CBS News Reporter Says White House Screamed, Swore at Her Over Fast and Furious

[…] CBS News investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson — who’s been covering the scandal from the beginning — says in an interview on the Laura Ingraham Show today that the White House and Justice Department have taken to screaming at her for reporting on the [Fast Furious ATF scandal] story. You can listen to the full interview below, but here are the key excerpts from Attkisson:

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.’

Ingraham: 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.”

  1. I don’t understand why these articles are written. No information was given as to what the all the yelling and screaming was over. A CBS reporter was asking questions. We know that. The reporter says, two people at the White House yelled and was screaming at her. About what?

    The White House has professionals who know how important it is to calmly and politely answer their questions, be patient, say, good-bye, and hang up. Why doesn’t the reporter say what questions she was asking that allegedly initiated this kind of response? Why? Why? Why? We’re left with nothing but questions, and no answers.

    So why are these articles written? And why is a journalistic page of puke on Infowars? It doesn’t do anything for anybody. It doesn’t tell me anything. It’s like a gossip column. “Oh, I was asking questions and got yelled at by Brad Pitt.” About what? See, that’s what’s important. What’s making these people scream? And it’s not in this article. She calls too many times? Maybe she’s a bad reporter with a bad memory and she deserves to be yelled at. We don’t know. If we knew what they were yelling at her for, maybe we would know. But we don’t know. It should have never made it to Inforwars either. I’m getting a tight feeling in my belly.

    • AGREED MEGOOD, Plenty more than this NOTHING of an article, doesnt tell the CBS Sheep What fast and furious even is or how theyre shipping guns to drug cartels while limiting ours. PLUS she doesnt mention these werent little 22 caliber squirrel shooters these were FULLY automatic ASSAULT WAR KILLING WEAPONS. Dump a lot of lead VERY FAST. Not just BB guns they gave their buddies in the other cartels they are friendly with.

      • seems to me the new world order is limiting our guns because we as americans are allowed to have them and giving literally a million guns to the cartels.hmmmm?
        could they be trying to balance out the inevitable,?that is if everyone on one side has guns and the other side has guns wouldn’t that sound like they want a for everyone to cancel each other out?balance…..what these new world goons won’t do to eliminate man because we are too many people to rule.you can only rule man indefinitely if you shrink the size of the tribe.
        proven: plenty of food in the world to feed everyone

        proven: we do not need nuclear energy,nuclear energy is the pretext to becoming a world power that is why everyone wants nukes so they can barter for more trade
        and become a richer nation through fear.
        proven: nuclear energy is DESTROYING THE PLANET!
        proven: FUCK THE STAR TREK MIND!WE ARE ALL STILL ON THIS PLANET AND WE AINT LIVING ANYWHERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE LIVING IN A BUBBLE
        proven: the people are sick and fucking tired of these assholes ruining our world and planting mind games in peoples heads to commit jihad and a bunch of other racist crap

  2. it is hanging time if not rope why not madam guillitine she satisfies with fast strokes and no complaints either between the middle all screaming to be offed all at once

    people it is time this set in everywhere will solve the problem since the people are totalitarians
    we have to take back our country now get your weapons ready and take those who planned to have us axed it should be us putting the axe to these cockroaches every last one of them nazies and commies and totalitarians and traitors deserve no respect but as a corpse hanging from a tree or beheaded and tossed in the dumpsters of hell for all time

  3. I just read the part above and it gave me chills and made me nauseous! There is NO ONE in the White House who has any business calling ANYONE in the country to chew them out. When they call from the White house to one of We The People, it’s Yes SIR and YES Ma’am, in a courteous, and cheerful tone of voice. Not this; This is extremely unprofessional, and what gave me the chills was realizing that we have people working in the White House, from the President on down who are unbalanced, scared shitless for their jobs, and COMPLETELY out of control. Do any of you realize, it’s people like this that also have contact with other countries, and now they know how bloody incompetent and unstable they are, if they didn’t know already. This puts us in a rather disadvantaged position, with zero respect, and our military spread out all over the globe. And I fear for Ms Atkisson; I respect her work, she being one of the last real reporters out there. My spidey sense tells me, she may need a safe place to hide for a while because I wouldn’t put anything past this band of yahoos on Pennsylvania Ave.

  4. The Obama Banda don’t need no Stinkin’ Badges!

    The Obama Banda pretended they didn’t know
    That ATF was buyin’ A.K.s at each gun show
    But it’s an indisputable fact
    They violated the Arms Export Control Act
    Selling guns to drogas cartel, in ol’ Mexico.

    The arma vendedor knew things were out of sorts
    So they called up the ATF to file reports
    ATF said “Let the sales go thru”
    But in their gut, the sellers knew
    ATF would betray, and they’d take it in the shorts!

    But a couple of honest ATF agents balked
    So Holder had these desilusionados stalked
    ‘Cause he knew this EPIC FAIL
    Could put the Obama crew in jail
    If they went before the Congress and they talked!

    Now they pressure the Yankee prensa to ignore
    This pre-meditated, covert act of border war,
    But forty thousand dead a year
    Is what Americans need to hear
    So we can fill Guantanamo with Obama Arma Corredor!

    It’s time for American peons to gather torch and pike
    To hang these traitors, not protest or general strike!
    One thing history doesn’t hide
    Is Disarmament precedes Genocide
    So get the ropes before they establish their Fourth Reich!

    • Charles…nicely done!

  5. DC doesn’t want the public knowing what dirty little tricks their up to. This government can not be trusted with the safty of its population. Ron Paul is a true blue American, and he can be trusted to lead this Nation out of the abyss it is in. God has placed certain people here that are trust worthy and true. Ron Paul for President 2012!!!

  6. Hmmmmm. Schmaler and Schultz…. What do those names have in common…. Hmmmm

    • Achtung! Kraut alert. Recalling that Nixon had his Erlichman and Haldeman. The more things change, the more they stay the same. BTW, have you picked up your copy of Jim Marrs’s “The Rise of the Fourth Reich” yet?

  7. The cockroaches are turning on each other. You can bet your arse bo new about this.

  8. Perhaps they were screaming because the true intent of “fast and furious” makes the bloodthirsty drug dealing Clintonistas look like the accessories to murder that they might exactly be.

    Maybe with the screaming they were telegraphing a death threat to the reporter. They may have a site picked out in Fort Marcy Park for her body to be “found” already.
