Of course the WH staff would 'know about' (and they're certainly supposed to) a PROBE like the one that was going on.

And 'intervening' would have been BAD, not GOOD.

How the hell is it a 'scandal' that WH staff knew about the damn PROBE?

The piling on by the MSM is getting a little ridiculous here as they try to out-scoop one another with deceptively worded 'revelations' like this one.
