his announcement briefly, but only briefly, distracted the white house press corps from the bigger departurey, eric shinse shinseki, resigned under pressure friday morning. this va story has been building for months, so after the shinseki step aid side, i went down to the eighth floor of the cnn bureau in d.c. and found cnn correspondent, drew griffin. it was his reporting about va health care delays that forced this issue onto the national news agenda. >> i wanted to start by asking when you started looking into the va health care delays, 'cause this is not something that started a month or two ago. >> no, it was last fall, brian, early last fall, and we put our first story on the air in november when we were actually identifying and talking about patients who had died waiting for care. there were actual dead veterans because they got delays in care, basically colonoscopies down in south carolina and georgia. that was our first story. and that was our first attempt to reach general shinseki and ask him if he knew about this and what was being done about it. that was a long time ago. basical

so, my colleagues, the bottom line is i is this: the white house ignored a federal law that the president signed and that the white house press secretary promised it would follow. yet the white house can't even get its story straight regarding why the law was ignored. it's for these reasons, getting back to the point about the office of legal counsel and mr. kadzik nominated to be head of that -- of the office of legislative affairs, it's for these reasons that i wrote to the office and asked for them to release any and all details regarding the justifications for the detainee's release that the department of justice provided to the administration. because, you see, it's the office of legal counsel's job to look at every presidential action and executive order and decision to see if it complies with the law. and then it's my approach that, if some lawyers are telling the president what he can legally do or not do, constitutionally do or not do according to the constitution, well, why shouldn't the american people know about it? so this all becomes more important with each passing day, as the white house keeps offering new exp

came in as a young white house reporter, there was a huge amount of tension in the white house and the west wing between reporters covered the new president and the white house press clinton and bush and the obama administration as well. i think what we have to division between is the sort of normal tension that exists because reporters are out there trying to get information. sometimes they feel they're not getting enough. and then kind of the thee -- th theatricality of it all. if you watch a briefing in its entirety, you'd be struck but how much the same questions are repeated when they were asked two minutes before. i think reporters want a crack at a moment on tv. >> let me ask you this is closing. you worked for joe biden. how good of a president would joe biden be? >> i'm getting old, but i think i've heard that question before. >> we'll see you on the other side. thank you, jay. >> thank you all very much. i appreciate it. >> i'm sorry, go ahead. >> great job. best of luck. go ahead, jay. >> no, i just -- you know, it's been a lot of fun coming out here and talking to you. it's been even more fun working here in the white house for president obama and vice

and in 2013, the white house press secretary responded to a question about trading sergeant bergdahl's -- sergeant bergdahl for taliban detainees in stark terms, promising -- quote -- "we would not make any decisions about transfer of any detainees without consulting congress." so, mr. president, why the more than two years of radio silence from the obama administration? why the disregard of a federal statute when the administration's arguments for doing so in this case are so disturbingly unconvincing? why wait until after the decision could not be challenged before telling congress? after reviewing these events, the answer seems obvious -- president obama and his subordinates illegitimately chose not to inform congress until after the decision was irrevocable because they knew that congress would object. two administration officials told bloomberg news as much that -- quote -- "the failure to notify key members of congress in advance was a deliberate move to skirt opposition to releasing the five taliban prisoners." now, the vigor of the obama administration's defense of the deal has
