(Author unknown.)

Scandalous indeed!

Then that would be a ‘yes’.

Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL): “You know, when government bureaucrats are sloppy they’re usually really sloppy. Want to just ask, could you assure to us that no phones inside the Capitol were monitored of members of Congress that would give a future executive branch, if they started pulling this kind of thing up, would give them unique leverage over the legislature?”

Eric Holder:  “With all due respect, senator, I don’t think this is an appropriate setting for me to discuss that issue. I’d be more than glad to come back in an appropriate setting to discuss the issues that you have raised, but in this open forum..

Kirk: “The correct answer would be, ‘No, we stayed within our lane and I’m assuring you we did not spy on members of Congress.”

Sleazy, evasive corrupt perjurer.

If you fell for Obama’s BS, the joke will be on you.

(CNET) –”For one thing, under an Obama presidency, Americans will be able to leave behind the era of George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and “wiretaps without warrants,” he said. (He was referring to the lingering legal fallout over reports that the National Security Agency scooped up Americans’ phone and Internet activities without court orders, ostensibly to monitor terrorist plots, in the years after the September 11 attacks.)”

H/T JWF
Another instance when Obama promised ‘no more wiretapping’:

“This administration also puts forward a false choice between the liberties we cherish and the security we provide. I will provide our intelligence and law enforcement agencies with the tools they need to track and take out the terrorists without undermining our Constitution and our freedom. That means no more illegal wiretapping of American citizens. No more national security letters to spy on citizens who are not suspected of a crime. No more tracking citizens who do nothing more than protest a misguided war. No more ignoring the law when it is inconvenient.”

You aint seen nothing yet…

Update:

And the NSA would never abuse its awesome surveillance power, right? Wrong. In 2008, NSA workers told ABC News that they routinely eavesdropped on phone sex between troops serving overseas and their loved ones in America. They listened in on both satellite phone calls and calls from the phone banks in Iraq’s Green Zone where soldiers call home. Former Navy Arab linguist, David Murfee Faulk described how a coworker would say, “Hey, check this out… there’s good phone sex or there’s some pillow talk, pull up this call, it’s really funny, go check it out.” Faulk explained they would gossip about the best calls during breaks. “It would be some colonel making pillow talk and we would say, ‘Wow, this was crazy.’”

If wiretapping occurred under the Bush admin, what makes you think it would never happen under Barack ‘Enemies List’ Obama with nefarious intentions. I mean ‘cmon! Think people, think.

Hypocrisy now!

Via Warner Todd Huston at Wizbang:

….Flash forward to 2013 and we have an Attorney General who has created the most politicized Department of Justice in history. Yet, today Obama has forgotten all about those high-minded concepts that an AG that should be “the people’s attorney” and is happily standing by his political enforcer, Eric Holder.

Now Obama is the President who has an AG that acts as his political enforcer, a man who does his job as if it is part of his boss’s political campaign instead of an autonomous office whose goal is to enforce the laws of the United States of America. Not only that, but we have an AG that is far and away more political with his actions than any AG in history.

Yet, Obama stands by this partisan hack even when members of his own party call for his resignation.[...]

Larry King: All right, the most important — I guess the major issue at hand these days is Alberto Gonzales’ firing of the U.S. attorneys.

What’s your read?

Senator Barack OBama: Well, I voted against Alberto Gonzales’ confirmation for precisely the reason that we’re seeing now. My–and I said this on the floor of the Senate–that although he seemed to be a capable attorney, he seemed to conceive of his role as being the president’s attorney instead of being the people’s attorney.

And part of the role of the attorney general is to say to the executive branch here are the limits of your power. Here are the things that you can’t do.

I don’t think Alberto Gonzales ever told the president that there was something he could not do.

And so, as a consequence, when the White House decides that a–a U.S. attorney is not carrying out the political vendettas of the White House, then there are some questions as to whether Gonzales was encouraged to fire these individuals.

You’ve got a situation in terms of the FBI where the procedures used for issuing national security letters seemed to have been completely sloppy and based on erroneous fact. There doesn’t seem to be any oversight there.

What you get a sense of is a–an attorney general who saw himself as an enabler of the administration as opposed to somebody who was actually trying to look out for the American people’s interests.

And for that reason, I think it’s time for him to step down and for another attorney general who can exercise some independence to be put for the reminder of this president’s term.

Isn’t that rich…

(NBC) –Attorney General Eric Holder signed off on a controversial search warrant that identified Fox News reporter James Rosen as a “possible co-conspirator” in violations of the Espionage Act and authorized seizure of his private emails, a law enforcement official told NBC News on Thursday.

The disclosure of the attorney general’s role came as President Barack Obama, in a major speech on his counterterrorism policy, said Holder had agreed to review Justice Department guidelines governing investigations that involve journalists.

“I am troubled by the possibility that leak investigations may chill the investigative journalism that holds government accountable,” Obama said. “Journalists should not be at legal risk for doing their jobs.”
……
A Justice Department spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Department of Justice later issued a statement about the review of media guidelines: “This review is consistent with Attorney General Holder’s long-standing belief that freedom of the press is essential to our democracy,” it said. “At the same time, the attorney general believes that leaks of classified information damage our national security and must be investigated using appropriate law enforcement tools.  We remain steadfast in our commitment to following all laws and regulations intended to safeguard national security as well as the First Amendment interests of the press in reporting the news and the public in receiving it.”
……
It also said that Google was specifically instructed not to notify “the subscriber” — Rosen — that his emails were being seized.

In new documents disclosed Thursday, the Justice Department sought and obtained approval to keep the search warrant, which was approved by a federal magistrate, under seal. It was unsealed in November 2011, but never made a part of the docket of Kim’s case and went unnoticed until this week.[...]

Update: Ed Morrissey asks “Did Eric Holder lie in Congressional testimony last week?”

That’s the question asked by Katie Pavlich and Jim Hoft after the revelation that Attorney General Eric Holder personally approved the application for a warrant on Fox News’ James Rosen as a potential co-conspirator in espionage.  Last week, under relatively friendly questioning from Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) about the Department of Justice seizure of Associated Press phone records, Johnson asked about the potential to prosecute reporters under the Espionage Act of 1917.  ”You’ve got a long way to go to try to prosecute the press for publication of material,” Holder responded.  Later, though, he returned to the topic unbidden, emphasis mine (at the 5-minute mark):

“In regard to potential prosecution of the press for the disclosure of material. This is not something I’ve ever been involved in, heard of, or would think would be wise policy.” ~ Eric Holder

Morrissey continues:

As it turns out, Holder not only heard of it, he personally approved it.  The warrant in the Rosen case specified that he was considered a potential suspect in the leak of classified material, the reason that the DoJ didn’t bother to follow the existing Watergate-era statute in coordinating the records request with Fox News.  And note that Holder’s testimony in this case wasn’t produced by some sophisticated perjury trap sprung by a Republican, but as a freely-offered representation to no particular question during the question period of a Democrat.

There is no other way to view this except as a lie.  Even if Holder wasn’t under oath, that would constitute a felony punishable by up to five years in prison.  It certainly should produce at least a resignation, and almost assuredly would require the appointment of a special prosecutor, especially since the next person down in the organization, James Cole, is suspected of doing the same thing with reporters. [...]

Much, much more here.

Trey Hardin: “I will tell you this on the IRS front. I’ve worked in this town for over 20 years in the White House and on Capitol Hill and I can say with a very strong sense of certainty that there are people very close to this president that not only knew what the IRS were doing but authorized it. It simply just does not happen at an agency level like that without political advisers likely in the West Wing certainly connected to the president’s ongoing campaign organization.”
