IMO Carney was reading a statement that was carefully crafted by Barry's personal and campaign lawyers.
I don't believe for a minute that Barry called Hillary “to get an update” but rather to dictate the campaign team's talking points deflecting blame from Barry and Hillary onto the “totally unanticipated” video for which neither of them could be held responsible.
What a wee little man-child he is, calling his sos instead of conferring and planning with the big boys and generals.
What update did he expect? HE was not making anything happen!! As TigersEye posts, only HE could give the permission to cross borders to rescue or attack, WHAT DID HE THINK WOULD HAPPEN?
I pray that he will be unmasked to the masses, that he will be seen for the evil little man he really is. As with the emperor with no clothes, may more and more people shed the deception they've fallen for and be willing to say so.
Lawyers instead of generals.
As we knew from the beginning, it was more important to deflect blame than to save lives. He had his crisis (yet another), and yet again it was only about HIM.
He is indeed a most miserable wretch.
