A former “ethics czar” in the Obama White House tweeted recently a claim that the previous administration had no need for a “war room” when it came to managing scandal because apparently everything was always on the up-and-up:
In Obama WH, we had a "peace room." We called it the ethics office. Result: we never needed a war room. Not once. https://t.co/xsPVLSjbYI

Not that they didn’t have help elsewhere:
Your war room was every mainstream media editorial room https://t.co/I5YrBaBxGz

Actually, Obama outsourced his war rooms, they were known as the "press pool" @ the NYT, WaPo, & pretty much every other newspaper. https://t.co/CVpaJVpy42

The IRS was your war room. https://t.co/BcQvmYwSMu

And no, as much as former staffers insist, the Obama administration was not a beacon of ethical standards:

@NormEisen Is this where you came up with my $2500 health insurance premium reduction?

You launched an actual Kulturkampf on the Catholic Church to boost your re-election prospects. Glad you didn't have a room for it I guess. https://t.co/HN5nv2Jw6D

A lot of things were managed in the “peace room.”
