What is not in the realm of speculation, however, is that the President has ordered a thorough investigation. And wherever that investigation takes him, he will act accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do think that the President would not make such a move until he has a clear idea of exactly what that investigation has unearthed and whether or not there are other officials of the government that he feels would need to be roped into such an exercise on the basis of whatever the findings of that investigation are.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the speculations of a possible cabinet reshuffle, It is only natural to drive such stories, particularly if there\u2019s even a whisper that such a thing could occur.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I think it\u2019s important that we not preempt the activities of the President.
