Call me cynical, but I have doubts about any call by the liberals to investigate wrong doing by one of their own. Usually it's just a ploy to keep it covered up by giving them an excuse to not talk about it while it's "under investigation".

It will be "investigated" until everyone has forgotten about it, or they can manufacture the evidence they need to pin it on the designated fall guy.

Nothing like a courteous response. There is a coma after thanks for future reference.

Ask yourself: Did this leak help Obama look like he is getting the bad guys before they get us. Like SuperObamaMan? Will it help him win re-election?

The answer to all of these questions is YES and you don’t have to think about it much more than that to figure out who’s the source of this leak.

Let’s see, to the Left and MSM the Valerie Plame thing was practically a constitutional crisis... wrong party in the White House so this will elicit crickets.

This is S.O.P. for the NYT.

[Despot of the Delta]

President Jarrett leaked it.

[T. P. Pole]

If I was running this show, once I had extracted all the info available, and extracted all my people, I would "leak" something like this so that the remaining bad guys would not trust each other. Maybe they were only able to get one guy in, and now that he is out, they want to destroy internal confidence.

Of course, that requires competence, a quality sorely lacking in most entities.

I’ll believe it when a serious investigation that gets reported on happens. Until then I bet money this is swept under the rug, just like always!
