Is it just me?
Or does Team O not care about the law until they get caught, then toss the blame somewhere like we don't see what is going on?
Way back last week Team O started their Fishy Email link. You remember, if you get an Email about Obamacare that looks like it is fishy, send it to the White House site, so they can set the record straight. How they were going to do that was kind of iffy.
I was planning on sending the congressional web site to them, because everything looks fishy there.
I went to some lefty forums on the Internet, and saw people bragging about how they turned in this person or that person to the White House. Spooky stuff, very much reminiscent to the way the Nazi's got folks to turn each other in.
By the middle of the week, even the ACLU made a public statement that said they thought this had crossed the line. That in itself is like a flare going up that something nefarious was happening.
Towards the end of last week, Major Garret from Fox News asked every one's favorite Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs, about the fact that suddenly people were getting Emails from the White House that they never signed up for.
Mr Gibb's mumbled and looked irritated, and then dismissed the questions and moved on. For the next three days Mr Garret seemed to have hit a brick wall trying to get an answer. He even got permission from some of the Email recipients to give their Email address to Mr Gibbs so he could check it against their list.
List? They said they weren't compiling a list from that sight. Blunder number one. So they were compiling a list from the Emails turned in to them from the Fishy Information site.
Through Sunday, Mr Garret could not get Mr Gibbs to respond and check his list against the Emails. But today is a whole new week. And things change quickly in Washington, especially when you are trying to cover your self.
Today the White House announced that the Emails sent from the White House were really sent from un-named third party groups. Today the Fishy turn in your friends and family web site has been disabled.
Something just does not look right here. Now why would they shut down their site, once questions are being asked. Unless they are doing what we all feared they are doing.
And it doesn't look right to the ACLU either. This must be the first time I agree with them in 20 years.
No matter how you slice it, the White House seems to have been collecting Emails of dissidents, and using that list. That is against the law.
And now the Government finger pointing and blame deflection has started. Something they seem to do a lot of.
Somebody tell them they are not in Chicago anymore.
