Do you understand that fact, at least? Do you understand how completely that cuts out having a free press, and investigative reporting, of any subject that the current administration doesn't like?

I don't think anyone is arguing with you on that point. You said the wiretap was illegal and that Holder committed perjury. You gave no cites to back up those statements. Both assertions are false.
I don't like what Holder has done, but it's not illegal to get a court order to wiretap someone, and it wasn't perjury to say that he wasn't prosecuting members of the press when he wasn't actually prosecuting members of the press.
This is the one scandal that I'm against Obama on, and you've got me defending his administration because you are making shit up. Just stick to the facts. They are bad enough.
