Wow. I guess we can assume the AP case was not an isolated incident.
Via WaPo:
Attorney General Eric Holder can’t say how many times the Justice Department has seized journalists’ records during his tenure.
“I’m not sure how many of those cases that I have actually signed off on,”Holder told NPR. ”I take them very seriously, I know that I have refused to sign a few, pushed a few back for modifications.”
Holder said Tuesday that he was unaware that a DOJ leak investigation involved secretly acquiring telephone records of Associated Press journalists because he had recused himself from that probe.
