That was on 9/12/2012 concerning the Benghazi attack. It's obvious nothing is being done because Obama just wants this to go away, it's working, liberals are already saying it's old news time to move on. Capturing or killing those involved would reopen a wound Obama doesn't want reopened, for Obama, it's all about Obama, not the Country.

IMPEACH HIM

The President is "outraged"!! at the IRS scandal ! IRS blames low level employees and says no high level employees were aware of what the low level employees were doing! Are you kidding me !!! This whole thing has Obama's stink all over it !!!! The IRS was looking to find out who is supporting the Tea Party and other conservative groups..it's suppose to keep that information secret ....but guess who would benefit from that information? This could very well be Obama"a Watergate!! The worst US President in my lifetime...not matter what the polls say.

I've lost the last small amount of respect I have for the President's office, until Obama is replaced, I have no President and will ignore him.

This could also be Obama's Watergate, wiretapping to identify whistle blowers.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Justice Department secretly obtained two months of telephone records of reporters and editors for The Associated Press in what the news cooperative's top executive called a "massive and unprecedented intrusion" into how news organizations gather the news.

The records obtained by the Justice Department listed outgoing calls for the work and personal phone numbers of individual reporters, for general AP office numbers in New York, Washington and Hartford, Conn., and for the main number for the AP in the House of Representatives press gallery, according to attorneys for the AP. It was not clear if the records also included incoming calls or the duration of the calls.

In all, the government seized the records for more than 20 separate telephone lines assigned to AP and its journalists in April and May of 2012. The exact number of journalists who used the phone lines during that period is unknown, but more than 100 journalists work in the offices where phone records were targeted, on a wide array of stories about government and other matters.

Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the investigative House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said on CNN, "They had an obligation to look for every other way to get it before they intruded on the freedom of the press."

The American Civil Liberties Union said the use of subpoenas for a broad swath of records has a chilling effect both on journalists and whistleblowers who want to reveal government wrongdoing. "The attorney general must explain the Justice Department's actions to the public so that we can make sure this kind of press intimidation does not happen again," said Laura Murphy, the director of ACLU's Washington legislative office.

Rules published by the Justice Department require that subpoenas of records of news organizations must be personally approved by the attorney general.


In a letter of protest sent to Attorney General Eric Holder on Monday, AP President and Chief Executive Officer Gary Pruitt said the government sought and obtained information far beyond anything that could be justified by any specific investigation.

"There can be no possible justification for such an overbroad collection of the telephone communications of The Associated Press and its reporters. These records potentially reveal communications with confidential sources across all of the newsgathering activities undertaken by the AP during a two-month period, provide a road map to AP's newsgathering operations and disclose information about AP's activities and operations that the government has no conceivable right to know. This appears to be an attempt by the Government to control the media's content." Pruitt said

Odd thing about this is that the AP is very much pro-Obama.

They were targeting the few in the AP who dared to report anything negative about Obama or his agenda and identify those in the Government who were leaking information to the press such as the IRS and Benghazi coverup. It's all coming out, Obama under estimated the United States and tried to run it as he did while a politician in Chicago. Where he stepped on it was by by trying to intimidate the AP with his thuggery, he lost many in the media.
