@emptywheel is a genius. Been saying this for a while. White House was going to announce plot foiled http://blog.ap.org/2013/05/13/ap-responds-to-intrusive-doj-seizure-of-journalists-phone-records/ …

it does seem to be retaliation. & AP held the story til gov't said safe.
@emptywheel -
@lrozen@emptywheel actually they didn't. But AP isn't target of investigation - leaker is. -
they held it til sec threat passed but not for WH announcement. But why was that imperative? http://bigstory.ap.org/article/look-statements-about-foiled-terror-plot …
@TVietor08@emptywheel -
@lrozen@emptywheel not accurate. They went earlier than Admin wanted them to. There was never an announcement planned. -
@TVietor08 Furthermore, claim that announcement never planned would be LOT more credible except for HUGE dog-and-pony w/toner cartridge plot -
@emptywheel as the guy that would've gotten to plan said dog and pony show, there wasn't one. -
@TVietor08 Well, as I keep saying, the place to litigate competing claims is a court. A damned shame the Admin chose not to use one.
