Carney: White House aides insulated Obama from IRS scandal




The Washington Times

Monday, May 20, 2013

Top White House aides first learned of a draft report detailing IRS abuses in targeting conservative groups in late April, but they chose to insulate President Obama by not informing him until it exploded in the press, the president’s spokesman said Monday.

White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters Monday that White House counsel Kathy Ruemmler learned about an IRS inspector general’s draft report looking into the singling out of conservative groups on April 24. She advised senior White House staff including chief of staff Denis McDonough — about the then-draft report, but Mr. Carney said she believed that Mr. Obama shouldn’t be told and other staffers followed her advice.

Well, you know, they keep proferring a theory until one takes. Then they take the theory that does the least damage to their poll numbers, select theory, and play as truth like a record, over and over, until people forget all else that was said. They learned it from Hollyweird.

This "plausible deniability" Crap needs to stop with Barry and, more importantly, these bootlicking communists that worship him need to finally come to terms with the FACT that their boy is a crooked SOB.

 

[tinydancer]

Insulating the President from a potential massive scandal?

What's wrong with this picture?

 

[hortysir]

"Insulated"

= Human Shields

What makes you think they don't already know that and don't care one bit?

Have any of you listened to the press briefing?

This is one of the most pathetic things I've ever read. One doesn't protect a leader or boss by hiding the truth and waiting for an ugly public blow up.

Really.

I wonder if any one yet has told him he really is the president.

Sorry, LL. I've been following the Tornados in Moore OK today. That sucker plowed 36 square miles on a path two miles wide in some places.

Well,

The press briefing took place several hours before the tornado hit.

Carney simply stated that WH counsel was aware of the report being compiled on April 24. But, as it was incomplete and the details known were very "broad" in nature, advising the POTUS was not protocol.

Insulated? My ass.

Sadly, you're probably right.

I have a couple of questiions.

• Who are the people who decide what Obama doesn't need to know?
• Who is running the government?

Didn't someone make a big scene about this when it happened under Reagan?

Apparently you are the one that did not listen. What actually happened is that the White House counsel knew about the findings, thought the president should get a heads up, so they informed Obama's Chief of Staff.

The best part is that this comes from MSNBC.

But in Monday’s briefing, he revealed that after White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler was informed that the probe was coming to its conclusion, she told White House chief of staff Denis McDonough and other senior White House staff. Carney also said that Ruemmler was made aware of the report’s key finding: that IRS personnel had improperly targeted conservative groups for special scrutiny. And he added that the White House then held meetings with the Treasury Department to discuss strategy for responding to the report.
“There were conversations with White House chief of staff and with Treasury about the anticipated timing of the release of the report and the potential findings,” Carney said.

White House story on IRS targeting evolves ? MSNBC

Love to see you dismiss this as a right wing conspiracy.
