In Friday's Friday's White House Press Gaggle Deputy Press Secretary Scott Stanzel continued to dance around who choose the US Attorney's to be put on the list to be fired. At least one reporter Helen Thomas wasn't taking crap, not that did much good:
Q Since no Justice Department official has been forthcoming, who drew up the list of the attorneys -- the prosecutors to be fired?
MR. STANZEL: Well, I think, Helen, that's a subject that's been covered exhaustively on hearings on the Hill --
Q Okay. Tell me, I'm sorry, I have not read who --
MR. STANZEL: I will allow the Justice Department to help you out with that question because --
Q But I'm telling you they're not saying.
MR. STANZEL: They've testified hours and hours and hours about this very issue.
Q Did they say who drew up the list?
MR. STANZEL: Well, I think it's been testified to the fact that Kyle Sampson was working on the process, and I think they testified to that fact.
Q Did he think of the names, himself?
MR. STANZEL: I think he's spoken at length about the review process that was underway.
Q Don't stall, just tell me. Who drew up --
MR. STANZEL: I will refer you to the Department of Justice, Helen.
Q Well, that's another dodge.
Q They won't tell her.
MR. STANZEL: I got that. Thank you. Any other questions?
