Press Gaggle by Dana Perino 10/03/06 (Topic: Political Leaking)
— Tuesday, October 03, 2006 — Q Does the White House think that the Democrats leaked this information because of the election? MS. PERINO: I wouldn't ascribe a political motivation to anyone in particular, in terms of this very serious situation. I think what the American public would not stand for is -- or not put up with -- what the American public would not put up with is taking a serious issue, such as this one, with the, as the President called it, disgusting communications between the former congressman and this former page, and using that for political gamesmanship during the course of an investigation. So I'm not going to ascribe political motivation as to how this information came to light, but that's all probably part of the investigation, as well, in terms of the investigators talking to the pages, et cetera. Q But you're not suggesting that it was. MS. PERINO: I am not suggesting that it was, no. I'll let other people -- other people can come to their own conclusions. The Speaker has called for an investigation and I think that's the appropriate place to be. These are really serious allegations. You heard the President talk today about how disgusted he was by it, and I think most Americans agree with that. So I think we need to let the investigation play out.
