the fact that the justice department
without uh... giving the associated press a chance to
fighting at all probably perfect took quite a few you set it up with that
they're doing a great big move then in two months later
you know we find out more after the fact that you find out that these phone
record protector without war without warning with it without advising the man
anyway
it's did show speaking to bridge one of civil rights in this kind of country
natural will become
rhythm was so good weather were so good with it and to all of a sudden the
president when i was
cosby
shoelders pinched
on us now on the press right to finally we got angry press corps that we've been
waiting for ur
host of other issues i set it on the on the courage feel like the press corps
uh... that implied wanted benefits for people who lost their jobs to make it'll
terrible economic downturn the war since the depression
that republicans are going to extend unemployment benefits in the white house
and we're gonna play for dad art
don't care what i read about that
the white house is a green bay just throwin
the little agreement the delegate you know what what what happened comfortable
cutting social security hundreds of dollars a month to people who live
strongly on that
the balance this budget we're not outraged about that
and better right
then we talk about civil rights every business in the same
area of of civil rights of yoga rights which have been
taken
uh... after nine eleven
the rights were taken and there was not really human cry driven up in the same
area of civil rights
oh you know alarm rights being celebrities were rights
finally the pressure is on a directive is that because i think the associated
press record and they can't go there brad
do you get your not finally we get
chuck todd at
and there were other reporters all angry when after jay carney
with a degree of
sort of aggressiveness seldom seen in the current group of white house
reporters clipper
pat buchanan he believed keypad
appointed prep contact the watchdog watchdog a little bit
and that
the judiciary committee probably be appropriately
for them to make that determination then you got to put
protection for the media he does believe that we needed
take measures to ensure that
beneath him
pursue investigative journalism
union better
and we have to balance that cold wet
uh... the very real national security interests that we have the nation
business better
he'd like to get don't believe in an envelope and then unfettered
aggressiveness in the media
this clinton severing war
they cloaked all of this and that this national security idea that shel
security
that somehow was that was that we have to look at these two please leave out of
the story this was the shoe bomber in yemen story that the a_p_ broke yielding
soundbites for days and days and days for the white house that it was okay
and then when they said no
we've got a were ready to go then all of a sudden they believed the story and yet
still to come back and they want all the records because what they want more than
anything in this administration is deployed leaks it seems like at the
expense of all-out that's priority number one such a quick point they
played ball with the administration
and then alternately the administration let them down in terms of quality
administration
picture crochet
to that guest numbers just a matter of national security solo hold the story as
you suggest
but man
no i did at the same administration to what you paid discourtesy
uh... what around and actually wants to
i think i i don't care what they want i mean i think i know what they want to
think that they're going to
what part of all day
counterfeited eight years ago to do any workers what you've had your
these yet but sources interview chilling affect our all sources that deal with
the a_p_
and and the second predicted two huge organization principle of stories
but awful lot
and that it gives it's out of their controlled and as you suggest this was
taken
uh... that there is no court process
there's no judicial process p normally they would have said we want to find
this week
and we want to subpoena your phone records who want to know every reporter
who worked on the story where directors
maybe where judge but you might about a sympathetic judge wood said to turn it
over
but they would apply
they would've appealed that decision and in the meantime they would be gone the
records and the way history is taught in this country the ultimate decision there
we're gonna be associated press your sources are protected extraordinarily
shock i liked now i think that's what this country joe we sent us all a
convert these
troops going back to thank you so much for fighting for our freedom thank you
for going against that
that we're going to rocker where we say that you always are we thank you so if
he's better resented thank you for protecting our preferred dot org rnd
port-au-prince
well i think freedoms it's crazy way bigger protected yes the exactly
controller uh... you will realize that the how bankrupt we become since nine
eleven
when it comes to these rights
here's eric holder explaining that the leak was dangerous
uh...
at the american people
trying to determine who was responsible for that required very aggressive action
and as i said i'm sure that the pianist formulated
based on the people that i know i don't know but the fact that the people in
this i think that uh... subpoenaed was done conformance with future threats
and of course the spirit of the spirit of the republicans became after the fact
helping to build incredibly disturbing but it's just a symptom of what happened
to the last few years
that neuberger oldham education recused himself from the case leasing deals with
the press
so it'd be like a story that relate to the eight need to be involved with
bridges that particulars winston and that's the cornerstone of your work is
work that you deal with the press i mean
at what you do with the president and i don't recall
i don't think strikes me as so puzzling that you can use that to recuse himself
for merely every case job uh... but anyway so then as a result of recusing
himself eric holder was but he was able to say look let me just take my word for
it
now what it would be interested to follow-up questionnaire which should
have been
put america risk explain that here of course a
that would put america graft fuck yeah i think i can tell you that so uh... but
here's eric holder uh... trying to answer questions about this but he
refused himself so he knows
uh... seat by i'm not sure that i could get affected again you'd have to refer
to the letter yet um... defeat rainy general unprepared
catholics
in draft form but it
had that'll be first for the deputy attorney general administrative responsi
i'm probably the only one i don't know
i think i'll probably personals which is that i did so at this event but an
abundance of caution but i do know enough about tom
you know what was
was compromised um... as a result of of that week and um...
on the basis of that knowledge debit that gives me the ability to
characterize it as uh...
and seriously matters as i said it was if you seem to me to public definitely
to step down
i could tell you that we needed to do it but i can tell you anything else rather
mister bailey can get the got charged estes park
that would be good
that the guy who's really supposed to carry the banner for all of this uh... i
think he just uh... you look just on and that was a great clip just
support for the fact that he's often skating in just actually killing time in
filling them and what does one production around
this is a
big big
this is a breach
where i get an essentially that's what it is
yeah security breaches what his activist out there and we're going to him and he
looked at the draft
but they're not to further used by someone in computer shopping or to look
at the track
but yeah i think the draft of the final we're probably preferable
you know anyone with a draft so i do know that it wasn't just about
over the noite op-ed
