The Washington Post´s article detailing the fourth amendment abuses by the NSA got some push back from the administration who attempted to "edit" the article before publication. The internal audit referenced in the article was obtained by the WaPo from Edward Snowden. The details of the audit indicated repeated and growing privacy violations by the NSA, violations which included obtaining thousands of American citizen´s communications records and using methods of information collection that were later deemed unconstitutional by a court. The Post was able to interview John Delong, NSA director of compliance for the article and they were initially

Notice how the MSM news brushed over the order by the FISA Court to the NSA to destroy 3,000 files which the NSA did not do. The thousands of “inadvertently” accessed communications were for the most part not inadvertent. This is a typical end run around the rules by blaming it on error. This is a serious business so if this was on the up and up there would be thousands of firing or demotions .... which there were obviously none .... it was a ruse.
What I can't figure out is why a Democrat party propaganda organ like the Washington post would diss its White House masters for the first time? It's weird. I'm sure they're scratching their heads at the White House, too, even as they plot revenge.
I am just waiting for one of these geniuses to figure out they can actually make money but doing ACTUAL journalism!
A jaded ARROGANT phrase uttered by a jaded, arrogant, corrupt and bought woman in a context meant to deflect responsibility and culpability---only to be usefully mimicked by conservatives, IMO, in a satirical context.
Remember her false-choice preface to that statement? IMO, that statement (and the preface--- especially the give-away preface) was a memorized retort in the Hillary prep folder waiting for the opportune time to pull it out.
Did I misunderstand you? You seem to be using the phrase as a conservative admission of defeat. Grim as the realities are (see my tagline), IMO, the fat lady hasn't sung....yet. Until then, my constitution drives me to fight on in the arena of opinion, substantiated by facts.
Wild guess. Maybe Bezos over-paid by $200M so he could cut all editorial ties with the Graham family and run a legit newspaper? Not likely, I know, but one can dream.
It’s a backhanded admission that the story was edited by the MiniTrue.
Even if it’s a vanity project for Bezos, he’s going to try to make it work.
This is like having a fox watching the foxes in the hen house.
Does anyone realize that there are 1700 Federal Judges and 3600 total Federal Judges and Magistrates. Put them on call, give them a bleeping Obama phone.
There is no reason for Anyone,,, to watch or listen to,,, Anything,,, without a warrant.
Moreover, this spying is also on federal officials, Judges and representatives which gives us better understanding of Judge Roberts position on Obama care.
Chicago Politics at its best.

Sure. My sense of Bezos is that he swings left but still he’s a businessman. Most liberal businessmen aren’t like Soros.
Unngh, didn’t think of that one.
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!

“Notice how the MSM news brushed over the order by the FISA Court to the NSA to destroy 3,000 files which the NSA did not do.”
i tried to locate this reference. I must have missed the obvious. Can you point me to the link for this?

The big name newspapers are in so deep they don’t know they are bringing down the freedom of the press.
“Journalist Michael Hastings Was Investigating CIA Director John Brennan Before He Was Killed in Fiery Car Crash”
Send that idea about the timeline to someone who can find out. Maybe breitbart or Greta wire.
Think you may be on to something. Convenient mistakes

Who is MiniTrue??
Ministry of Truth in newspeak from George Orwell’s 1984.
Their job was to “audit” the history and news so that it fit the official party line.
The original info.. Down the memory hole.
