This is a talking point flare that the admin is shooting up into the starry night sky.
There is a high probability the MSNBC has been briefed and given their marching orders to run with it to take some heat, however small, off of the President, CNN will probably put it out there to see if it can get some traction. The national nightly news shows may have something about it as well, they need something to take some space away from all the other scandal stuff. I'm sure will have CNN putting on some one sided biased reports out.
I could be wrong, though.
