EVERY story I've read that COULD provide important context such as what you're mentioning here ... does the exact opposite.

As such, IMHO ... (pulling my tin foil firmly into place)

I believe that TPTB are trying to send PBO a clear message ... "OUR people are EVERYWHERE, and we CAN bring you DOWN ... Perhaps you should consider resignation?"

All of this sort of news, coming out all rapid-fire, the way it's been coming out ... I'm sorry, but this doesn't just randomly 'happen'.

Anyone who doesn't see the all-out attempt to bring down the Obama Administration happening in pretty much EVERY remotely mainstream media outlet (the WaPo in particular) ... appears to me to be either clueless, or willfully blind.

Someone with a lot of money, and a lot of power, is trying to take Obama down/get him to resign.

It's freaking obvious as hell to me. People like Greenwald are (probably) just unknowing pawns in this scheme. You think it's a just a coincidence that HE, of ALL PEOPLE ... given his recent, freaked-out 'Fascism is coming'-themed articles ... just HAPPENS to be the one to get the 'secret info', and break this particular story?

I don't think it's a coincidence at ALL. The goal here is to turn Progressives against Obama. It's not enough to get the Freeper-types onboard ... that's already been done, long ago. But get the PROGRESSIVES to turn on Obama as well? Successfully do THAT, and it's game-over for this guy.

That (again, imho) is exactly why the news of this story broke via Greenwald and the Guardian (and more recently, through Gellman and the WaPo). It's now been given the imprimatur to all of us DU-types that it would NEVER have had coming from places like the NY Post and Faux News.

I expect impeachment Articles to hit the House by next month at the latest.

Meanwhile, these exact sorts of leaks will continue as the papers are drafted.
