AG Holder Personally signed off on FNC Rosen warrant, Lied to Congress
NBC news is reporting that Attorney General Eric Holder signed off on the warrant that caused the investigation of Fox News reporter James Rosen personal emails. A law enforcement official told Isikoff that Holder's approval came "after senior Justice officials concluded there was 'probable cause' that Rosen's communications with his source, identified as intelligence analyst Stephen Kim, met the legal burden for such searches."

Yet this is what the Justice Department did. The unwarranted snooping, which was revealed last week, would be troubling enough if it were an isolated [...]

Amazing how the Mainstream media has kept up the, "American Hikers who strayed in to Iran" Story for so long. There is quite a bit more to the story. Here is the Official story: American Hikers Leave Iran After Prison Release Two American hikers imprisoned on espionage charges in Iran were released Wednesday after days of conflicting signals, ending diplomatic skirmishing that complicated the United States’ already fraught relationship with Tehran for more than two years. The men, Shane M. Bauer and Joshua F. Fattal, both 29, were released from the notorious Evin Prison at dusk and whisked by diplomatic convoy to a plane that took them to Oman, where they raced down the stairs of the aircraft to hug waiting family members. The men’s odyssey through Iran’s judicial system [...]
