Which triggered Trump's cyber-lynching of Obama to try to politicize the investigation to get the evidence thrown out.
Once the WH had been put on notice, everyone got really serious. What they want is to put on a happy face and pretend nothing is wrong, but they are no longer able to hide their panic.
Don't confuse them trying to spin this into "the black guy's fault" as not taking it seriously. That is part of their exit strategy from a very serious situation and evidences how seriously they are taking it. Nunes has revealed the degree to which they are shitting bricks and committing obstruction crimes to hide their total terror about the criminal investigation now that they know they were caught on tape.
