WHOOPEE! Obama Instructs Holder to investigate Holder!
This goes beyond the ridiculous and is an insult to the intelligence of everyone concerned with freedom of speech, press or our Department of “Justice.” Obama has asked AG Holder to investigate his own actions!
Jonathan Turley’s post today is a must read:
President Barack Obama recently came out to remind people that “Leaks related to national security can put people at risk.” He however denied knowledge of this and the other scandals.

The media (rather belatedly) is seeing his Administration in a different light as a true threat to liberty. Now, Obama has given a speech proclaiming that he now thinks that reporters should not fear investigation for just doing their jobs so he has ordered an investigation . . . by Eric Holder and the Justice Department. Of course, it was disclosed on the same day that it was Holder who approved the abusive targeting of Fox reporter Jeff Rosen.
