Associated Press phone records seized

[Lemon Drop]

AP never saw the subpoena, it would have gone to the phone companies, right? I think it was all done without AP's knowledge, which is part of what has them so (justifiably) angry.

Your scathing criticism recognizing this venal criminal incompetecy at the highest levels of our ruling regime is somewhat encouraging.

You missed couple terms you customarily apply when Holy Saviour truly betrays you: so dissapointing, ill advised.

The fact is you knew exactly what you voted for in the last election, every single one of you. That was a very conscious choice YOU made.
Every one of you is guilty....

No. There were no wiretaps. But they had to have had some kind of authorization to seize the records and I am guessing--I do not know--that they used FISA. I don't know where else you can get a secret subpoena.

That's kind of the idea - for no one to know because its a secret subpoena.

That is the cute part, Holder IS informed that he is a subject of investigation, AP is not.....
