Meanwhile over at DU they’re busy discussing whether or not masculinity is a social construct. Head -> sand.

Are these the same reporters who claim special Constitutional powers because the Public Has A Right To Know?

Off the record means they can't report it. Off the record information can be reported if corroborated by an attributed source.

Classified operations in Benghazi running weapons, and discussing it is forbidden because we were not running weapons to Syrian rebels while we were really running weapons to Syrian rebels.
So please don't ax any mo questions.

AprilDRyan @AprilDRyan 5m @DanaPerino Gotcha! As you know I want answers on the record. It is not partisan for me just about good reporting of a big story. AprilDRyan @AprilDRyan 40m This off the record briefing is not a partisan issue but a matter of journalism and getting true on the record quotes for reports. AprilDRyan @AprilDRyan 45m @DanaPerino i was not in there and no on refused when you and Ari did it. AprilDRyan @AprilDRyan 29m I am so unsettled about this.

Should. Wont but should. He cant. It would fly in the face of the months he ignored the issue. Let Cruz do it.

Some people like the Plantation. They are welcome to a life of servitude and broken promises.
I have basically given up. Too few of us care. Hell they revel in their ignorance.

“off the record briefing” - so a private, secret meeting with the press. Literally, the press is having a strategy session with the White House on how to counteract the negative light this shines on the administration.
We have no free press - they are voluntarily doing the bidding of the government as loyal Democrat party activists.

Dana Perino @DanaPerino 16h WH reporters freaked out, rightly so, & demanded a correction & a blood oath it would never happen again. Where are those reporters now? 2/2 Expand Dana Perino Dana Perino @DanaPerino 16h Thinking fondly of when Tony Snow forgot to thank a staff member in a press briefing and he tried to fix by amending the transcript 1/2

If there were any Republicans with huevos that is exactly what they would do. If the situation was reversed that is what Harry Reed and Pelosi would do.
These guys really need to read FR to get tips on how to handle the Dems. Lol

Itll be interesting to see how the reporters report after this....watch the body language too. It should be interestng, and it was definitely pretty brazen to hold any sort of off-the-record meeting between the WH and the lap dog media at this point.
Rush mentioned a press briefing that was supposed to take place at first, I think, 1:45 eastern, and then later, that still hadn't taken place. Maybe the same gathering that turned out to be off-the-record.

I get the feeling that they are setting this up so that they will admit to a cover up but that they had a good reason to do it. They are going to claim that the cover up was necessary as part of some national security issue that they can’t talk about because it involves sensitive national security issues (like gun running to the terrorists).
They called the press together to try to sell them on the idea so they will all be on the same page when the SHTF. .
