I believe they are so sure that no one will do anything about their lies, they lie and laugh and are brazen enough to double down. It is a very dangerous arrogance.
Fact is, it has worked so far.
One astute observer nails the narcisstic arrogance and smugness of the alien thing called "Tommy":
"Vietor displays the same arrogance, pretentiousness, and pernicious attitude that seems to permeate every aspect of the Obama administration.
There is something so disingenuous about these people..... it reminds me of the disturbing arrogance and disingenuous attitude of hardcore offenders I treated as a doctor on medical rotation in a prison.....the same vibes I get with the Obama sycophants.....like Jay Carney."
Politicians give off the same disturbing vibes as ex-cons.....the same disingenuous attitude, and a gut instinct that they cannot be trusted.

BTW, try a google search of this ***hole Vietor's official NSC statements......he is an even bigger jerk than he was on Fox........ dam scary.
