The White House held an off-the-record briefing with reporters on Friday afternoon to discuss recent revelations about the Benghazi investigation, sources familiar with the meeting tell POLITICO.

Yeah, but after today's press briefing, he may choose the new path of least resistance.
Is there a list of the conspiring “reporters”?
Wasn’t Valerie Plame just an intelligence analyst? Big deal. Their job titles are not classified.
I think they brought this up because it is the least worst thing they can find that is big enough to distract attention from whatever is the worst thing going on. We probably really don’t know what is the worst thing going on. It could be Benghazi, The Seals Murder, Protection of the Boston Bomber. That list of possibilities that are a lot worse is a long one.
This IRS thing does not cause about 1/2 the population much concern... not a general issue. Those other things could be general issues. The proletariat can even get upset about being lied to and they feel threatened by things that threaten them.... tax stuff doesn’t bother a lot of them at all but it is something the right can get outraged about and distract them from more universal issues.
Everything these thugs do is calculated. They don’t do good at long term or chess but they are constantly on the move stirring the pot, keeping the opposition off balance. They are arsonists lighting fires faster than we can put them out.
totally totally.
totally agree.
The last time up there was like a different country for me, the people the cost of living, their outlook on life, their manners,
Do you have a link of this briefing today please or anyone?
I wouldn’t count on Obama throwing Clinton under the bus. I get the impression that he’s willing to defend her, if only to keep the Democrats together.
Petraus has a chance now to be a patriot and tell all. Will he?
This isn’t the movies. Petraus will likely disappoint us in any response. He’s retired and doesn’t want to make waves.
Since he is retired and has his pension etc already, why wouldn’t he tell the truth now?
I can honestly say that my visit up to the north east was like another country and never again I hope.
We might as well just split into two countries right now because the NE and west coast are trying to tell us all how to live to their lifestyle and I for one won’t , nor will my family.
The DC press corps are a joke or is it corpse, never can know anymore but imagine Bush saying that .
Petraus is in with the rest contaminated by the Chicago Mafia and its minions. This is what a real conspiracy looks, leaks all over the place. We will wait to see if Obama has the raw power to keep the narrative.
I haven’t looked.
At present, the congress is in charge and doing very well. Anti speaker bigotry is presently out of place while his people are on a roll.
the anti speaker effort boils down to Friday morning pre game quarterbacking by the glee club.
Sad for me to remember, but in Sept,1976, I moved to West Los Angeles from the leftist east coast. It was “Reagan Country” then.
Fact 6...Academi, the company formerly known as Blackwater, was ready “two months ago” [July 2012] to go to Libya to protect diplomatic assets, a former Bush Administration official and another source say.
“No truth to this,” says [?] spokesperson Victoria Nuland.———16 posted on Saturday, September 15, 2012 12:52:12 PM by barryobi
I love Mark Levin’s term of endearment for Jay Carney...
Mark refers to him as the “SpokesIdiot.” Sez it all.
In case you missed this one. The White House held a closed-door, off-the-record briefing with carefully selected unidentified members of the so-called “media”. This took place several hours prior to today’s regularly scheduled White House briefing (which was delayed by several hours because of it).
We may or may not ever know what was said and to whom in that briefing, but it’s not hard to guess.
Anyway, there were some normally compliant media at the regular briefing who were probably not invited to the private briefing, and probably weren’t happy about that. As a result, some follow-up questions about Benghazi occurred that were at least a little stronger than the usual softballs.
I didn’t see the briefing, but read the posts on this thread. Here’s what I gathered about what Jay Carney had to say:
The talking points came from the CIA
Gen Patraeus wrote the talking points
Congress and the Republicans are creating a distraction
It’s Mitt Romney’s fault

Granted, there are a buncha lulu's from this admin.
ANSWER: Jay Carney suggesting that----even though Hillary "signed off" on Benghazi security----that does not mean she actually "knew" about it.
That's a winner Liz... thanks for sharing.
And.....”what video? “
