Missouri Governor Jay Nixon adamantly denies that the White House pressured him to resist sending in the National Guard in response to violent protesters unhappy with the Michael Brown shooting decision. It is clear, however, that Nixon has been in close contact with President Obama's senior advisor Valerie Jarrett as the chaotic situation unfolded. According to the White House, Jarrett spoke with Nixon the first night of the protests as well as the morning after. Deputy Press Secretary Eric Schultz confirmed that Jarrett received updates from Nixon, promising to stay in close touch as the situation continued. Valerie spoke to Governor Nixon both last night and this morning, and has been briefing the President on an ongoing basis since last night, Schultz said, speaking to reporters on Air Force One. And in each of those conversations with Governor Nixon, Valerie has pledged to stay in close coordination with the Governor in making sure that hes getting the support he needs from the federal government. Schultz refused to say whether or not President Obama spoke on the phone with anyone about the protests sweeping the nation, but revealed that White House staff spoke with mayors across the country to coordinate a proper response. Jarrett and Attorney General Eric Holder also spoke with civil rights leaders the first night of the protests, continuing their close coordination as the grand jury decision approached. As you know, we've been working closely with them for the past few months leading up to this point to make sure that responses to this moment would be appropriate and constructive, Schultz said.

You need to update the pictures of Jarrett ,living the good life at the White House ,ah she has put on a few pounds ,LOL
Nixon had hours, if not days, of notice of the announcement. Plenty of time to get the Guard into place and protect Ferguson
That he didn’t, and disappeared, is grounds to get his sorry *** out of the Governor’s Mansion .. permanently
Stonewalled In Obama's Garden of Beasts
The little budding Joseph Goebbels sure gets around, doesn't he?
Help was nearby but wasn’t given. Leadership was unreachable. - Benghazi, Missouri
Well if there was any doubt about a Jarrett stand down order in Benghazi, now we have the Jarrett stand down order in Ferguson.
Well, I guess that explains why Gov Nixon could not return Ferguson City Mayor James W. Knowles’ repeated phone calls begging Nixon to send the Missouri National Guard after the police had been over run by rioters, looters, arsonists and at least one murderer and while much of Ferguson was being burned to the ground.
He was busy tied up on the phone with Valerie Jarrett
Orchestrated by the white hut, anyone surprised? they want this along with illegals fooding the country, ruining the healthcare system, the economy, the military. Hoping this takes root in inner cities to the point where he may have to institute martial law is something the tin foil hat wearers have been leading on to for 6 years. These enemies are not traitors because they were never one of us they are the enemies outside the gates who now are inside and moving quickley before the 2 years are up.
It is sad that these people are in leadership positions in this country! Sadder is that those who could stop this lawlessness will not because they fear the ‘next election’!!!!!
A congressional investigation of the POTUS and his minions is needed for this. Of course problem is, where would it be prioritized with the other 53 that are needed?
so sez Benghazi Bob
Good points... and you're right - - they're idiots if they think that way...
Valerie made him an offer he couldn’t refuse? Maybe...
Hell is comin and that hell is the town proper
Wait til this is digested
and watch the t v whores run cover
"As you know, we've been working closely with them for the past few months leading up to this point to make sure that responses to this moment would be appropriate and constructive, Schultz said.
