2. But why??

At whose behest?

She speaks before ABA and lets this information "slip out"?

Perhaps she didn't understand the significance of her words?

Still, the biggest question remains: Why is the fact that she let this story "slip out" more important than the fact that "some people" were laundering campaign money thru these Tea Party groups so they could remain anonymous? Shouldn't that be the main story here rather than what did the President know and when did he know it??
