Obama must resign to restore the integrity of the Office of The President.

The Washington Post is reporting that the Justice Department took extraordinary steps to investigate Fox News reporter James Rosen for possible leaks of classified information about North Korea:âIt used security badge access records to track the reporterâs comings and goings from the State Department, according to a newly obtained court affidavit. They traced the timing of his calls with a State Department security adviser suspected of sharing the classified report. They obtained a search warrant for the reporterâs personal e-mails.â
Context is everything. The very same month Justiceâs probe into Rosenâs story began, the Obama administrationâs war on Fox News began. As NROâs Eliana Johnson has reported:
In June of 2009, the president complained about a âcertain cable networkâ devoted entirely to attacking his administration. Four months later, former White House communications director Anita Dunn in 2009 said of Fox, âWeâre going to treat them the way we would treat an opponent,â adding, âWe donât need to pretend that this is the way that legitimate news organizations behave.â The administration went on to try to exclude Fox from the network pool that covers the White House, making a recent appointee â pay czar Kenneth Feinberg â available for interviews to every network but Fox. When the other networks refused to conduct the interview until Fox was included, the White House relented. But the verbal assault continued, with Obama telling Rolling Stone magazine in 2010 that the network represents a point of view that is âultimately destructive for the long-term growth of a country that has a vibrant middle class and is competitive in the world.â
The public war that the Obama administration waged against Fox News was ugly enough. Perhaps with the Washington Post story we are now seeing the tip of the iceberg regarding the administrationâs private war against Fox News.
