Holder Personally OK'd Fox Reporter's Warrant

[Reub]

"President Barack Obama's Justice Department is defending the decision by Attorney General Eric Holder to sign off on the search warrant used to gain access to Fox News reporter James Rosen's emails, according to the news organization.

The warrant named Rosen a "possible co-conspirator" in violation of the Espionage Act for obtaining leaked classified information from a Pentagon source. Rosen has not been charged."

"The revelation of Holder's involvement came on the same day Obama said in a speech that he had ordered Holder to review the Justice Department's standards for investigating cases that involve journalists.

"I am troubled by the possibility that leaked investigations may chill the investigative journalism that holds government accountable," Obama said in the speech. "Journalists should not be at legal risk for doing their jobs."

Well it's good to know that our Prez is troubled by the actions of his own Attorney General whom he supports to the fullest.

Who said that you can't have it both ways?

"Place" Holder is the worst AG in my lifetime.  Some have observed that a great leader surrounds himself/herself with great people.  If that's true, Obama is clearly, and sadly, not a great leader.

I wonder if we'll have another Bushesque "Brownie, you're doing a helluva job!" moment. What a joke. The only reason Obama supports the asshat instead of canning his sorry ass is that he is pathologically incapable of accepting responsibility and knows it will reflect poorly on him.
