Roger Hedgecock (former lawyer and Mayor of San Diego), has found the "out" for Eric Holder.
You'll have to pay close attention, because it's a careful parsing of the words.
He did not sign an affidavit for a wire tap, because he thought the FOX reporter was breaking the law by publishing the info from his whistle-blower source.
He signed the affidavit for a wire tap, because he thought the FOX reporter was a co-conspirator - as someone who probably committed a crime by helping the whistle blower.
And he prefaced his answer to the congress while under oath. Essentially, answering his own carefully parsed question, and not the question that was asked.
So now any reporter who meets or arranges communication with a whistle blower, is a co-conspirator, and thus can be wire tapped and probably prosecuted, as well? Did I mention they also wire tapped his Mom's phone line, as well?
She's another probable co-conspirator, as well?
He may escape perjury charges, but his sweetheart relationship with the press, is toast.
Holder has set up a meeting "off the record" with the bureau chiefs, to help "clarify the matter", for them.
