I still think Benghazi is the big story and all these other things coming out have interesting timing. How do we know DOJ was tapping phones to investigate a “leak” about something in Yemen? Maybe it was to shut down Benghazi leakers....the DOJ is so corrupt that not one word from that dept is trusted by me.

What I don’t get is why would the DOJ go after a news agency that possibly received the leak instead of going after the government employees who leaked the information to the news agency/agencies? Are they just trying to blame someone outside the gov’t?

Agreed. I'll build on it and suggest that the one that's going to be the big wake-up call for the media is the DOJ tapping the AP's phones. That's the first time Dear Leader has sh*t directly in the fawning press's soup, and they aren't going to like that dish at all.

of course we don’t, and this administration never lies. i think the DOJ needed to insert this caveat in order to protect themselves from one of the points in the articles of impeachment for Richard Nixon; whereby, using a gov’t agency to tap phones is exculpatory when it involves national security interests.
