*SHOCK* Holder lied!

   I know, I know, it's hard to believe, but Holder lied under oath. I'm sure some will scream racism, but I think we're still just seeing the tip of the iceberg here.
   
   “In regard to potential prosecution of the press for the disclosure of material — this is not something I’ve ever been involved in, heard of, or would think would be wise policy,” Holder said at the time.
   
   Media reports later found that Holder personally approved a search warrant that labeled Rosen a co-conspirator in a national security leaks case.

      Holder - and by extension, Obama, will be held to answer for these lies. Obama should do the right thing and fire Holder immediately. But he won't. Some strange link betwixt those two, methinks.

      Wait, let me get this straight.
      
      You think that you can get a search warrant, without having any thought towards potential prosecution?
      
      Nope. Nope nope nope nope nope. No.
      
      You can't get a warrant unless you can already show that you have reason to believe that evidence that would prove a person guilty exists, and you have to be able to describe that evidence and where you are going to look for it.
      
      So nope. There is no such thing as a warrant "just to look but we don't have any thoughts of prosecuting".

         Hi Jaxson. I just thought I would jump in here to point out what appears to be a misunderstanding of the law. 
         
         MM is correct in saying that a request for a warrant to search press records is not an indication of potential prosecution of the press. Hence, the argument in the OP statement fails to prove AG Holder lied and confirms this thread is just more faux outrage.
         
         In addition, it is wrong to imply as you did in your reply to MM, that it is necessary to establish the people or properties to be searched were involved in a crime. According to the Cornell University Law School web site, law enforcement does not have to show that the persons or places being searched are suspected of committing a crime!
         
         “To obtain a warrant, law enforcement officers must show that there is probable cause to believe a search is justified.” Furthermore, “The Fourth Amendment does not require officers seeking a warrant to show that the people or places to be searched committed any crime. Rather, they merely need to show probable cause that the sought-after evidence is there. For example, in Zurcher v. Stanford Daily, 436 U.S. 547 (1978) {1}, the Supreme Court allowed police to search a student newspaper, where the newspaper was not implicated in any criminal activity but police suspected it had photographic evidence of the identities of demonstrators who assaulted police officers.” {2}
         
         Requesting a search warrant does not indicate intent to prosecute the people or the owners of the property named in the warrant. I see only a rather desperate attempt to twist facts to make them appear to prove something that they do not prove.

      Mighty Mom, I understand that Holder was referring to a 1917 war time law that allowed the government to prosecute and lock up any journalist and publisher for writing anti-war articles during WW I. Holder responded to the question about using that law with the quote: “In regard to potential prosecution of the press for the disclosure of material — this is not something I’ve ever been involved in, heard of, or would think would be wise policy."
      
      That's is why the Fox and AP people are totally off base by saying Holder lied. I believe he started with saying he had never read the 1917 law. The government actually used it, however during the war, calling pacifists communists and putting them in prison. It was a different America then, one that present day people generally don't even believed existed.

      I just want honesty and integrity, both from republicans and democrats.  When a republican has lied or obstructed justice, I've had just as much disdain for them.  Our politicians, both republican and democrat, owe more than this to us.  I don't know if Holder is innocent or not.  He won't provide all the evidence.  We deserve better.  I don't whether Benghazi was covered up or not.  We haven't been able to hear from the people who were there.  We deserve better.  I don't know if the AP tappings are serious or not.  We haven't been given complete lists of who was bugged.  We deserve better.  Nobody takes responsibility.  Nobody knows anything.  This isn't the kind of integrity we deserve from our government.

   The only "leaks" the government is investigating are those that do not shine a "Hail to the Chief" light on a particular situation.  If the leak showed Obama in a positive way, no problem.  Disclosing a scandal concerning the administration, INVESTIGATION!
   
   MSNBC’s Chris Hayes: Where Are Subpoenas Of New York Times For Publishing Pro-Obama Leaks?
   
   During a panel discussion on MSNBC’s Now on Thursday regarding the Department of Justice’s sweeping subpoenas of Associated Press and Fox News journalists’ communications records, MSNBC host Chris Hayes said that there is another shoe yet to drop in this story relating to the leaks published by the New York Times. The Times, Hayes argued, has received a number of high-profile government leaks framing the actions of this administration in a positive light. He said that those warrants for the Times’ communications records must exist, but the public has just not yet seen them.

   Well to be fair, perhaps there were subpoenas, but revealing them to the public would result in further investigations?  As it stands right now, dissent against the administration will be punished with the full force of the federal government, or so it seems.

   Ok Quill, you're right. It is possible to have a search warrant where you have no intention of even possibly prosecuting the person whose possessions are being searched, but those are lottery-odds situations.
   
   The warrant that Holder approved listed Rosen as a co-conspirator... the mental gymnastics required to say Holder was telling the truth are unbelievable... it's like saying
   
   "We think this guy murdered his spouse, and we his friend hid the body in his car, so we are going to get a search warrant to search the friend's car, which would make him a co-conspirator... but there's no way that we are going to even think about prosecuting the friend if we find the body."

But I am sure you know plenty of people who vote Republican who are not conservatives but moderates or liberals and plenty of people who vote democrat who are moderate or even socialist, I certainly do so that could very well throw out the stats.

                                    While you guys are splitting hairs, I said intelligence, not education. You can take a well trained monkey and as long as you go through the steps, that Monkey can get a great education (and degree) through our school system.

                                       We only have one accepted measure of "intelligence", that is IQ, people with higher IQ are far more likely to have a full education and thus people who are more educated and broadly speaking also more intelligent (yes of course there are exceptions).
                                       So really that doesn't change the validity of the data in the slightest.

            It sure seems likely he lied.  When you hide behind executive privilege, it has a tendency to make you look guilty.  I'd like to see him come forward, provide all relevant documents in all of the scandals, and stop being evasive.  If he did that, and there was no evidence, I might believe he was innocent.  Until he provides all of the evidence, I have to believe he has something to hide.  That's how it works in the real world, and I can't see why it shouldn't be that way for our politicians.

      Thank you for another example of MM’s “pretzel logic”: “It is possible to have a search warrant where you have no intention of even possibly prosecuting the person whose possessions are being searched, but those are lottery-odds situations.”
      
      I can not argue with vague, meaningless, unsupportable, non-specific, hypothetical, imaginary, and, dare I say, desperate logic like “lottery-odds situations.” To say it is possible is to say ALL that needs to be said.
      
      I agree with MM’s appraisal of the thread as “faux rage” because it focuses on alleged lying before a congressional tribunal. Your accusation is miniscule when compared to the possibility that this DOJ surveillance might be a covert attack against the free press. I can not understand passing up the really huge issue just to accuse the AG of lying.

      You started this thread claiming proof positive that Holder lied, you have admitted that is false, so the real title is "Jaxson lied" or at the very least doesn't know enough about the law to be commenting on the issue.

      Really you can't be struggling to understand this, it's not a linguistic issue or an interpretive one you praised and defended one group for not prosecuting then lambasted another for not prosecuting. Thus unequivocally and demonstrably in quotation you are a hypocrite.
