Here’s a turning point: a reporter is actually trying to trap Carney / Obama. “Does the President believe that there are circumstances where a reporter soliciting classified information is committing a crime?”, which he knows is NOT a crime under current law, with no exceptions. It is the guy giving that classified info that would be committing a crime.

Rosen is in big trouble. The president is seeking a balance and that is scary stuff......because the scale always tips the tyrants direction.

The WH site will have a transcript probably tomorrow, maybe later today, look for “press briefings”. Politico used to have the transcripts live. Now they don't do it at all. It used to be the whole transcript then some things on it now nothing. I will look at the evil WH site if I have to for this one!!!!

Make no mistake. Rosen is an example and a warning to all journalists.

Ben Howe ‏@BenHowe 1m Carney's definition of discussing an ongoing investigation: Anything questions doesn't want to answer.

Actually happened:
Boss: I don’t want the programmers talking to the users.
later
VP: Who was the idiot who decided the programmers couldn’t talk to users?
Boss: I don’t know but I’ll find out.
Later
Boss: Who told the VP that the programmers weren’t allowed to talk to users?
(crickets)
Boss: Whose idea was that?
Underling: Your’s
Boss: Oh so it is MY fault? I don’t know what you heard but that’s not what I said.

I imagine the same conversation is happening in the White House now.

so true ... wonder if the reporters will line up to board the trains with their families. They better take down obama and his crowd if they want to avoid the trains. obama and his crowd do not like this round of questioning.
