The White House has apologized to Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) for failing to alert her in advance of a decision to release Taliban commanders from Guantanamo Bay.
Feinstein told reporters that she received a call from Deputy National Security Adviser Tony Blinken on Monday evening apologizing for what the administration is calling an oversight.
I had a call from the White House last night, from Tony Blinken, apologizing for it, she said.
He apologized and said it was an oversight, she added.

WH doesn’t have a PINGlist for ALL members of Congress?

She knew before it happened. They’re just giving her cover. Mitch McConnell and John Cornyn were also told ahead of time.

Wow I thought Obama said that Congress was consulted. Apparently not according to the WH.

So, it’s ok so long as it was an “oversight”?
Gee, Officer... I know I was going 110mph, but it was an oversight that I was going that fast.

A nice closed system they have there - the democrat executive breaks the law, apologizes to democrat senate intelligence committee chairwoman, who declares the matter settled.
Lather, rinse, repeat.

100%. They're just giving her cover. McConnell and Cornyn and McCain were also told in advance by Obama and they decided not to tell anyone else.

Why do I get the feeling that she knew all about it in advance with a nod and a wink —
To: don-o
It didn’t sound like an “oversight” when Susan Rice said the administration had to move so fast they didn’t have time for the Congressional notification. Oversight or didn’t have time? Which is it? Sort of like the video or terrorist attack ... and Rice got sent out AGAIN to muddy the water. Bottom line, the Rat B’s are lying one way or the other.

The first claim was that they did a legal review and decided they could proceed without Congress. NOW it was an oversight.
LIARS!

“Mitch McConnell and John Cornyn were also told ahead of time.”
And you know this as fact how?
