Illegal wire tapping of the FOX reporter

How could they stay liberals, if they made that a habit?

As for the optics, they're TERRIBLE. How it looks? It looks like shit. I think Adak is mixing up two stories (wouldn't be the first time). *From what I have read*, the hearing he spoke of had to do with Holder's appearance regarding the wiretaps at the Associated Press. But the Fox reporter "wiretap" was different.

You're right, I'm not up to speed on this. I broke my eardrum 2 days ago, and now I'm half deaf, with a dull ache and strange low frequency noises accentuated. So I wasn't watching this story very well, and listening to Roger Hedgecock's show (he's the conservative former Mayor of my town, before San Diego became "Enron by the Sea").

I saw a pic on the net with Eric Holders signature on an affidavit, but I didn't think much about it. Why wouldn't Holder sign an affidavit? What's the big deal? With the patriot bill in place, I thought Holder was covered legally.

Well, it seems that under oath previously, Holder gave testimony that he didn't know anything about the wire taps of the Fox reporter. Now, we're being told that he actually signed all three affidavits, because it had to be shopped around to three judges before they found one that would approve it.

So it appears he lied under oath, and THAT is a very big deal indeed. I expect Holder will find a "Clinton" out: "It depends what your definition of is, is.", or maybe use Obama's: "There is no there, there". He better find something, or he's toast.

All I found to support Adak's claim was a clip of Karl Rove saying it first.

I stopped listening to Rove a long time ago. I don't believe he cares too much about what's good for America. Given the choice, he would rather that his analysis be correct, and we went down the shitter, imo.

I'm not gonna defend Adak either, I just want to hear his side of it, beyond parroting Karl Rove.

I don't have a side to it yet. I have no idea (and couldn't care less), what Rove said.

You can hear Hedgecock talk about it, by d/l'ing his radio show, for May 28th, from his website.

You want 5/28, Hour 1. I see this topic listed for 5/24 Hour 1 as well, but I did not catch that show, so that's not what I was referring to here.
