White House holds 'deep background' Benghazi briefing

by DYLAN BYERS
5/10/13 1:54 PM EDT

The White House held a "deep background" briefing with reporters on Friday afternoon to discuss recent revelations about the Benghazi investigation, sources familiar with the meeting tell POLITICO.

The meeting was conducted on "deep background," according to White House spokesman Josh Earnest, but sources told POLITICO that the existence of the meeting was "off the record." The meeting began around 12:45 p.m. and postponed the daily, on-the-record White House press briefing until mid-afternoon.

Any person who thinks himself/herself a “credible ethical journalist” would have indignantly insisted the entire press corps assigned to the White House be present at this ‘collusion meeting’.

It is disgusting and reprehensible. And they (the collective evil ‘they’. Wring their hands and wonder why so many of us are so angry we are ready to take up arms and banish them.

..”deep background” meeting was held to remind the chosen media members that they TOO are up to their necks in it, since half of the population of America thinks their co-conspirators with the muslim infested WH.

“I’d like to see a list of the ‘reporters’ that were invited to that briefing.”

It would look like the credits on a porno flick.

There are credits on porno flicks?

On the plus side, someone divulged that this briefing occurred. Another snowflake in the avalanche.

Outstanding work.

Now, where did we hear of a “Deep (something)” before?

"You guys have been great. We all decided it would be better for President Obama's reelection chances to cover-up the Benghazi terrorist attack and State Dept. failures."

"Be strong my friends! This too will pass with your support and dedication to the Obama Administration."

Deep Cover in a press briefing? Sounds like a non sequitor to me.

LMAO....Well done!!..it could go on forever with every single liberal alive...

how about Hank Johnson explaining away why nobody was allowed in Benghazi to investigate the atrocities..

We were worried Libya would capsize if too many investigators were allowed in that small seaside resort...

The Obama administration treats the press like they are a bunch of monkeys.

“The press is asking some tough questions! What should we do?”

“Throw ‘em a banana.”
