Why would the liberal news media break this AP phone scandal at the exact time the IRS scandal is breaking?

you think this is coincidence?

NO it’s to draw conservative fire away from the IRS scandal and to distract from the IRS scandal

I’m sorry but that sentenced

‘has no problem without letting the Associated Press answer the charges of a leak endangering national security’

is giving me a headache. I’m trying to process it in my brain and it’s not computing.

There is a “drug dealer” in the neighborhood. This is very serious, bad for the neighborhood. We don’t know who it is so we will record all outgoing calls of the people who live in the neighborhood to find out who the drug dealer is! Whoever gets the most calls must surely be the dealer. Brilliant!

I just read where Holdout’s IRS harassed Billy and Franklin Graham.Symbols of a little good left in America. I have no words for this, except is it TIME yet?

“Today at a Department Of Justice press conference Attorney General Eric Holder said he has no problem without letting the Associate Press answer the charges of a leak endangering national security.”

I’ve read this sentence over and oever and still can’t figure out what it means.

Attorney General Eric Holder is concerned someone might be endangering national security.

Meanwhile a conga-line of millions of people entering the U.S. illegally continues...with legal immigration being a free for all for anyone to enter...

Even the Boston Bombing terrorist and their families collected 100s of thousands in tax paid prizes, gifts, meals and various other tax paid goodies.

Yet Holder is concerned about national security?

These people needed to be pulled out of their offices and criminally prosecuted and made examples of.

keats5 ~: “Today at a Department Of Justice press conference Attorney General Eric Holder said he has no problem without letting the Associate Press answer the charges of a leak endangering national security.”

It means that Holder has No Answer
and he is shifting the burden of proof to Associate Press
to respond to the allegation that “ a leak endangered national security.”
No question was directed to AP regarding a leak ..
therefore, it is a ‘non sequiteur’
The key question is ‘does this leak that you are alledging , have anything to do with Benghazi “ ??
The AP breaking a story prior to release by DOD is a cover-story , a ‘false flag issue’
The “Just-Us” Dept. is looking for leaks on Benghazi’
especially by the 30+ State Dept. employeees who know what REALLY WENT ON IN BENGHAZI
The bombing information release is a cover story to get the real information ..

And by the way, just what did they learn from the AP probe? Find anything? Or was this just another case of government run amok, tearing up the place, shooting the dog (figuratively speaking), and then saying “oh, never mind” or “wrong house, sorry”

It is a issue to uncover potential “whistleblower” leaks regarding Benghazi
and determine who may be weakening, and now may be willing
to report their obsevations to the press .

The number of people who could have leaked this information is limited. Had Holder polygraphed the National Security Council and their staff he would have found the AP source by now.

The national security breech crisis was one the White House decided they couldn't waste. They could use it as the rational to send a chilling message to the press. And they could use the telephonic record to make a list of all AP’s Washington sources and retaliate when unfavorable stories appear.

What's really scary for the affected AP personnel is that they don't know how far investigators might have delved and continue to delve into both their professional and personal lives.

They speak in pretzel logic. Without a script, BO does not use grammar rules, just emotion. And it works with his base.

The high schoolers around here beg me not to fast forward when he comes on, they are very brave.

Nevertheless, we all end up mouth breathing, shaking our heads.

His followers are watching and hearing, but there is no there there; only what they want to think he is saying.

He says nothing most of the time.

I had to break the quote down and add from a recent awareness report of his recusal.

The quote has a meaning twisted upon itself and the fact of his recusal. I believe the meaning of the quote is better worded as follows:

“I have no problem speaking save for the AP would have to explain why and how it leaked information that endangers national security.”
