Personally, I doubt he didn’t know.
I just think he didn’t care, or he honestly thought it could be spun into a positive.
Recall the spin, song and dance routines they did over Benghazi?
They thought they could sweep it under the rug or spin it as a “wrinkle” in national relations.
Once that didn’t work, they buried it, ignored it, and signalled the lapdog media to do the same.
They may try a similar tack with this.
First, downplay the events, claim Zero knew nothing, then if that doesn’t work, bury it and ignore it.
