NBC Touts White House 'Aggressively Responding' to Scandals, Dismissing Criticism as 'Offensive and Absurd'

A sound bite played of Obama advisor Dan Pfeiffer ranting: " There is no question that we want to – that Republicans are trying to make political hay here....What they want to do when they're lacking a positive agenda is try to drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings, and false allegations. We're not gonna let that happen."
