This is not only Pelosi's position, but also Obama's position.
You are naive if you think the compromise happened without the knowledge of Obama, and he is issuing a statement after the fact. That cannot be.
An expolosive, controversial issue like this could hamper the nominee. Why would Pelosi bring it up now?
Note carefully. It's the quiet time. Reporters mad at Hillary Clinton for prolonging the primary have just now gotten their vacations. It's summer, just before 4th of July. What better time to throw Campaign Finance, FISA under the bus?
Superdelegates LOVE the money networks Obama has and are drooling at the prospect of that money. He is even careful and not issuing fundraising emails for anyone, b/c that means some cherished donors will also end up on somebody else's big email list. That's his ace, and he is not letting go of it.
Remember, the first thing that came for Obama was MONEY. You'd think that network of bundlers, lobbyists, and corporate bosses with connections didn't expect anything in return?
Obama will throw a lot of people under the bus, but he is too smart of a politician to throw his money backers there. That won't happen.
FISA and immunity were the first thing delivered by Obama. You, Glenn and everyone else can ignore that at your peril.
