Republicans are going crazy over the fact that Holder signed off on the warrant for Rosen's emails

24. They didn't accuse Rosen of violating the Espionage Act

They accused the leaker of violating the Espionage Act and part of the evidence against the leaker was Rosen's emails which the magistrate and the judge felt there was enough probable cause to seize by the Justice Department. The emails did detail both of them conspiring to receive the classified information which is illegal under law, but Rosen is not facing prosecution under the Espionage Act or any other law. However, there's no law that says you can't seize evidence from a journalist.

As for the interpretation of the Espionage Act, that's why we have a judiciary. That's why these kinds of warrants are reviewed by federal magistrates and federal judges. They review search warrant and interpret the law (the Espionage Act in this case)...they can then approve or reject the search warrant based on their findings.

They approved and went even further by saying the Justice Department had no need to notify Rosen or Fox News because technically the emails belonged to Google on Google's servers.

Google received the notification.

Totally legal.

There's no there there.
