They 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 e-mails.
The case of Stephen Jin-Woo Kim, the government adviser, and James Rosen, the chief Washington correspondent for Fox News, bears striking similarities to a sweeping leaks investigation disclosed last week in which federal investigators obtained records over two months of more than 20 telephone lines assigned to the Associated Press.
At a time when President Obama’s administration is under renewed scrutiny for an unprecedented number of leak investigations, the Kim case provides a rare glimpse into the inner workings of one such probe.
i don't believe Pres. would order law breaking moves in light of all the press and scrutiny he is under any connection directly could serve to ruin his legacy don't seeing him doing that, now the others that is and has been job 1 since Nov. 2008, any and every opportunity to blemish hid Presidential tenure is like a feeding frenzy of sharks, they smile blood in the water only problem they put it there.
