Report: Three Fox News Staffers Targeted By Justice Department
Breitbart ^ | 5/20/13 | John Nolte

Posted on 05/20/2013 10:40:09 AM PDT by Nachum

Fox News reports that three Fox staffers, two reporters and one producer, were targeted by Barack Obama's Justice Department. Fox doesn't have all the details yet on a reporter William La Jeunesse and producer Mike Levine, but their emails showed up in a IG report regarding Fast and Furious. Either their emails were leaked by the Justice Department officials they were sent to, or the email accounts of both were subpoenaed and invaded by government investigators.

The IG report does say that subpoenas were issued to obtain emails. Whose email was targeted is not yet known.

The third staffer is reporter James Rosen. The Washington Post's story behind that is downright chilling. What we have here is a case of the Obama Administration criminalizing reporting.

In June of 2009, James Rosen of Fox News reported that North Korea might respond to an increase in United Nations sanctions with even more nuclear tests. Rosen added that the CIA had learned this information from their sources within North Korea.

Is their argument that, of all the media outlets out there, someone in their own administration would leak to their arch nemesis, Fox News? How much more implausible can you get?

So. This morning at oh-dark-thirty it was ONE Fox reporter...now it’s three....

The rain just keeps on pouring, don’t it.

Pfeiffer from the WH says all this is “irrelevant”....

If Roger Ailes doesn’t file a lawsuit against Holder, he’s a sissy. His personnel should not be targeted by the Obamafia without some serious blow-back from Ailes.

Later at the Press Conference:

This is getting deeper and deeper. It’s just a question of whether the low information voter will ever see the ramification to them personally over all of this. It’s highly unlikely given the fact they get their news from the view or inside edition.

[Fox doesn't have all the details yet on a reporter William La Jeunesse and producer Mike Levine, but their emails showed up in a IG report regarding Fast and Furious.]

If FOX reporters were being tracked in regards to Fast and Furious the DOJ will have a problem justifying it. Hopefully this can of worms can be reopened.

He’d probably say James Thompson first, then wait to be corrected... LOL

But but but BOOOOOOOOSH targeted, tracked, and used the IRS to intimidate the media all the time!

Um, no, he didn't.

This crapbag should be impeached, then hung, but he won't be.

the left are completely OUT OF CONTROL- they are flauting the law- breaking the law, and doing so brazenly and blatantly, and shoving their criminal acts in our faces and daring the right to try to stop them

The Left believes they are on the cusp of reifying the permanent Marxist revolution. They are more than willing to take a few casualties to push through the weak remaining resistance to establishing a third-world workers' paradise here in the hated USA. Things are going to get very, very nasty soon.

Bill of Rights and Obama:

Right to Bear Arms: Dictator Obama says no to that...

Freedom of the Press: Dictator Obama says no to that...

And Obama is using the IRS like a guy with a mustache in Germany in the '30s and '40s used his SS.

Obama has targeted Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion...

After being targeted by the IRS, we had a family conference. We agreed that we can acquiesce or keep resisting. We chose the latter. Now I wonder how long before our door is kicked down? For the crime of speaking out against our President we may be embattled for the rest of our lives. Now, every time a car door slams I wonder if they are coming for us....

Is this a bad dream? Maybe I’ve just seen too many spy movies. I desperately hope so.

They should just change the name from the DOJ to the Ministry of the Interior, or the KGB’ s Second Directorate.
