But along with how this administration, and in this case the DOJ seems to be able to write their own rules and do what they want are some facts that make this story a bit more chilling.

Holder just testified last week to congress (under oath I believe) that he did not and would not do this...along with saying he recused himself from the AP scandal. Recused, but didn't write it down, remember when or tell anyone as far as I can tell.

Now Obama had asked Eric Holder to investigate the situation, in effect to have Holder investigate Holder.

These idiots must have a very large set to lie directly to congress and feel they are immune to any responsibility. To me that is so much more scary then saying they work in grey areas of the law.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110311/01465413450/dailydirt-diy-soda-pop-whatever-you-call-carbonated-beverages.shtml#c33 Fri, 24 May 2013 18:31:11 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110311/01465413450/dailydirt-diy-soda-pop-whatever-you-call-carbonated-beverages.shtml#c33 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130523/18225323199/president-obama-is-troubled-about-chilling-effects-his-own-administration-is-causing-to-journalism.shtml#c789 Fri, 24 May 2013 18:23:09 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130523/18225323199/president-obama-is-troubled-about-chilling-effects-his-own-administration-is-causing-to-journalism.shtml#c789
You don't have to say anything, about one or the other, but if you don't tell the whole story you should not get upset if someone 'fleshes out the facts'.

I made nothing up about you. You started talking about Bush (not the subject of the article), I simply followed your comments up in context of this article. If that upsets you that is your problem, not mine.

There is nothing lacking in my comprehension skills, but since your an AC it is kind of hard to tell you all apart as you all look alike.

If you don't like being challenged or corrected, perhaps one should not make posts. Just a thought.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130522/10303023175/magic-hat-brewery-sues-west-sixth-brewing-using-number-six-their-logo.shtml#c563 Fri, 24 May 2013 18:11:51 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130522/10303023175/magic-hat-brewery-sues-west-sixth-brewing-using-number-six-their-logo.shtml#c563 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130524/10542823205/another-court-tells-prenda-to-pay-up-attorneys-fees.shtml#c190 Fri, 24 May 2013 18:08:08 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130524/10542823205/another-court-tells-prenda-to-pay-up-attorneys-fees.shtml#c190 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130524/01462423203/ex-prenda-lawyer-brett-gibbs-pleads-poverty-to-judge-wright.shtml#c590 Fri, 24 May 2013 18:04:08 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130524/01462423203/ex-prenda-lawyer-brett-gibbs-pleads-poverty-to-judge-wright.shtml#c590 "As for his health, Brett's condition is stable (i.e. good)..."

In medical use 'stable' does not mean 'good', it just means things currently aren't changing.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130524/01462423203/ex-prenda-lawyer-brett-gibbs-pleads-poverty-to-judge-wright.shtml#c576 Fri, 24 May 2013 17:59:12 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130524/01462423203/ex-prenda-lawyer-brett-gibbs-pleads-poverty-to-judge-wright.shtml#c576 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130524/10542823205/another-court-tells-prenda-to-pay-up-attorneys-fees.shtml#c171 Fri, 24 May 2013 17:56:37 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130524/10542823205/another-court-tells-prenda-to-pay-up-attorneys-fees.shtml#c171 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130523/12283223188/petition-asks-obama-to-support-treaty-blind-rather-than-siding-with-hollywood.shtml#c190 Fri, 24 May 2013 17:54:26 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130523/12283223188/petition-asks-obama-to-support-treaty-blind-rather-than-siding-with-hollywood.shtml#c190 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130523/17515223193/riaa-copyright-reform-we-need-is-to-make-everyone-else-copyright-cops.shtml#c1235 Fri, 24 May 2013 17:54:06 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130523/17515223193/riaa-copyright-reform-we-need-is-to-make-everyone-else-copyright-cops.shtml#c1235 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130524/01462423203/ex-prenda-lawyer-brett-gibbs-pleads-poverty-to-judge-wright.shtml#c559 Fri, 24 May 2013 17:52:58 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130524/01462423203/ex-prenda-lawyer-brett-gibbs-pleads-poverty-to-judge-wright.shtml#c559
