AG Holder reviewing "POSSIBLE" News Corp investigation.

[Bluebear]

Once again, if the tables were turned there's no question an investigation would have started already. It's hard to believe so many Democrats are sitting on the side with this issue. CNN:


News Corp. is embroiled in a phone hacking scandal in the United Kingdom that forced one of its top executives, Rebekah Brooks, to resign Friday. Now, U.S. legislators say they want to know if the company engaged in that illegal activity in the United States

"There have been serious allegations raised in that regard in Great Britain; there is an ongoing investigation," Holder told reporters in Sydney, Australia.

"There have been members of Congress in the United States who have asked us to investigate those same allegations. And we are progressing in the regard using the appropriate federal agencies in the United States."

The office of prominent American attorney Brendan V. Sullivan Jr. confirmed to CNN that he has been retained by News Corp.

1. Unless there is a whistle blower to charge, Holder will do nothing n/t

[QC]

7. Don't give up. There might be cancer patients at News Corp. smoking pot.

That'll get him going!

27. +1

29. Maybe there are some undocumented janitors a Fox.

[no_hypocrisy]

2. That's it.

I've reached my limit.

First Holder turned his back on Don Siegelman.
Then DADT.
Now, MAYBE . . . MAYBE??? Holder MIGHT investigate Murdoch?!!

[PoliticAverse]

3. Comon Holder, move fast and furious on this... n/t

[NightWatcher]

4. Hey Holder, I heard that NewsCorps was dispensing medical marijuana

they'll be shut down by monday

[Bluebear]

15. Maybe a copyboy lied about using steroids 10 years ago!

[COLGATE4]

5. Holder is a weak, weak AG who doesn't intend to rock the boat.

He won't touch this with a fifty-foot pole - unfortunately.

[Vincardog]

6. AG Holder refused to investigate when the preps confessed in TV. We can't look back on that now can

we?

[ProfessionalLeftist]

8. This will go nowhere.- whitewash. I posted an article about that yesterday...

9. Ha Ha... News corp is probably a special patriot act company....

It can do no wrong.... And the laws it breaks don't matter....

[Kaleko]

13. News Corp is an arm of the US Propaganda Agency (USPA),

which doesn't exist officially. Only in reality.

Remember, remember, the 11th of September...

"The Central Intelligence Agency owns everyone of any significance in the major media."

~ William Colby, CIA Director from Sept. 1973 to Jan. 1976 under Presidents Nixon and Ford.

22. Do you have a credible source for this "quote"?

I'm willing to bet that you don't.

[Bluebear]

23. Why didn't you "Google" it "yourself" rather than "accusing" the poster of "lying"?

http://www.google.com/#hl=en&xhr=t&q=%22The+Central+Intelligence+Agency+owns+everyone+of+any+significance+in+the+major+media.%22&cp=87&qe=IlRoZSBDZW50cmFsIEludGVsbGlnZW5jZSBBZ2VuY3kgb3ducyBldmVyeW9uZSBvZiBhbnkgc2lnbmlmaWNhbmNlIGluIHRoZSBtYWpvciBtZWRpYS4i&qesig=fQc12C0TEuippZ2WU3XStg&pkc=AFgZ2tmOUY60Kn2fh-NaI2tXRnZOwueCQFriF7Oq3LuE53vrkA94bC-VC3vBhm8Xtdwfpxq6DZL5NlBCTiievVLJhKm0_ImZZA&pf=p&sclient=psy&site=&source=hp&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=%22The+Central+Intelligence+Agency+owns+everyone+of+any+significance+in+the+major+media.%22&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=d97c07d6cfed538e&biw=1024&bih=584

[SDuderstadt]

26. I did and there is no credible source for it...

Just because you get Google hits on something, doesn't make it true. If you don't believe me, try Googling "Barack Obama is a Kenyan".

The "quote" is bogus. Think about it for a second. Even if the claim was true, why would Colby go around bragging about it? The value of it would rest on the fact that the CIA "owned" every major journalist but nobody knew it. What would the value to the CIA be if everyone knew the source was already compromised? Think.

P.S. Show me where I accused the poster of "lying".

[Donnachaidh]

10. oh please -- he'll wet his pants and hide in his office at the first repuke claiming

they are ganging up on Fox in a vendetta.

Holder is effing useless...

[Donnachaidh]

11. Somebody tell him he can get a bit part in an episode of the Wire if he does this

You'll see him actually do something if that carrot is held up....

[somone]

12. "We'll get back to ya in 2016"

Maybe

[Bluebear]

17. We need to look "forward"

[gratuitous]

14. I'm sure some in-house attorneys for Fox okayed all this

So, really, there's nothing to investigate, because everyone thought they were operating on the up-and-up; their lawyers said so! We're not going to waste a lot of time and money lookin' backwards to the past, we're all about lookin' forward to the future! And the Department of Justice has it on good rumor and the best innuendo that there's some peace group that might turn to violence, so they've infiltrated it heavily to prevent the horrible crime they're pretty sure is going to happen.

Tell me again how much better it is to have a Democrat in the White House than a Republican? The usual suspects seem to be operating with the usual impunity.

[malaise]

16. Once NI bribed the British cops

a crime has been committed. If they hacked people in the US, more crimes have been committed.

[classysassy]

19. Holder is beholding

to the thugs that are ruining this country,sir you are a real disappointment.

[kas125]

20. The same people who believe in looking forward and not back?

They won't do anything about the real criminals except refuse to investigate or prosecute, just like they've done for two and a half years.

[Bluebear]

21. +

[Ichingcarpenter]

24. Holder wants to set up an independent commission to investigate headed by

George Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and the heads of
Exxon, Haliburton, Blackwater and Goldman Sachs.

[PuraVidaDreamin]

25. NewsCorp probably has something on Holder

Can't even begin to imagine the shit they have uncovered on our so called leaders to keep them reeled in.

[Le Taz Hot]

28. If that's the case, then he's been compromised

and should resign his position. Here's another theory. He's been told to lay off by the same corporate interests that have both major political parties by the proverbial gonads. It's the reason the "Democrats" aren't foaming at the mouth at this -- if an investigation is REALLY done, what's caught in the net will be bipartisan. The very same reason the banksters have never been investigated. There's a pattern and it's predictable and it all makes sense when you look at it in those terms.
