Justice Department Looking Into Phone Records!

President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder. They're getting really tired of explaining to the national public about their methods to stopping terrorism. They're determined to get rid of those in the administration who continue to leak classified information to the press.

Those in the junk food media are screaming over another scandal. The NSA wiretapping scandal reemerges and the new players in this are President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder.

The NSA collects records of phone giant Verizon (along with many others). Those kookspiracy theorists (mixture of conservative and liberal agitators) are now running the notion that BIG BROTHER is watching you!

Glenn Greenwald, a writer for The Guardian broke the story this week and it's taken off. Greenwald is a controversial liberal agitator who doesn't even live in the United States anymore. But yet he would write articles bashing on President Barack Obama for not doing enough for the LGBT community, and the president's handling of foreign affairs. And this story may eventually get him banned from entering the United States.

He wrote the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (Fisa) granted the order to the FBI on April 25, giving the government unlimited authority to obtain the data for a specified three-month period ending on July 19.

Under the terms of the blanket order, the numbers of both parties on a call are handed over, as is location data, call duration, unique identifiers, and the time and duration of all calls. The contents of the conversation itself are not covered.

The disclosure is likely to reignite longstanding debates in the US over the proper extent of the government's domestic spying powers.

Under the Bush administration, officials in security agencies had disclosed to reporters the large-scale collection of call records data by the NSA, but this is the first time significant and top-secret documents have revealed the continuation of the practice on a massive scale under President Obama.

The unlimited nature of the records being handed over to the NSA is extremely unusual. Fisa court orders typically direct the production of records pertaining to a specific named target who is suspected of being an agent of a terrorist group or foreign state, or a finite set of individually named targets.

The Guardian approached the National Security Agency, the White House and the Department of Justice for comment in advance of publication on Wednesday. All declined. The agencies were also offered the opportunity to raise specific security concerns regarding the publication of the court order.
Glenn Greenwald, a staunch critic of the president wrote a bombshell story and may face possible retaliation from the Department of Justice.
The court order expressly bars Verizon from disclosing to the public either the existence of the FBI's request for its customers' records, or the court order itself.

Seriously, this is White America's reactionary outrage over things that have nothing to do with the economy.

If you're not causing any harm to the United States, then you should have nothing to worry about.

I mean how many Americans care about this? I am guessing not too many.

For one thing the economy is improving and the Republicans have nothing to talk about other than Benghazi and the IRS. And the newest kookspiracy about the DOJ snooping on members of Congress.

The president is being compared to other presidents of the past.

When the jobs report comes out, hopefully it shows a decline in unemployment. This will be the only thing I will care about with President Barack Obama.

If you want to get at the president and the low approved Congress, look at the price of gasoline in the Midwest. My community is experiencing prices over $4 a gallon. Twice the average of $3.63 a gallon in the United States.

Here's a flashback of Greenwald getting into it with Joy Reid of MSNBC (Obama News) and Bill Maher of Real Time.
