Rosen recalled having asked about the secret talks at State Department press briefings twice in 2013.

But when Rosen called up the video, he was surprised to find that the entire exchange with Psaki, several minutes long, was missing. He asked the State Department about it, and it said that it had found an intact video in a repository and restored it.

“Genuinely, we think it was a glitch,” said Elizabeth Trudeau, director of the press office, in a May 10 briefing.

According to Kirby, who succeeded Psaki last year, the Rosen section was edited out the day Psaki made the statement, after a technician was called by someone within the press office.

“They learned that a specific request was made to excise that portion of that briefing,” he said. “We do not know who made the request to edit the video, or why it was made.”

Psaki, now White House communications director, denied it was her.

This administration makes Hitler’s propaganda ministry look like pikers in comparison.

They sure like that word "glitch"... it's such a cliche'

Nothing but scum, the whole lot.

Yeah that's the ticket, no one has a clue who did it. The State video editor dreamed it all up on his own. How easy would it be to subpoena this guy and start the ball rolling. No way with the complicit GOPe

“I ran out of gas. I... I had a flat tire. I didn’t have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn’t come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts! IT WASN’T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!”

These people are absolute imbeciles, or are pathological liars. One or both of those things must certainly be true.

This cannot be done. It's completely obvious that BOTH parties, and ALL of the mainstream media, decided early on that "The First Black President" cannot be a failure, cannot be corrupt, cannot be a tin-horn dictator. After all, he is an INSPIRATION to generations of black children, so all foibles MUST be covered up.

The hilarious thing is, I'm certain, the tell-all books that are published in the first couple of years after he is out of office will be BRUTAL. And those generations of black children are just going to have to deal with it.

America has come to expect lies from obama’s minions, as from obama himself.

The phone conversation must have gone something like this /sarc

video editor:

“Hello”

unidentified, unknown, stranger:

“Yes, please edit out James Rosen’s question and Psaki’s answer from today’s briefing”.

video editor:

“Okay, consider it done”.

video editor’s colleague:

“Who was that?”

video editor:

“I have no idea, but I have to delete several minutes of today’s briefing video”.

video editor’s colleague:

“On whose authority?”

video editor:

“On that unidentified, unknown, stranger’s authority”

video editor’s colleague:

“Okay then”.

Rosen was the guy , wasn’t he, who the Obama administration wiretapped even though the former Obama admin officials now claim they never wiretapped an American citizen?
