Dave Johnson at Seeing the Forest has added new information on the fake "journalist" the White House was letting into Press Briefing without a security classification, and on the secret intelligence documents someone was passing to him.
Johnson posted an email he received "...from the office of Rep. Louise M. Slaughter (NY-28), Ranking Member of the House Committee on Rules that includes this quote:
"This matter is growing more serious by the day. We now know that 'Jeff Gannon' had access to classified CIA documents that contained the identity of undercover CIA operative Valerie Plame. This is more than an issue of media manipulation by the White House... this is now an issue of national security," said Rep. Slaughter. "What is the White House hiding? This man, Mr. Gannon, should never have been admitted into the White House briefing room in the first place. Someone let him in day after day. Someone gave him access to classified CIA documents. Someone must answer for this. It is critical that we uncover the exact nature of the relationship between Gannon and this White House," added Slaughter."

This is scary stuff. This White House is all politics and no effective operation of government when the two are in conflict.
