Obama DOJ, White House, Screaming at Reporter Over Operation Fast and Furious
townhall ^ | 10/04/2011 | katie pavlich

Today, CBS News reporter Sharyl Attkisson was on the Laura Ingraham show to discuss new documents that show Attorney General Eric Holder was briefed about Operation Fast and Furious as early as July 2010, which contradict Holder’s Congressional testimony on May 3 when he said, "I'm not sure of the exact date, but I probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks."

Attkisson revealed that she had been yelled and screamed at by the Justice Department and White House spokesmen for asking about what Holder knew and when he knew it.

1:31 - In between the yelling that I received from Justice Department yesterday, the spokeswoman--who would not put anything in writing, I was asking for her explanation so there would be clarity and no confusion later over what had been said, she wouldn't put anything in writing--so we talked on the phone and she said things such as the question Holder answered was different than the one he asked. But he phrased it, he said very explicitly, 'I probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks.'

6:05 - Laura: So they were literally screaming at you? Attkisson: Yes. Well the DOJ woman was just yelling at me. The guy from the White House on Friday night literally screamed at me and cussed at me. [Laura: Who was the person? Who was the person at Justice screaming?] Eric Schultz. Oh, the person screaming was [DOJ spokeswoman] Tracy Schmaler, she was yelling not screaming. And the person who screamed at me was Eric Schultz at the White House."

7:33 - Laura: Do we know the exact number [of guns] that went over to Mexico? Attkisson: We know more than 2,000 in Fast and Furious and I will soon be reporting on the fact that that is not the only case. 2,000 for that operation according to the agents involved.

How dare CBS go off the reservation and actually report NEWS!!! The media is there for the sole purpose of propogating the liberal agenda, and if you cross this administration, expect repercussions.

They are circling the wagons at Justice and the White House, and now that a 'non-Fox' news outlet is leading the charge, Barry and Eric are starting to lash out.

Gonna get interesting fast folks, somebody at Justice is going to spill the beans in order to save themselves.

My guess is somebody at CBS got his or her life threatened ~ a phone call maybe, a visitor, a post it on their bathroom medicine cabinet mirror?

Whatever it was that person has the power to make things happen there.

When criminals have an inkling they’re going down for an indictment, they yell, cuss, scream and threaten. We as a nation are disgraced by the criminals living and working within.

I pray that this and other soon-to-be tempers’ lost will shock these MSM Obama-Bots back to the Light.

Sorry HTML challenged, have a look at Schultz's resume. A true Jack Booted Kool-Aid drinker.

I’m guessing its all getting under their skin now, this is getting to the point where people start lawyering up and begin to save themselves, someone will go for immunity soon and offer up the goods.

I wonder what would happen to an average citizen who purposely sold guns to criminals KNOWING they would be used to kill people?

Appointed in May, 2011, eh? Just when things started to get going??? Hehehe!

“His work was recognized, as the White House recruited him in May 2011 as associate communucations director. He will focus primarily on oversight issues, relating primarily to Rep. Darrell Issa’s (R-Calif.) subpoena power as chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee in Congress. O’Keefe, Ed, The Washington Post’s Federal Eye, May 12(1)”

Yep, I agree. And it will only take one “deep throat” to bust this thing WIDE open. I am predicting that the -0- won’t make it to the end of his first term.

Aiding and Abetting to a murder gets the same sentence as the murderer. Needle or the Chair Mr Holder? (OK, I can dream)

Screaming because he knows what’s going to happen to a white boy in prison?
