Sounds like news to me.
The bigger story afoot is the Sestack offer that Gibbs has been flubbing. Not even spinning.
This situation is bound to blow up as well at this point. This is an invitation to some wanna be in the press to make a name for themselves. And as usual, it will not be the dark secret, but the cover-up that is the killer.
A “wannabe” in the press has to have a “mainstream” publisher like the WaPo ot NYT that decides that fame and profits trump establishing the New Utopia.
