The White House has just released a ‘victory’ statement following the decision by a judge this afternoon to not reinstate the AP’s access to both the Oval Office and Air Force One. This statement was released in two different ways.

This is the most transparent Administration in history.”

The judge did call it content discrimination in his ruling today and warned the White House to reconsider. We’ll see if this argument of ‘privilege’ outweighs the ‘discrimination’ in his courtroom.
