The dark humored joke, called the Obama administration, has stepped on another land mine that they planted. In what is rapidly, if not already, becoming the most corrupt and scandal ridden administration in American history, comes the third scandal on the heels of the Benghazi debacle and the unfolding IRS scandal, which is just now coming to the surface.
Today we hear about the DOJ wire tapping the AP.
President Obama had “no knowledge” that the Justice Department obtained two months of Associated Press reporters’ phone records, his spokesman said today.
“Other than press reports, we have no knowledge of any attempt by the Justice Department to seek phone records of the AP,” White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said in a statement today. “We are not involved in decisions made in connection with criminal investigations, as those matters are handled independently by the Justice Department. Any questions about an ongoing criminal investigation should be directed to the Department of Justice.”...
Note to carnival barker and main ring clown, Jay Carney. Your protestations to the contrary, The DOJ is an Executive Branch department and as such the President of the United States is ultimately responsible for all DOJ activities. So get your NOMEX fire suit pressed and cleaned Jay, because you're going to have a lot more of those press conferences you had last Friday, where some in the MSM finally got around to asking the hard questions as you squirmed, while obfuscating and lying your skinny little ass off.
I swear that the Obama administration is making the Nixon administration look like a bunch of choir boys by comparison, Watergate not withstanding. The only thing we are missing to date is some dark nefarious Deep Throat character to reach out from the shadows of some underground parking garage and nail down some names, dates and places that Obama administration criminal activity emanated from.
The Associated Press reported today that “the government seized the records for more than 20 separate telephone lines assigned to AP and its journalists in April and May of 2012,” including the main AP line in the House of Representatives Press Gallery...
Unless there was a criminal investigation underway over the AP breaking some law or laws and there was probable cause for a series of search warrants permitting wire taps and collecting of information from the AP phone lines, there will have to be a formal investigation by an independent counsel to determine the extent of the DOJ's legal culpability and any subsequent criminal charges to come forth.
At the rate the Obama administration is imploding, the Republicans should be able to professionally pursue a calm and calculated series of investigations into the known scandals that will ultimately neuter Obama's agenda going forward in the next three and a half years. Let's remember that there are a lot of positive things to be said for political gridlock in Washington, D.C..
Our Founding Fathers, in their infinite wisdom, created a government with definite controls to prevent runaway government administrations. We are now looking at an administration that is out of control. It behooves Republicans to bring government back as a legitimate representative of the people.
