White House spokesman Jay Carney declined to comment Monday on Edward Snowden, who has admitted disclosing classified information about the administrations national security surveillance programs. I will say at the outset that there is obviously an investigation underway into this matter, Carney told reporters during his daily briefing. And for that reason, I am not going to be able to discuss specifically this individual or this investigation
nor would I characterize the presidents views on an individual or an ongoing investigation.

Pretty soon, everything this administration does will be “under investigation,” and he won’t be able to comment on anything.

Perhaps they should assign Snowden to investigate himself. That approach seems to work for Holder’s investigations on himself.

This is so Wag The Dog.
The White Hut is gng to milk this for all it’s worth. In a week no one will care about Benghazi, the IRS, or pick a scandal Holder involved with.

Yep. He’ll just walk up to the podium.. say it’s all under investigation and turn around and walk off.
Would save everyone a whole lot of time.

That would certainly help illuminate the preposterous nature of Holder's self-investigationS

The Current Regime should be “under investigation”. It must be so, because they do not provide a definitive position on ANYTHING.
Waffle, Straddle, Backfill & Belial is the law firm engaged in keeping this sort of bad publicity bottled up.
Except it keeps leaking out, no matter HOW many denials are issued or denunciations are hurled.

Obama never comments on anything where the investigation is underway. For example, the Trayvon Martin case.

If the war on terror is over, why do we need to collect data on foreigners? Why not just focus on the insurgency (Tea Party)? People wanting fair taxes are causing all the problems.

Calling Edward Snowden - wherever you are ! Let Ed know that in his next press conference that should be what he says !
"I've got a handle on the leak. I've taken charge of the investigation, I will get to the bottom of it. I can't say any more because it is an ongoing investigation. And it all has to do with national security."
