National Review senior editor Ramesh Ponnuru appeared today on CNN’s The Lead, hosted by Jake Tapper, to discuss the AP surveillance scandal. The New Yorker’s Ryan Lizza reported today that the Obama administration received approval from a federal judge to keep the Rosen surveillance secret, arguing that the secrecy was necessary because the DOJ might need to return to the tapped e-mail account in the future.
Ponnuru also observed the absurdity of President Obama’s putting attorney general Eric Holder in charge of investigating the DOJ’s overreach — which new information suggests Holder authorized himself.
He appeared alongside Lizza and Neera Tanden, president of the Center for American Progress.
