The Link Between Benghazi and the Justice Dept AP Scandal

It struck me as I listened to the auther of the "Morning Jolt" Mr. Gerraghty talking to Hugh Hewitt that one important link connects the Benghazi Scandal to the AP Scandal. When Mr. Gerraghty was saying that with over 20 news cell phones coming under investigation by our Justice Dept, it would effectively discourage "whistleblowers" from coming forward to the Press" Well, after last Wednesday Congressmen were calling for exactly that to happen "whistleblowers and eyewitnesses of the Benghazi Massacre were asked, no begged to come forth and tell what they know and saw and heard".

So, you ask yourself "here we have one day a calling out for whistleblowers and very nearly the next day, it is a full-blown scandal that the Justice Dept has been getting phone records. Imagine if you ARE one of the 32 who lived through the Benghazi scandal, and you were thinking about coming forward after seeing the testimony of those 3 brave men on Wednesday. Just while you are even picking up the phone to call your lawyer out comes this report about the US Justice Dept - Eric Holder (think FAST and FURIOUS now) has been obtaining PHONE records from ASSOCIATED PRESS members at the White House?

Yeah....it puts Whistleblowers on NOTICE doesn't it...which was why the thought popped into my head "This is NO cooincidence that it comes out NOW...Somebody up at the top is scared of WHO MIGHT YET speak out ABOUT BENGHAZI.

I think the Obama Titanic may just have skimmed a little to close to THIS Iceberg!

I think you’re right on the money. But, the horse has already left the barn.

I don't think whistleblowers are going to AP or any other Obama-friendly press. They are going directly to friendly elements in Congress.

That said, I applaud you for seeking connections. Keep up the good work.

The Truth is Out There.

It's hilarious that Obamatollah's crew (Jarrett and Axelrod) decided "Oh, let's scare everybody by announcing we're spying on AP's phones."

Haven't they realized anybody CIA, State Dept, or Military would probably be smart enough to buy a disposable cellphone, or dial from some public phone?

Who the hell decides "Today, I'm gonna blow the whistle on Omoslem, and I'm gonna do this from my HOME PHONE!"

The point is not that the whistleblowers would go to the press. The point is that the Justice Department taps anyone and everyone deemed a threat to the administration. And if that doesn’t work, an Obamathug might be necessary to rough someone up. Or worse.

I agree with your every word...but the thread is about linkage between AP (the Press), intimidation, and whistleblowers.

The whistleblowers have come forward only as the case (Benghazi) has gained steam in Congress...and they don't come to the Press (even though I am sure some have considered contacting Sharyl Attkisson at CBS).

Honestly I don’t think that’s the connection. The secret lies in the fact that the AP taps involved YEMEN. There is something involved in al-Qaeda/Yemen that I think is related to Benghazi-—either a primary suspect that knew about Obama’s gun running, or some other thread that hasn’t been discovered yet.

I wonder how many whistle-blowers have gone to the media only to have the story spiked and their identity revealed to the Gestapo agents at the DoJ.

The connection is the fact that the Obama Administration from the top on down to the upper mid-level have had one primary imperative.

Cover up all attempted Islamic terrorist attacks.

That is why they altered the Benghazi talking points.

That is why they secretly accessed the AP phone logs.

That is why they .........
