Breaking: Holder Tightens Rules for Obtaining Reporters’ Data

8. I actually thought seizing the phone records for the AP was overkill, but legal

I said this again and again, but you probably just never paid attention. Arguing that something is legal shouldn't be confused with support. That's the mistake you're making.

The US attorney, Ron Machen, went too far IMO, but he did follow the law. Some people called it illegal which was total rubbish.

Same with Rosen's emails. A warrant was obtained for Rosen's emails. A federal magistrate and a federal judge signed off on the search warrant. Again, totally legal.

A subpoena was used the acquire AP phone records. Again, totally legal and by the book.

There's nothing wrong with the administration changing the way the US attorneys would acquire records in the future, but you want to use this change to bash people.

So predictable...yes you are.

BTW, nice transparency page.
