Holder: I Don't Really Know How Many Times We've Secretly Monitored Reporters

Yesterday during a press conference, Attorney General Eric Holder claimed he had recused himself from the Associated Press leak investigation case "early on," didn't have facts on the issue and that responsibility for the case lies with his Deputy Attorney General James Cole. During an interview with NPR, Holder said he "isn't sure" how many times the Department of Justice has secretly monitored information belonging to journalists in the past four years, all during which he has been the country's chief law enforcement officer.
