As the email scandal surrounding former Secretary of State and potential 2016 Democrat nominee Hillary Clinton continues to grow, with a congressional committee headed by Rep. Trey Gowdy issuing subpoenas last week, the White House is doing everything it can to distance itself from the situation.
In light of revelations Clinton used a private email address (and possibly more than one) to conduct all of her government business during her time at the State Department, President Obama is saying he learned about her practice through news reports "like everybody else." Further, Obama argued the standard policy of his administration is transparency.
"The same time everybody else learned it through news reports," Obama said in an interview with CBS News over the weekend after being asked directly about when he first knew Clinton was using a private address for State Department business. "The policy of my administration is to encourage transparency, which is why my emails, the Blackberry I carry around, all those records are available and archived, and I'm glad that Hillary’s instructed that those emails about official business need to be disclosed."

Last week TIME's Zeke Miller asked White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest about whether President Obama had ever emailed directly with Clinton during her time in the administration. Earnest said he wasn't going to publicly discuss private discussions between the President of the United States and a cabinet member.
This is far from the first time the administration has used the "learned it on the news" talking point to get away from a scandal.

The use of private email by government officials working in the Obama administration in order to avoid federal records laws and the Freedom of Information Act is nothing new and has been a wide spread problem in the Obama administration for years. Top officials at the Environmental Protection Agency, IRS and Department of Justice have all engaged in this practice.
Exit question: Who else in the administration has been using private emails to conduct most, if not all, of their government business? Time will tell.
In short, “he knows nothing”. Tough to disagree...
I think he knows we on the right knows he’s lying , but he still gets pleasure seeing how many of his sheeple still believe his lies.
HOW MANY times has he used that one?
Extremely insulted.
It’s the same way he found out Mooch was a tranny.
And yet he feels qualified to tell the media that our economy is the best it’s been since the late bronze age.
this whole administration “knows” nothing except.....if you give $100 to a political opponent....or an NRA associated group....or if you attend a religious service regularly, you can bet your Odungo gag doll THEY KNOW ABOUT IT
So in 4 years he never sent her an email? Never noticed that email address “thebeast@clinton.com“??
So, he’s either lying, in which case we have to ask why should we tolerate a chief executive who lies about something this important?
Or, he really didn’t know, in which case why should we tolerate a chief executive who is so incompetent that he doesn’t know what his most prominent and high-profile subordinate is doing?
Other reports say the WH knew about the emails since August.

Probably laughs out loud about it.
5% has, in the past, been recognized as the point at which we have full employment. Those getting hired are those that already have jobs and are just seeking a bigger/better deal.
The “official” unemployment rate was reported at 5.5%.
They’re actually trying to tell us that only .5% of the population that wants a job hasn’t found one.
Well in that case, Mr. President, you have no business governing The People because its obvious you are either not paying attention to your job orintelligence briefings, the American People are better at collecting intel about threats than you or your agencies, or you’re just a damn liar. I’m betting C....

The Limbaugh Theorum on display.
Someone needs to invent an Obozo doll that says I unexpectedly found out from the news period!
Of course he knows noting about texts, emails and calls between himself and her heinois.
WOW ! Historians are going have a lot of fun with this guy.
Factual ones who seek the truth and the Revisonists who will want ro cover it up.
Commie DemocRATS like Soetoro and Clinton crack me up. Soetoro is taking a page out of the Clinton Manifesto. Slick Willie told us that he found out about Lewinsky on CNN. Americans are idiots for putting up with this kind of nonsense from these clowns.
