Nothing to see here. Move along. These aren’t the Cartagena Pley boys you’re looking for.

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney announced that White House legal counsel has concluded no White House staff engaged in any “misconduct” in Cartagena.

“The decision to conduct a review here, internally, was simply done out of due diligence,” Carney said. “There is no indication of any misconduct by any member of the White House advance team or staff.”

So there.

Carney refused to give any details on the investigation, such as whether the investigation included checking hotel records in Colombia or interviewing the White House advance team that went to Cartagena.

“There’s no point in getting into the details of this internal review except to say that it was conducted,” he said.

So there. We said so. Now stop asking already.
