Bill Press is a liberal radio show host with a syndicated show heard across the country, so, naturally, Press is also an Obama supporter. But even this Obama supporter thinks that it is time for U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to be fired.
After news broke that Holder’s Department of Justice had subpoenaed the personal and business phone records of some 100 reporters from the Associated Press the liberal talker took to Twitter to call for Holder’s head.
I still haven’t heard a legit justification for the subpoenaing the AP phone records. They didn’t notify AP, they didn’t narrow search.

What “breach of national security” are we talking about re the AP story? It’s BS and Holder should be fired.

For people who say that Holder was “just doing his job,” he didn’t “do his job” by going after Cheney or Bush. He left THAT alone!

Pressure is mounting on Holder from his normally adoring liberal fans. In one example of such, on May 14, 52 media organizations signed a letter with the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press demanding an explanation from Holder. The letter also demanded that the DOJ destroy all the phone records it had obtained.
