Probably so. But, IMO there sure is a whole lot of "rollin'" goin' on.

ETA: From the article..."This [White House Communications Agency] guy opened an email he wasn't supposed to open," the source said.

There is no truth to the rumor that the offending email was from a wealthy Nigerian family looking to donate to a certain re-election campaign. :D
