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?
My guess is that the DOJ just figured they could cast a wicked big net and catch those govvies in it. And they probably figured the AP would just roll over and play dead because amongst a fawning press corpse, the AP is the lead Obama whore.
