While only now coming to light, the DOJ reportedly seized phone records of at least 20 AP journalists over an extended period of time without proper procedures.

The big brother tyranny is from Obama and his IRS.

I tend to believe he didn’t know anything about the IRS thing.

His people were doing that for him on their own probably.

It still has to be taken care of properly, and properly means getting rid of the guilty.

I will wait to see that ha ha.

If a crime was committed, then go get a warrant specifying what the offense was, who you believe committed it, what your probable cause it, and specifically what you intend to search. Then search that thoroughly. But the Fourth and Fifth Amendments don’t allow this kind of sweeping search.
