If you are a good reporter, story subjects call and scream at you all the time.

A certain Las Vegas hotel owner would routinely call me after a piece ran and tell me that I was tough on him, but fair and honest....

Then he would call me at about 2:00 the next morning when he was smacked out on coke and tell me he was going to have me killed.

A certain cult leader / political candidate would have his henchmen call and threaten for him.

There is a certain DC network reporter who's husband works for the government. She is often critical of O. His career is threatened at least 2-3 times a year.

Goes with the territory. Just makes you dig deeper. When both sides called and yelled at you, that was a good sign you had the story just about right.

PS, Know two reporters who are already working on Obama "tell-all" books. BTW, when he speaks for 10 minutes but says nothing, they call him “Oblather.”

So you don't think it's any big deal for WH and DOJ officials to personally intimidate a reporter working on a big scandal that affects them?
