Off the record?

Why would reporters ever be invited to speak “off the record” by a politician?

I do want an answer to this question. There is no plausible explanation.

Why would he have an “off the record” meeting with reporters? Off the record means they can't report it. That makes no sense. What is his operation with this? If there are any decent reporters in there, and he said leak the info., that reporter would blow the whistle on that - thinking of a Fox reporter.

Reporters take “off the record” briefings all the time.

They are nowhere near as ethical as they or their left-wing fans like to portray them as being.

Why would they want to speak on the record? Anything they say could be used against them later.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Who here thinks we will hear a complaint from the ‘opposition party’ much less the screaming fit this calls for?

Then ask yourselves why there is silence.

Coordinating the coverup between the WH and the MSM. Strictly off the record.

They were probably told they’ve gone too far already at ABC.

From what I’ve read only certain media types (the most reliable ones) were invited ... many that were excluded are pissed. Not a smart move.

Planting stories for the weekend talk shows.

I wonder if the POTUS is going to have Carney through a body to the lions. For Obama to protect himself, he has to give the media their villain.

Obama can't make Hillary the fall guy. The Clinton's won't stand for it. She's loyal to herself. She'll turn on Obama in obnoxious fashion, looking like a patriotic American in the process. Hillary would become a whistle blower.

For Obama to blame someone, they have to be either in on it, or powerless to defend themselves with help from the media.
