Bombshell: Ryan Lizza reports that DOJ fought to conceal warrant from James Rosen

Unreal.

In an explosive new bombshell report, the New Yorker’s Ryan Lizza claims that the Obama administration deliberately kept Fox News reporter James Rosen in the dark about the warrant to search through his personal emails.

“A lengthy period of time”? What does that mean? And shouldn’t the DOJ have at least given Rosen the courtesy of telling him that they’d be combing through his personal communications?

U.S. Attorney Ronald C. Machen, Jr., didn’t seem to think so. According to Lizza, unsealed court documents reveal that Machen did not want Rosen to know he was being monitored.

He argued that disclosure of the search warrant would preclude the government from monitoring the account, should such a step become necessary in the investigation. Machen added that “some investigations are continued for many years because, while the evidence is not yet sufficient to bring charges, it is sufficient to have identified criminal subjects and/or criminal activity serious enough to justify continuation of the investigation.”

Machen insisted the investigation would be compromised if Rosen was informed of the warrant, and also asked the court to order Google not to notify Rosen that the company had handed over Rosen’s e-mails to the government. Rosen, according to recent reports, did not learn that the government seized his e-mail records until it was reported in the Washington Post last week.

More from Lizza’s report:

The new documents show that two judges separately declared that the Justice Department was required to notify Rosen of the search warrant, even if the notification came after a delay. Otherwise: “The subscriber therefore will never know, by being provided a copy of the warrant, for example, that the government secured a warrant and searched the contents of her e-mail account,” Judge John M. Facciola wrote in an opinion rejecting the Obama Administration’s argument.

Per Lizza, Machen apparently got his way after appealing the decision.

Department of Injustice.
