Associated Press President Gary Pruitt said Sunday the Justice Department sent a strong – and negative -- message to future sources that the government would go after them if they spoke to the press. It’s a move Pruitt called not only unconstitutional, but damaging to the ideal of a free press in the country.
“It will hurt,” he said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “We’re already seeing some impact. Officials are saying they’re reluctant to talk.”
The Justice Department sought phone records for a two-month period from more than 20 phone lines in four bureaus,including Washington and New York.

Stick it Gary Pruitt!!! Not but a year or so ago you gave the introduction of Obama at some gag-fest and you were drooling all over Obama saying how Obama had singlehandly transformed the world to a better place against all odds. So suck it beotch!
Justice Department now under nobama...Injustice Department.
I wonder what those “phone records” uncovered and I wonder what they have on him.
What about us “little people”?
Don’t worry obastard. The AP President still has his knee pads...
No word from the AP as to whether they were unconstitutional for Tea Part groups however. Funny how everyone’s alright with “it”, until their ox is gored.
It was okay when THEY targeted the Tea Party as racists because they opposed the first black president...crocodile tears.
Ditto!
No other excuse will be accepted.
