Judicial Watch reports that the Obama administration has turned over about 42,000 pages of documents related to the Fast and Furious scandal. The administration was forced to turn the documents over to Judicial Watch in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. Judicial Watch is posting them on its web site. The administration turned them over on November 18, 2014.
One of the documents provides smoking gun proof that the Obama White House and the Eric Holder Justice Department colluded to get CBS News to block reporter Sharyl Attkisson. Attkisson was one of the few mainstream media reporters who paid any attention to the deadly gun-running scandal.
In an email dated October 4, 2011, Attorney General Holder’s top press aide, Tracy Schmaler, called Attkisson “out of control.” Schmaler told White House Deputy Press Secretary Eric Schultz that he intended to call CBS news anchor Bob Schieffer to get the network to stop Attkisson.
Schultz replied, “Good. Her piece was really bad for the AG.”

Schultz replied, “Good. Her piece was really bad for the AG.”
Schultz also told Schmaler that he was working with reporter Susan Davis, then at the National Journal, to target Rep. Darrel Issa (R-CA). Issa led the House investigation into Fast and Furious. Davis now works at USA Today. In the email chain, Schultz tells Schmaler that he would provide Davis with “leaks.”
Davis wrote a critical piece on Issa a few weeks later.
A DOJ run by a communist hunter?
The Reds must be purged or the Republic will fall.
Yes, read that. Unbelievable. I hope, hope, hope this comes up with the Emperor and his puppet, Josh Earnest.
It's way past time we started burning down THEIR buildings.
Windows only, not Apple —too bad. :(
Thanks for thinking of me, good looking out, and stay safe..! ^_^
This is pretty clear suppression of the first amendment. It would be a clear impeachable offense in a Republican administration.
Abuse of power. It just runs rampant through this administration.
Wouldn’t this also be grounds for conspiracy? If this doesn’t cause his admin to go down then I don’t know what will!
BUMP
First Amendment rights being violated by the Justice Department. The rest of the press doesn’t care. To paraphrase Laz “We are so screwed.”
“they don’t have enough brains to conduct their conspiracies in hushed whispers”
Why in the world should they? Republican politicians won’t do a damn thing. The media applauds and colludes with them. The moron electorate continues to vote them back into office. The courts are silent.
A few farts in the wind like you and I whimper and cry but what danger are we to them?
If you like your constitution you can keep your constitution.
PJ Tatler? One of your close friends I presume?
Never to be seen or heard by most of populace in lieu of pro-amnesty propaganda
