ABC has confirmed that the FBI is actively going after their phone records and even admits the Bush administration makes it so easy:
The FBI acknowledged late Monday that it is increasingly seeking reporters’ phone records in leak investigations.
“It used to be very hard and complicated to do this, but it no longer is in the Bush administration,” said a senior federal official.
The acknowledgement followed our blotter item that ABC News reporters had been warned by a federal source that the government knew who we were calling.
The official said our blotter item was wrong to suggest that ABC News phone calls were being “tracked.”
“Think of it more as backtracking,” said a senior federal official.
But FBI officials did not deny that phone records of ABC News, the New York Times and the Washington Post had been sought as part of a investigation of leaks at the CIA
Hey Neo-Cons – if it wasn’t for people leaking information in the past then you wouldn’t have had the Clinton impeachment. Now what would you neo-cons think if Hillary became President and could abuse power like this? We need more than an impeachment hearing now. We need impeachment, trial, conviction and sentencing (and I would think expulsion from the country would be a great start for the asshole in the White House).
