Obama's white house has leaked national security secrets to improve his chances of re-election. Obama's attorney general Eric Holder has appointed two attorneys that report to him to investigate the leaks including one Obama donor with close personal ties to Eric Holder.


White House security leaks continue to fester as critics react to a flow of leaks from the White House that some believe are calculated to burnish the president's national security credentials at the expense of national security.




On Sunday, Rep. Peter King, R-New York, the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, condemned the leaks on Fox News, insisting they could only have come directly from the White House.

"This is the most shameful cascade of leaks I've ever heard or seen in government," King said. "It's clear from those stories this came right from the White House, came right from the National Security Council, came right from the Situation Room. ... It has to lead to people very high up in the administration in his White House."

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., went on CNN on Sunday andcalled for a special prosecutor, arguing that Attorney General Eric Holder has no credibility with Congress.

McCain described the leaks as the "most egregious breach of intelligence in anybody's memory." Pointing to ongoing congressional frustration with Holder's lack of coopertion on the Fast and Furious gun-running scandal, McCain insisted that Holder's low credibility with Congress prevented him from leading the leaks investigation. "This needs a special counsel, someone entirely independent of the Justice Department," McCain said.

    Damn, hit the wrong button. We should never let those in power investigate themselves, that's purely stupid. The fact that Eric Holder is in contempt of congress should automatically preclude him from naming investigaters. We should ALWAYS have independent investigaters.

    I LOVE Michelle...she's got more balls than most men on the Right.

    So the person investigating the leaks , was hired by and is a friend of Eric Holder, so this friend of Holder's is going to investigate the White House AND Holder's boss Odumbo? I can type up a 1 page summary of exactly what this 'investigation and report' will say and I can do this without all the need for special investigators or hearing from anyone.....the report will state

    'No evidence whatsoever was found to corroborate the allegations that certain classified documents and evidence was 'leaked' by either the White House, President Obama or any of his cabinet'

    May I please have my $5M cheque....as they will probably put some ridiculous amount like this on for thei so-called investigation

    Eric Holder showed his stripes and loyalties when he dismissed the already won
    case against the NBPP. He is completely biased and makes the Justice department
    a Joke.

    Damn Straight their should be an independent investigation.

    If it was any other Dept of Justice maybe OK But this isn't a ~real~ DOJ. This is just the social engineering political arm of the Obama admin. And you know the security leaks were made at the very highest level. On purpose and for nefarious political reason.

    Besides didn't the dems demand an independent investigation over the non issue Valerie Plame lying debacle?

    Certainly there should be an INDEPENDENT investigation. Where one can find a group of people to do this is anyone's guess as most people brought in by politicians to investigate are in the pocket of one side or the other. Forgive me if I don't trust Eric Holder to appoint the correct people to pinpoint the leak.

    Let's see if I've got this straight ..
    let the investigation be done by those committing the leaks ..
    the FOX is already in the Hen House ..
    and wants to 'investigate' what its EATEN?

    Hmm ..

    I do believe it is LONG PAST the time to send this OUT ..
    for an Investigation and Prosecution ..
    by those NOT employed by the Administration or DoJ ..
