The Associated Press scandal just keeps getting worse, and we haven't even started yet. AP CEO Gary Pruitt informed staffers Wednesday that the Department of Justice monitored, not one, not twenty, but "thousands and thousands" of phone calls made by reporters and editors.
Associated Press president and chief executive Gary Pruitt told staff at a Wednesday town hall meeting that the phone records obtained by the government included "thousands and thousands" of calls in and out of the news organization, according to a staffer who attended.
Pruitt said Wednesday that the Obama administration acted as "judge, jury and executioner" in secretly obtaining the news organization's records, a criticism he also leveled in a recent appearance on CBS' "Face the Nation."
During the town hall, Pruitt reiterated that the AP did not report on a CIA-thwarted terrorist plot in May 2012 out of national security concerns until sources indicated the Obama administration was going to announce it publicly.
Meanwhile, calls for Attorney General Eric Holder to resign are getting louder....from liberals. Over to you, Jonathan Turley:

This is just the TIP OF THE ICEBERG for WITHHOLDER and THE FOREIGNER. You can bet the same SECRET SOCIETY government corruption was taking place in every action this REGIME was involved in. It started with the ELIGIBILITY ISSUE that was swept under the rug by the socialist frauds in the MSM and continues today with these latest scandals.
Like many here, I can’t believe that this was only done to the AP. Thousands!. That would imply NSA type computers, which would require Sys. Admins, technicians, database people and software. There is no way they would have limited this to the AP. They have others who would rate much higher on their enemy list than the AP. These people do not have the integrity of character to resist using it on anyone including the tea party organizations and even private citizens. And as pointed out who is to say that they aren’t actually more interested in the persons on the other ends of these communications. There is no way they confined this behavior to just the AP.
Holy crap! ! Thousands? !?!
“Two legs baaaad, four legs goooood” BBBBAAAHHH
(two days later)
“Four legs goooood, two legs betterrrrr!” BBBBAAAHHH
At what point did the Orwellian sheep get a clue?
Aww shuxx, THEY DIDN’T!!
If you have no idea what this post means, you are a SUPER LOW information type.
CEEEYA!
Monitored by DOJ? Who, specifically were the employees that did that? Was it really the DOJ or the NSA, or DHS? Specifically, the names of those employees needs to be aired.
When people say the military or those in government would never turn on We the People, sure they would and this type of case continues to prove it.
Hopefully this will soon enrage enough MSM people that they will wake up and perhaps help bring 0bastard down; they put him there, and they can take him down.
Exactly.
As others have said we only know about these two. Remember the article from the Canadian Press that claimed media was being threatened
It’s a patterned. Control the press. Control the message. Control the country.
Sounds serious.
Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise. Thanks.

This is going to sour the cozy relationship between the Big Zero and the MSM. This will sink the Big Zero's legacy.
I assume they listened in to the calls too. Am I wrong to assume this?
If I had to choose to take Obama or Holder’s place, or cut off my penis, I’d have a difficult decision to make...
This is getting ugly on a historic scale.
” I hope they turn on the Marxist.”
Only a person happy to be a slave would accept this.
You’re right.
