DOJ Spied On Fox Journalist
http://www.valuewalk.com/2013/05/doj-spied-on-fox-journalist/
Department of Justice spied on a Fox news journalist, according to a
new report.
Adding to the glut of scandals hitting the Obama administration in
recent days is a new report from the Washington Post. According to the
piece, Justice Department officials secretly obtained information
about a Fox journalist�s conversations and their visits in an
investigation into a possible leak
The case, which centers on Fox journalist James Rosen, is about a
government adviser that was accused of leaking information relating to
a 2009 story about North Korea. This mornings report in the Washington
Post stated that Department of Justice officials obtained email
records from Rosen, and tracked his visits to the State Department
using security badge tracking.
The scandal is just one of the several breaking around the Obama
administration in May, all of them centering on breaches of privacy
and civil rights by the executive office, and other government
departments. The new scandals are compounding the effect of questions
over the Benghazi embassy attack, and make the remainder of Obama�s
term in office more and more unpredictable.
In the Fox news case, government security adviser Stephen Jin-Woo Kim
is accused of illegally sharing information with Fox senior Washington
correspondent, James Rosen. According to a court affidavit, the
journalists movements in the State Department were tracked, and his
telephone records were obtained, as well as his emails.
The case shows the lengths that government investigators have gone to
to get information on a case they�re working and raises questions
about how often this kind of snooping occurs. Comparisons with other
recent cases, most notably the acquisition of telephone records of
Associated Press journalists.
Journalists, and civil liberties activists, view the relationship
between journalists and their sources as sacrosanct. The purposeful
undermining of the relationship by the DOJ could be seen as a
concerted attempt to undermine the business of journalists, and their
ability to uncover stories that might displease the current
administration.

What are YOU thinking? Evidently not at all. Why do you want to help
the North Koreans?

When the Justice Department began investigating possible leaks of
classified information about North Korea in 2009, investigators did more
than obtain telephone records of a working journalist suspected of
receiving the secret material.
The Justice Department used security badge access records to track the
reporter’s 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 reporter’s personal emails.
The Kim case began in June 2009, when Rosen reported that U.S.
intelligence officials were warning that North Korea was likely to respond
to United Nations sanctions with more nuclear tests. The CIA had learned
the information, Rosen wrote, from sources inside North Korea.
The story was published online the same day that a top-secret report was
made available to a small circle within the intelligence community —
including Kim, who at the time was a State Department arms expert with
security clearance.
FBI investigators used the security-badge data, phone records and e-mail
exchanges to build a case that Kim shared the report with Rosen soon after
receiving it, court records show.

We can only hope so. If they have been killed, Rosen should be charged
with their deaths.
