The White House and Justice Department and Criminal Probes/Investigations
One of Several Right Wing Accusations for justifying a Witch Hunt:
Reality Bites:
This is like Romney commenting and trying to score cheap political points on the Libyan crisis while it was unfolding and before news reached us that Americans had been murdered.
The right wing just lost another of their bullshit issues
The White House and Justice Department and Criminal Probes/Investigations
One of Several Right Wing Accusations for justifying a Witch Hunt:
"It just doesn't add up. That the FBI would be carrying on this type of investigation without, again, bringing it to the president or the highest levels of the White House," Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., said.
Reality Bites:
The FBI withheld its findings about Gen. David Petreaus' affair from the White House and congressional leaders because the agency considered them the result of a criminal investigation that never reached the threshold of an intelligence probe, law enforcement sources said today.
The sources said agents followed department guidelines that generally bar sharing information about developing criminal investigations. The FBI is also aware of its history under former director J. Edgar Hoover of playing politics and digging into the lives of public figures. As one official said, the rules are designed to protect people (both private and elected officials) when negative information about them arises in the course of a criminal investigation that is not a crime.
This is like Romney commenting and trying to score cheap political points on the Libyan crisis while it was unfolding and before news reached us that Americans had been murdered.
