Et tu, Andrea?

Obama narrative about Bergdahl deal torched by ...MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell?



Yesterday, MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell interviewed State Department spokesperson Marie Harf, and let's just say it didn't go well. Harf was, no doubt, expecting a barrage of Mitchell's standard pillowy-soft softball questions. Instead, she got taken to the woodshed by a woman who is usually one of the Obama administration's most slavish allies.

Mitchell absolutely obliterated the official line about the President notifying Congress of the Bergdahl prisoner swap. She also torched the administration claim that Congress hadn’t been briefed about the Bin Laden raid, and she roasted the concept that notifying the legislature would have endangered Bergdahl's life. It got so bad that Harf actually accused Mitchell of rewriting history. “Well," Harf said, "We can recreate history on Bin Laden, but when it comes to Bergdahl, which is, I think, what’s most important today, the architecture of this entire swap had been briefed and quite frankly was discussed publicly.” Which, of course, it wasn't - and the host refused to let her guest off the hook. In short, for one brief, shining, moment Andrea Mitchell did the job of an actual reporter and called The White House on its parade of lies. I don't really expect it will happen, but wouldn't it be nice if we could see more of this?
