HMMMMMMMMM... CLAIM: James Rosen Targeted by Eric Holder For Three Reasons: Obama Critic, Fox News and Jewish

Only a handful of top Justice Department officials likely know the real reasons James Rosen of Fox News was targeted by Eric Holder, and at least one may* ( and I repeat, may) have been brave enough to leak it. An email, received from an anonymous, purported insider, states the following (some details redacated upon request):

Brass at RFK [Attorney General's office at Main Justice] set on making an example of Fox aggressive reports going after POTUS. Rosen targeted as "aggressive Jew" behind Fox critics of POTUS. DPRK [North Korea] report was not much to pin Rosen but enough. Fact he was Fox and Jewish put him in Holder (Obama?) crosshairs. Look up rreporting Rosen did. re: Petrobs [Petrobas - link] loan and no-bid Checchi [Checchi and Company Consulting, an Obama campaign contributor - link] deal for reasons.

I added the descriptions and links inside the brackets, but left the typos.

* Full caveat and disclosure: I can't verify the authenticity of this email. It was sent through an anonymous remailer and additional details were removed at the request of the sender.

That said, if the IRS targeting Jewish groups (as well as a litany of conservative and Tea Party organizations) is any indication, the report is believable on its face.

Of course its believable: They were actively target jewish, conservatives, donors and anti gov. and he would be at the top of the list as a perceived threat that needed to be slowed down.
