<caused lawyer Ginsberg to resign from the Bush campaign > ____________ McClellan does what he always does when asked questions he doesn't want to answer. He says go ask someone else. Neocons everywhere praise him for being so open and honest. ____________ Q Scott, you said -- we, yesterday, first became aware of Ginsberg's activities. Who -- how did you learn? Who told whom this information? MR. McCLELLAN: I think -- double-check with the campaign. I think that they can probably give you a little bit more information on that. Q But on your end -- MR. McCLELLAN: I think it came from -- came from there first. Q To who? MR. McCLELLAN: Well, again, I think since it started with the campaign, check with them, and you can find out who was told first and then other contacts that they had there, as well. But it was yesterday when we became aware that he was representing them and providing legal services to them. Q Scott, why did Ginsberg resign to the President and not to the Chairman or the Manager of the campaign? MR. McCLELLAN: Didn't you just -- I'm sorry. Why did he -- Q Why did he -- why did Mr. Ginsberg resign to the President rather than the Chairman of the campaign or its manager? MR. McCLELLAN: Well, he was the outside counsel to the President's campaign. Q Then why won't you discuss his activities if he resigned to the President? Isn't it under the White House purview. MR. McCLELLAN: Why don't I what? Q Why don't you discuss his activities and how this came about? He resigned to the President, not to the campaign. This is a White House issue, that's my point. MR. McCLELLAN: No, no, how it first came about and how we first became aware of it was through the campaign. So that's why I said you might want to go back there and start with -- start with the campaign. Q Doesn't the White House legal counsel vet any of these people, since he resigned to the President? MR. McCLELLAN: Does the White House legal counsel vet any of the campaign people? Q He resigned to the President of the United States, that's my point. So he feels somehow he's -- MR. McCLELLAN: It's the President's campaign, Bob. I don't -- I don't understand your point. All right. See everybody on the plane in the morning. END 2:58 P.M. CDT
