CBS News Reporter Says White House Screamed, Swore at Her Over Fast and Furious
The Weekly Standard ^ | 10/4/11 | MARK HEMINGWAY

Posted on 10/04/2011 11:06:38 AM PDT by Nachum

The Fast and Furious scandal, in which the Justice Department knowingly gave Mexican criminal gangs thousands of guns, just keeps escalating. The latest development centers around whether or not Attorney General Eric Holder lied to Congress about having knowledge of the controversial gun trafficking operation. Recently released documents say Holder was briefed about the operation long before he told the Judiciary Committee he was first aware of what was going on. (Holder now claims he misunderstood the question was being asked.)

What's more, 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 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.'

What this article doesn’t mention is the screaming, swearing Obama Justice Department spokeswoman was Ann Compton of ABC News.

She is now AN ENEMY OF THE OBAMUNIST STATE.
I hope she has good security, she could become the victim of a “Random” act soon.

Isn’t that the truth.

“The White House” is so confident and arrogant, and has gotten away with this intimidation. I wanted to say she is brave for going public with this, but then I realized this is what reporters are supposed to do.

After Sarah Brady of the Brady Gun Grabbers group asked O'Bunga what he was doing on gun control, he told her that he was working 'under the radar' in order to stealthily move ahead with further gun control measures.

Fast and Furious was part of the administrations efforts to screw with the 2nd amendment while under cover...but people died as a result and now here comes the sun shining brightly.

Oh, poor widdle CBS reporter...did you really think an outfit(DOJ) essentially supporting Black Panthers in Chicago were going to treat you like they were selling Girl Scout cookies?

You MSM people opened the door to Hell by heralding and glorifying these thugs—now deal with your dividends.

It’s starting to like a hot war now with CBS and Obama. I pray it is so.

Looks like the White House wasn’t ready for CBS to engage in a random act of journalism.

The MSM were cooperating in keeping the story buried. Her story last night broke the silent agreement. Now CNN is covering it, and others will follow. They have no choice, if they want to maintain any remaining credibility.

Obama and Holder are in trouble.

Pizza, that’s what we need. Beer and a giant garlic pepperoni and onion pie (Jersey Shore style).
