Government Secretly Obtained AP's Phone Records

[jsteele]

According to this article:

http://bigstory.ap.org/article/govt-obtains-wide-ap-phone-records-probe

The Obama Administration was essentially spying on the Associated Press, secretly obtaining telephone records in response to an article about a CIA operation to stop a terrorist attack originating in Yemen.

The Obama Administration's continual spying and even assassination of Americans have been things that I have frequently criticized. Unfortunately, liberals seem to go along with it because they trust Obama and conservatives go along with it because they think it only affects Arabs and Muslims. Now, maybe people will realize this is worth some attention.

To all of you outraged by Benghazi and the IRS, I submit that this is far more serious. When the government spies on it citizens without impunity, we are not living in the country we thought we were.

No, it's more like we are not living with the presidency that the progressive media had been portraying. That fact is finally starting to penetrate even the thickest skulls. Some of us, however, were never deceived.

It started under bush and continues today.

HACK ALERT!

Jeff could not have written this. Jeff the guy who earlier today scrubbed Obamacare Outreach Shakedown, yet another ring on fire in the circus.

Whoever wrote it -- I agree it is much more serious.

Could you guys at least get Valerie Jarett to do the Presidential Press Conferences? It was embarassing today to watch the Ringmaster In Chief unaware that the IRS has already confessed.

[Anonymous]

Agree. This is a very disturbing story. It has far reaching implications.

What is the combined weight of Obama, Clinton and Holder and what diameter branch would support that weight?

It's interesting that when we have a controversy that is generating bipartisan outrage elsewhere, on DCUM the right-wing hacks can only make jokes. Do you guys have any idea why we don't take you seriously?

As for the idiot that thinks I "scrubbed" his message, there is an existing thread on the topic from several days ago. Don't blame me if you are behind on the news.

See if you can get a spot with the circcus. FYI, the Ringmaster In Chief seemed unaware today that the IRS has already confessed. The jerk used the word if.

This thread is about the government obtaining phone records of the Associated Press. If you are not interested in that topic, please refrain from posting.

US Attorneys have to jump through hoops to get approval for wire taps. This is BIG.

I said wire taps. I guess they just got phone records. But, still..........

What's so bad about it? If AP has nothing to hide, then they have nothing to fear - not from the Obama administration anyway. Besides, the constitution is an out dated document written by a bunch of dead white guys; do we even need it now that Obama is president? It ought to be a flexible living document in this case.

I saw the same story here. It is disturbing. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/13/ap-phone-records-government-intrusion-unprecedented_n_3268569.html?icid=maing-grid7%7Cmaing6%7Cdl1%7Csec1_lnk2%26pLid%3D312508
