LINK
A good link, and an illuminating case. Honestly it's rare I get that here.
That guy James Risen fought a legal battle with both the Bush and Obama administrations over them trying to subpoena him to testify that a guy on trial was a leak source of his.
The thing is, in the end he never had to give up any sources, and it was the Obama DOJ that relented. The Obama admin and Holder made the call to keep it in the bag, and then Holder formally rewrote their policies on subpoenaing journalists.
In light of this, it seems like even more of a stretch to make a but Obama appeal on this issue.
Nonetheless, thanks for the link.

Risen was overreach and Obama and Holder did the right thing, albeit belatedly, in backing off.
