[QUOTE="Pavel Mosko, post: 76878491, member: 391518"] Yeah I get your point of view, and also sometimes think that too. On the other hand, Dana Perino working as a Fox News commenter points out the flaw in this. [B]Namely it is the job of the Executive branch to oversee these offices and agencies. [/B] And typically [U]since post Watergate you get into a kind of plausible deniability defense, which may be real or just claimed.[/U] But as she and some other similar folks say, it is usually false to say something like the President did not know something big is taking place. [U] Because generally president's want to know some basic big picture items going on (they will get mad if they get blind sided by something big), but don't have to know all the details.[/U] But there is a kind of suspect fibbing that goes on. An example of that comes from the 2013 Lois Lerner IRS scandal where it was alleged that IRS was unfairly targeting conservative groups when it came to their tax exempt status etc. Obama claimed that he didn't find out about it until some big news story broke on TV "just like everybody else in the country", but the inside beltway commentators state that is very unlikely, his hearing it on TV is just the first time he could officially claim to know something without implicating himself in a potential conspiracy. Interesting ending note on Obama claim I can point to an interview he gave with some media outlet in the last few months of his presidency. , I think it was with Newsweek. Anyway that interview generally seems to confirm Dana Perino's take on things. The reporter/interviewer gushed in the presence of Obama "at his amazing scandal free administration" where Obama divulged his secret (a very benevolent open door policy where staffers can come to him in secret and admit to screwing up and he won't punish them).
