White House launches internal probe into accidental outing of CIA official
Fox News ^ | 5/27/14 | Staff

The White House has launched an internal probe after its press office inadvertently outed the top CIA official in Afghanistan -- a national security blunder that could put that individual at risk. A spokeswoman with the National Security Council confirmed to Fox News that the White House chief of staff asked White House Counsel Neil Eggleston to “look into what happened” and make recommendations on “how the administration can improve processes and make sure something like this does not happen again.” The brief statement from the National Security Council was the first on-the-record comment made by the administration since the

“We can’t comment as there is an investigation ongoing.”

4 phases of how the Obama Admin deal with crises:

1. Express Outrage

2. Resignation of a low level lackey.

2. Claim that there is an investigation under way.

4. after 6 months of inaction, claim it is a partisan issue.

"How did this happen"

"We are incompetent idiots."

"Right, but what will we tell the press?"

"Anything, they are incompetent idiots too."

"Problem is some of them are starting to ask some real questions."

"Well then we will just investigate it until it's a non-story, then we will blame someone and give them a promotion."

"OK, its worked before."

The model is have for this is sort of like the IRS scandal:

After it first broke, the gummint folks all said, “Come on..! You know the guv is totally incompetent..! Do you REALLY think they could orchestrate all these politically motivated audits WITHOUT word leaking out and causing a HUGE scandal…?!?!!” >_<

Now, you and I do know they’re incompetent, sure.

But gummint folks think we PEASANTS are the idiots who walk around with a warm wet spot on our trousers all day, and that we can’t tie our shoes —they think THEY are the geniuses.

When a gummint person TELLS you to consider them as TOTAL IDIOTS you can be very, very sure that there is a very desperate attempt to hide something EXTREMELY bad.

Another little-known point that I’m not sure you’ll believe:

The CIA chief-of-station posting is made IN OPEN COLLABORATION WITH THE HOST COUNTRY.

Yeah, they ALREADY KNOW who he or she is. And why shouldn’t they? That guy will probably never leave the Embassy, anyway. FIELD AGENTS really do the important work.

Did the Regime really give up that much via this “slip up”…? No.

This was NOT a mistake and they didn’t give up as much as people are thinking.

.... he was really mad. He won’t sleep until responsible parties have been identified and punished and measures have been taken to ensure nothing like this ever happens again.

******************************

We’ll know he’s really, really, really mad for real when he won’t play golf until responsible parties have been identified, etc. [/sar]

Monday the WH press office was already blaming 'the military'. They said the military provided the list and they initially ran with it, until someone pointed out the CIA person listed.

My question to that: Why would the military provide a list that also included CIA personnel?

How much of an internal probe do you need to read the part of a memo which says "From" and "To"?

Geeze effin Geeze!

I don’t believe it was accidental and I’d say there’s a cover up going on. Is this guy connected in any way to that Muzzie that just got promoted per a nearby thread.

Manufactured investigation to try to draw the sheeple’s attention away from Benghazi, the IRS, and on and on!
