let s you're only talking about
essentially spivey reporters who worked on this story
that happens though
adam goldman
and they had contributions from kimberly doors here
eileen sullivan in al in france
if you really want to dig into this and and they will have her on to talk about
it but the stuff gets incredibly we d
but marcy wheeler over dante we'll uh... dot net
has been
pursuing these aspects of these leaks among other stories uh... for quite some
time
streamed out
that over this two-month period in early twenty twelve
with the part of the justice uh...
getting the records of twenty separate phone lines
as well as home phones and cell phone records seized by the department
that
there were other stories
written by the a_p_
in particularly a story by a camera lead does here
reporting on
the drone program
she notes one uh... kimberly dosier story published may twenty first of
course which would fall
within this two-month period
of reporting
white house counter-terrorist chief john brennan has seized a leading guiding a
debater which tera leaders will be targeted for don't drone tax or raids
establishing a new procedure to that both military in c_i_a_ targets
it goes on within ten days of the time does your publish that story
uh... empty we'll
notes
john brennan ahead
rolled out an enormous propaganda campaign
based on descriptions of the drone targeting process that brennan's power
grad had replaced
so over these two months
there was stories about the signature strikes
about the undi bomb
about john brennan taking overgrown targeting from j sock
uh... on and on and on
stories that intertwined with other stories
marcy wheeler
speculators who speculation she write lowry which she says
frankly i think the witch hunt response to the undi bumper to point out what
was mostly just an excuse to start investigating the a_p_
though it did leave john brendan to make it clear that it was a saudi manufacture
plot in the first place
but the response to that goes your article which provided the final piece
of evidence for the time i'm about showing brennan grad controlled the
drone targeting and roughly the moment we started signature strikes in yemen
was more giraffe dramatic at least in terms of the breathtaking propaganda
white house rolled out to pretend the drone strikes or more orderly than they
actually work
tree
surmise is
that pruitt
and this is the uh...
head of the year page
noting
deep breath and scalp
of the records that were fined
he is indicating that he thinks
the department of justice was
looking for other stories as well
beyond the one that they purport italy are investigating
to find of their leaders
so
this is out there were starting to see calls for
holders resignation it is unlikely
from
what i've gathered
that the white house would be
kept abreast
uh... this investigation
partly
because us ten sadly it is going after her
people who may very well be at the white house
or
and i was sitting atop the c_i_a_ at this point
it simply unclear at this point
at that time
john brennan was
a counter-terrorism advisor
to president obama is top counter-terrorism guys
so is unlikely that the white house is aware of this of course
but that doesn't mean that president obama
doesn't have a responsibility holder is
his department is chief of do
at the department justice
