This is how.

"The White House blocked the committee from calling Rogers to the witness table, citing the separation of powers doctrine. Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.), the ranking Republican on the panel, has blasted the decision as “stonewalling” and vowed to keep pushing for her appearance."

What ticks me off is the Secret Service is taking all the blame for this
while Obama protects his own
he closes rank and expects no one to notice
just another example that Obama lied his butt off to get elected
he claimed he was going to be transparent, right.....

No they will not, that would just show that she dropped the ball and Obama knows it
Gibbs is just a hireling and a total hack job

RealClearPolitics - Video - WH's Gibbs Tells Reporter To "Take A Deep Breath" And "Calm Down"
How patronizing! I wonder if he would have done that if a male reporter asked the question.

If this is a surprise to anyone it shouldn't be. The President has a disdain for law enforcement officers that he has already displayed while in office. Why not make them the sacraficial lambs!!!

Another example of being open, accessible and transparent.

No, she supplies the guest list and tells the secret service to let them in. And you don't see a problem with this?

I don't wish harm to anyone. You are really a misguided hater.
