White House was not involved in ICE's decision to release detainees, Carney says
Politico44 A Living Diary of the Obama Presidency ^ | 2/27/13 | JENNIFER EPSTEIN

The White House and the Department of Homeland Security were unaware of Immigration Customs and Enforcement's decision to release detainees until the agency announced it, administration officials said Wednesday.

"This was a decision made by career officials at ICE without any input from the White House, as a result of fiscal uncertainty over the continuing resolution, as well as possible sequestration," White House press secretary Jay Carney said Wednesday.

Personnel at Department of Homeland Security headquarters in Washington were also unaware of the decision until the announcement was made, a department official told POLITICO.

Jay Carney is just following orders to say that the White House & DHS were "unaware", when the White House actually issued the orders themselves:

(former Obama WH spokesliar) Robert Gibbs: I was ordered not to acknowledge drone program existed
http://thehill.com/video/administration/284599-gibbs-press-secretaries-told-not-to-acknowledge-drone-program

Former White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Sunday that he and other administration spokesmen often seem evasive about the government's drone program because they have been told not to acknowledge the secret strikes.

“When I went through the process of becoming press secretary," Gibbs told MSNBC, "one of the things, one of the first things they told me was, 'You’re not even to acknowledge the drone program. You’re not even to discuss that it exists.' "

Obama's Media Punks won't call Carney on his lies, but that doesn't make them not lies...

Impossible, no bureaucrat has the power to open the doors and let the criminals loose. Any bureaucrat who did so, should be immediately fired and brought up on charges.

So, let’s see it happen.

Carney is just a liar. The More Scheisse Mom! media won't call him on it. We will.

The case in point: Politico posted the Gibbs story on 2/25/2013. Two days later, Politico posts the Carney ICE story, with nary a mention of the Gibbs droneliar story on their own website.
