Remember when the DOJ seized records from Associated Press?


I believe the leakers are about feel the pain!

Federal investigators secretly seized two months of phone records for reporters and editors of The Associated Press in what the news organization said Monday was a “serious interference with A.P.’s constitutional rights to gather and report the news.”

I very much hope he doesn't do this.

I would prefer he not as well, but if they go this route, the media has no one to blame but themselves.

They need to find the leaks. It not only makes Trump look bad, but our country as well.

I may not like or support Trump, but we need to see what he can accomplish without the left throwing shite out everyday.

Why?

If they're in contact with people violating their security clearances, those people aren't immune from being caught.

He should threaten it and see if the leaks slow down and/or cease.

Because I believe that Obama's attack on the press was very much unconstitutional, and I don't want to see Trump repeat that mistake. One president exceeding his authority can be called out for the failure it is. Consecutive presidents from different parties doing so would establish a pattern that would be very difficult to overturn.

And to clarify, I have no problem with trump calling the press out for blatant dishonesty, we're clearly at a point in time when we need it. And I've got no problem with him going after the leakers, that's part of his job. But even still, that's very, very different from what Obama has done
