Did Eric Holder Also Lie... to a Judge?

It's very simple: In his warrant application, Holder claimed to be interested in investigating James Rosen as a coconspirator in an espionage case. In addition, he claimed Rosen was a "flight risk," which would justify even closer monitoring (to make sure he wasn't buying plane tickets on Kayak, I suppose).

Now he says he never had any intention of prosecuting Rosen. In other words: He now says he lied when he told the judge these things, in order to secure his license to snoop on Rosen.

Well, which is it? If he never had any intention of prosecuting Rosen, the warrant application is a fraud on the court.

If he did have such an intention... that raises some additional questions.
