Eric Holder went “Judge Shopping”, trying to find a corrupt judge that would go along with the crimes of Obama’s DOJ.
DOJ, Holder Shopped For Equally Corrupt Judges to Usurp Fox News Records – Rejected Tby Two Judges – Scores on Third
Holder and Obama’s DOJ was turned down by two judges before they found a judge who was willing to bypass the law, and allow illegal seizure of emails and phone records of James Rosen, his parents, and other Fox News accounts.
“new documents show that two judges separately declared that the Justice Department was required to notify Rosen of the search warrant, even if the notification came after a delay.”
Obama’s criminal cronies in the DOJ won’t take no for an answer, and continued shopping the case around to other judges until they found a corrupt judge that would go along with the Obama administration’s scheme. Holder found what he was looking for when judge Royce C. Lamberth went along with the administration’s scheme against FOX and conservatives.
From doing research into judge Lamberth, it seems that he is not strictkly a conservative or liberal, which leads me to the question: Did holder trick judge Lamberth into upholding the Obama administration’s law breaking, or did Holder just happen to find another corrupt liberal judge, willing to help the Obama administration break the law?
The New Yorker’s Ryan Lizza, a bulldog on the DOJ/Fox News secret subpoena story, reports that the effort by the Justice Department to obtain the controversial court order was arduous, contentious and unsuccessful until finally a third judge acquiesced.
The new documents show that two judges separately declared that the Justice Department was required to notify Rosen of the search warrant, even if the notification came after a delay. Otherwise: “The subscriber therefore will never know, by being provided a copy of the warrant, for example, that the government secured a warrant and searched the contents of her e-mail account,” Judge John M. Facciola wrote in an opinion rejecting the Obama Administration’s argument.
Machen appealed that decision, and in September, 2010, Royce C. Lamberth, the chief judge in the Federal District Court for the District of Columbia, granted Machen’s request to overturn the order of the two judges.
Lizza goes on to explain that Holder’s Justice Department argued to the court that reporter James Rosen was a co-conspirator in a conspiracy to commit espionage and lists the detailed information they wished to explore:
—“Records or information related to Stephen Kim’s or the Author’s knowledge of laws, regulations, rules and/or procedures prohibiting the unauthorized disclosure of national defense or classified information.”
—“Any classified document, image, record, or information, and any communications concerning such documents, images, records, or information.”
—“Any document, image, record, or information concerning the national defense, including but not limited to documents, maps, plans, diagrams, guides, manuals, and other Department of Defense, U.S. military, and/or weapons material, as well as sources and methods of intelligence gathering, and any communications concerning such documents, images, records, or information.”
—“Records or information related to the state of mind of any individuals seeking the disclosure or receipt of classified, intelligence and/or national defense information.”
The revelation that two courts denied the secret subpoena before Lamberth finally agreed will damage the narrative that there was nothing extraordinary or out-of-bounds about Holder’s attempt to delve into the private communications of Rosen and his employer.
Arrest Eric Holder!
