To me it comes off like he's trying to claim that this present situation (wherein he's found out 'belatedly' about the actual source of Ms. Rice's 'omissions') calls for ever MORE 'suspicion' (suspicion of WHAT exactly, you crazy f***nut?) of the Administration, not less.

To me if you read the whole quote it almost sounds more like he's doubling down on his bullshit, rather than backing away.
