White House admits politicizing meetings - So what?
"The White House acknowledged Thursday it has conducted about 20 briefings recently for federal agency employees on the election prospects of Republican candidates – the sort of meetings that sparked an investigation into whether Bush aides engaged in illegal political activity," the Associated Press reports.

"I don't think there's any reason for us to release a PowerPoint presentation," Perino said. "Talking about informational briefings at the White House is – we don't turn over lots of documents. There's work done at the White House, and that is appropriately done. And I just think – I just caution everyone to take a step back. These briefings were not inappropriate, they were not unlawful, they were not unethical. There is nothing wrong with what they did."
