Obama’s Justice Department: Holder’s Leak Investigations Are Outrageous and Unprecedented - Slate Magazine
Obama’s Justice Department: Holder’s Leak Investigations Are Outrageous and Unprecedented - Slate Magazine: "Attorney General Eric Holder has said that he doesn’t want the Obama administration’s leak prosecutions ‘to be his legacy.’ But he has also trumpeted the cases—six and counting—in response to criticism from Senate Republicans. ‘We have tried more leak cases—brought more leak cases during the course of this administration than any other administration,’ Holder said before the Senate Judiciary Committee last year. This shouldn’t be a source of pride, even the fake point-scoring kind. In light of the Justice Department’s outrageously broad grab of the phone records of reporters and editors at the Associated Press, the administration’s unprecedented criminalizing of leaks has become embarrassing. This is not what Obama’s supporters thought they were getting. Obama the candidate strongly supported civil liberties and protections for whistle-blowers. Obama the president risks making government intrusion into the investigative work of the press a galling part of his legacy."
