Asked about this week’s extraordinary breach of security at the Supreme Court, Jen Psaki explained that, “I don’t think we have a particular view on that other than to say that we certainly note the unprecedented nature of it.”

Really? That’s the White House’s answer? That it doesn’t have a “particular view” beyond noting that such a leak hadn’t happened before? Strewth.
