(CNN) - The FBI has begun an investigation into apparent leaks of classified information involving a U.S. cyberwarfare program against Iran, a U.S. official said Wednesday.

FBI spokesman Paul Bresson had no comment on the reported investigation.

Some leading senators have called for a congressional inquiry as well.

But the White House pushed back Wednesday against suggestions that it could be leaking classified information for political purposes.

"This administration takes all appropriate and necessary steps to prevent leaks of classified information or sensitive information that could risk ongoing counterterrorism or intelligence operations," Carney said aboard Air Force One as the president traveled to campaign events on the West Coast.

"Any suggestion that this administration has authorized intentional leaks of classified information for political gain is grossly irresponsible."

I wonder who the predetermined designated fall guy will be on this faux investigation being conducted by the Obama FBI.

Was Pelosi briefed on this??

[peeps36]

They are desperate to put out something that portrays their lump of shit in a positive light. They will do anything and everything to pump up his abysmal record.

Agreed, even the dumbest investigator should look around and say, “Hey, there’s something wrong here”!

[Da Coyote]

The FBI had better watch it.

The Holderdork “Just Us” Dept might have to investigate them back.

Wonder if there is a Pump You Up" ad campaign with Hans and Franz to portray Captain Thingamajig as "Ja! Dat Obama. He's no girly-man."

And letting Iran HAVE one of our classified drones rather than recover or destroy it. How hard could it have been to destroy it????? Reminds me of when Clinton GAVE the Chinese and/or Russia our F117 stealth fighter via Bosnia rather than destroy it. I’m sure China/Russia already have our F22 specs. It’s no friggin’ wonder we’ve not been invaded yet. We’ve completely lost any military advantage we had before the Kenyan took office. I also expect all submarine specs to be released now that there’s been an ‘accidental’ sub fire.

This may be a significant show of independence by the FBI against DOJ.

Director of FBI Mueller is a Bush appointee and a Marine (platoon commander in Vietman) and most assuredly sees and disapproves of what is going on at DOJ and White House.

WHERE THE HELL IS SPEAKER BOEHNER?

[GeorgeWashingtonsGhost]

Pelosi was briefed but she already forgot that she was.

[surrey]

I’ve always wondered why Obama kept Mueller. He doesn’t seem to fit with the rest of the radical cabal.

[newzjunkey]

Leaking classified info in the Obama administration gets a yawn from the Media, “outing” Valerie Plame becomes a “Gate” obsession.

Can someone please explain to me why it's taking the FBI more than two minutes to locate the perpetrator of these leaks (Joe Biden) and arrest him (Joe Biden) put him in handcuffs (Joe Biden) beat him about the head and neck (Joe Biden) before taking him off to jail (Joe Biden) where he'll never be seen or heard of again (Joe Biden.)

Doesn't EVERYONE know Biden can't keep his mouth shut?

At the carnival, you know the Gravitron: it spins around, picking up speed, the floor drops out and the riders are pinned to the wall? One rider loses it & urks-up, and that starts a chain reaction and the next thing you know, everyone on the ride is covered in partially digested cord dogs and lemonaids. It's something like that. Boner heard that the music died last night, so ...

[tumblindice]

Mmmmmmm--cord dogs!

Here's a hint to the FBI: First see if you can find any illegal aliens in the white hut.

Hint #2: See if you can find any Muslims or Muslim sympathizers...

"Any suggestion that this administration has authorized intentional leaks of classified information for political gain is grossly irresponsible."

I think that is what is referred to as a non-denial denial. Jay, just answer the question: Did someone in the WH leak the material?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Call me skeptical...

[lodi90]

Did someone in the WH leak the material?

Brennan had a real big mouth during the osama take down. I would start the investigation with him.

[Joe Boucher]

Sooo,
Any one have ANY confidence in the F B I ?
I sure as he’ll do not.

It's amazing how good Carney's gotten at his gig. He doesn't even have to think about it as he deflects fault to the questioner.
