders line of crap.
It was revealed that not only was Holder INVOLVED in what he claims would be an UNWISE policy…
HE WAS SO INTIMATELY INVOLVED IN IT THAT HE, HOLDER, WAS THE ONE WHO SIGNED OFF ON THE SEARCH WARRANT REQUEST!!!!!
So…Did Holder LIE to the congressional committee?
THAT is now the subject of yet ANOTHER congressional investigation.
Holder WILL claim that he had NO intention of ever PROSECUTING James Rosen and therefore, since he told congress that “With regard to the potential prosecution of the press for the disclosure of material, that is not something that I’ve ever been involved in…” he DIDN’T lie but THAT would be ignoring the REST of his statement…” heard of or would think would be a wise policy. In fact, my view is quite the opposite.”
If, indeed, Holder attempts THAT line of implausible reasoning, it would open up yet ANOTHER can of worms. Why exactly would Holder ACCUSE Rosen of ESPIONAGE if he had NO intention of prosecuting???
He OBVIOUSLY had HEARD of it…He OBVIOUSLY thought it WAS a wise policy and his view is OBVIOUSLY directly in line WITH it because HE…HOLDER…SIGNED THE SEARCH WARRANT REQUEST FOR IT.
So yes…HE LIED TO CONGRESS.
But why was any of this, the AP spying and the James Rosen document grab perpetrated to begin with?
No…NOT to intimidate REPORTERS rather, to intimidate their SOURCES.
If sources or…WHISTLE-BLOWERS…are aware that they could be OUTED by THUGS from within this corrupt administration, they are more than likely to clam up and not spill what could be devastatingly damaging TO the administration.
There is no other plausible reason to go after those who simply REPORT the news OTHER than to issue a blanket warning to their sources.
Obama, the Dictator, must be absolutely beside himself with fright right about now.
HIS Attorney General…HIS PROTECTOR and HIS THUG ENFORCER…Eric, “Fast and Furious” Holder…ALREADY found to be in CONTEMPT of congress for refusing to turn over subpoenaed documents IN the Fast and Furious investigation…IS NOW GUILTY OF PERJURY and there is simply no way Holder can remain in office.
Even liberals, desperate to toss ANYBODY under the bus in a desperate attempt to protect Obama are now calling for the resignation of Eric Holder and I contend that Holder WILL be gone by the 4th of July.
If it’s found, by the house committee, that Holder did indeed commit perjury, he’ll be gone a lot faster than that.
Given this whole abuse of power, not only against the Associated Press but specifically against James Rosen and his parents, appointing someone from INSIDE the current Department of Justice to fill Holder’s position would most likely be a STEEP uphill climb considering the corruption imbedded within.
Now, in what can ONLY be described as an INSANE ACT OF ASS COVERING STUPIDITY…The Dictator has appointed Eric Holder to investigate any possible wrong doing by…ERIC HOLDER…regarding the James Rosen abuse of power.
There can be little doubt that, after Holder’s INTENSIVE investigation into HOLDER’S misdeeds, HOLDER will find that HOLDER should have read the warrant request more carefully and that some underling, who SHOULD have ALERTED Holder FAILED to do so but there was NO intention of wrong-doing on HOLDER’S part.
The Dictator already went all in when he assigned Executive Privilege to protect Holder from accountability in the Fast and Furious investigation and he can’t play the same cards twice. Holder will NOT be covered by EP again.
Obama is about to lose his thug in the Justice Department and he knows it. Along with Hillary, his partner in crime will NOT survive this round and will be forced to resign. Obama will publicly announce that HE asked for the resignation, a move that in his mind, will make it seem as though he has some heretofore unknown zero tolerance policy on corruption.
Should any charges be filed against the FORMER Attorney General, expect the Dictator to issue a pardon before HE is forced from office himself.
Eric Holder swore this oath of office: “I, Eric Holder do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”
The 1st Amendment, a part of the Constitution Holder swore to uphold and defend reads, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
In the case of Eric Holder vs James Rosen…Holder USED his position as the nation’s TOP LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER to FALSELY ACCUSE James Rosen of ESPIONAGE in order to obtain the email and phone records OF A MEMBER OF THE PRESS AND THAT MAN’S PARENTS… And then…LIED…UNDER OATH…BEFORE A CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATIVE COMMITTEE… ABOUT DOING SO.
Holder’s reign as Obama’s enforcer of failed policies and accomplice in high crimes and misdemeanors…IS OVER!!!
Facebook also prohibits “hate speech,” which it defines as “direct and serious attacks on any protected category of people based on their race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, disability or disease.”
So, if you’re not in any “protected” category then just suck it up.
Holder was held in contempt and what happens? Nothing. As a matter of fact, I have held him in contempt since the New Black Panthers incident. And I remember about 15 years ago when a high (actually, highest) ranking official was found to have committed perjury. And democrats did nothing. But Holder’s problem is that he is Obama’s Spiro Agnew. Someone, of note, will have to fall on their sword.
I just tried to post this on my wall and was blocked and punished by facebook for trying. Im guessing something was offensive to them in this blog/site. Just thought Id give you a heads up. Im now blocked until tomorrow.
I got a little huffy with them so I may not be allowed back on at all.
LOL
Doesnt matter in the end. Obama will just appoint another as vile as Holder. Even if Obama were impeached, we would still be stuck with Biden. But let justice be done, one treasonous traitor at a time.
Well I certainly HOPE you’re right, HE GONE!! But considering the way this whole administration gets away with murder, and then be so smug and arrogant about it, will believe when I see anything at all happen to these thugs!
I sure hope that you are correct! What will be MORE telling is if he is NOT removed from office!
