White House to investigate leak of CIA chief’s name: ‘We’re trying to understand’
NY Daily News ^ | 5/28/14 | Leslie Larson

The White House will investigate how Obama's press team managed to accidentally leak the name of the CIA's Chief of Station in Kabul.

Chief of Staff Denis McDonough has deputized White House counsel Neil Eggleston to look into how the name of the top U.S. spy in Afghanistan ended up on Obama's itinerary for his weekend trip to Afghanistan, which was emailed to an estimated 6,000 members of the press.

Eggleston will review what led to the disastrous mistake and make recommendations to prevent such a disclosure from happening again.

I am so glad the WH chief of staff deputized another WH flunky to investigate this.

This is no ordinary flunky. He's the Clinton's top scandal/impeachment management lawyer that Obomba recently hired to keep the lid on his many bubbling scandals.

Nobody is madder than Obama.

He’s mad, I tell you, mad.

It’s because 0bama does not attend his daily briefings not read the summaries on his IPAD

If one wants to communicate information to 0bama, one leaks said information to the Press, which is eventually reported on ESPN

You are correct. Amazing how the Clintonoids have been woven into the Obama Administration from the beginning.

It was planned — like the murders of Seal Team 6
and the murders of the VETS.

Planned by Obama, Reid, and Pelosi - traitors
to the American people and the US Constitution.

Is there any connection between the CIA in Afganistan and those who manned the outpost in Bengauzi ? Those agents had to come from somewhere and disappear to another station after the fiasco Did the exposé their leader to make an example and thereby keep them in line?
Is there a connection?

Two words: community, organizer.

I’m still astonished that people have been convinced that this moron would’ve been a good president. Amazingly, the media is quick to shoot down “unqualified” republicans. Zero has been given a pass because he’s of color and is Democrat.

You can only hide the incompetence and lying so long.

Just a little dot to possibly connect. The community that 0 organized was control by a black Muslim street gang ( founded by mexican drug cartell) involved in domestic terrorism that was funded thru FerretCon by Kadaffi thru a gun running They had materials purchased and targets chosen

All coincidental I’m sure!

"Scooter Libby didn’t out anyone."

A federal jury convicted I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby of lying about his role in the leak of an undercover CIA officer's identity.

No, he was convicted of perjury but it was not about “his role in the leak,” it was never established that he had any role in the leak, mainly because the actual leaker was never charged - pprobably because the leaker turned out to be on the staff of Colin Powell.
