WMAL EXCLUSIVE: Fmr. Clinton Aide Davis Says He Received White House Threat (audio at link)
630 WMAL, Washington, DC ^ | 2/28/13 | WMAL Staff

WASHINGTON -- Bob Woodward isn't the only person who's received threats for airing the Obama administration's dirty laundry. It seems anyone is a potential target of the White House these days - even former senior members of the Clinton administration.

A day after Woodward's claim that a senior White House official had told him he would "regret" writing a column criticizing President Obama's stance on the sequester, Lanny Davis, a longtime close advisor to President Bill Clinton, told WMAL's Mornings on the Mall Thursday he had received similar threats for newspaper columns he had written about Obama in the Washington Times.

Davis told WMAL that his editor, John Solomon, "received a phone call from a senior Obama White House official who didn't like some of my columns, even though I'm a supporter of Obama. I couldn't imagine why this call was made." Davis says the Obama aide told Solomon, "that if he continued to run my columns, he would lose, or his reporters would lose their White House credentials."

“Is it too cynical to wonder if Hillary’s campaign has begun?”

That's exactly what I was thinking. The Clinton's have a lot of bottled up rage against Obama. This time, they are going to go all out and it's going to be take-no-prisoners.

We might even see Obama’s real birth certificate or why he uses a SS number registered to someone else. The Clinton's still have friends in high places and spread through out the government. The Clinton's are scary too. Hopefully, each side takes the other down.

A possible end state could be a Biden presidency with Hillary selected VP. NWIH would the Senate reject that nomination. Desirable, dunno.

Then SloJoe hires a food tester...

In a sane world, the whole white house would be emptied out and the occupants would be out on the street looking for legitimate employment.

Really? Not in jail for treason?

Looks like Elmer Fudd has gone off the deep end. Guess Bugs Bunny finally got to him.

The only threat Lanny is that he would be that he would put you to sleep listening to him.

People need to break out that video of Obama cornering and physically intimidating Joe Lieberman on the Senate floor during the 2008 campaign, when Lieberman was supporting McCain.

Agreement, this would be best case. Maybe deep throat is hiding in the shadows. One female, one male and collaborating?

At some point even high profile useful idiots become expendable.

I didn’t hear the statement by L Davis, BUT the sound byte that Chris Plante is running now has me ‘waiting for the other shoe to drop’ and have him follow up that the “W” White House tried to ‘shut him down’.

BTW anyone know C Plantes email?
I don’t tweet or twit or whatever vowel may fit in between
t w and t and I can’t find it on the MAL web site...

Thanks a lot. Now I'm going to have recurring nightmares.

But, but....I thought they became fast friends. Didn’t you see the 60 Minutes love fest?/s

Old age and treachery will overcome youth and skill every time. Obama is no match for her.

If they are threatening well-known libs like Woodward and Davis, makes you wonder what threats have been made against congressmen, senators and SC justices. Maybe they haven’t dared to speak out and have buckled under the threats. Just a thought...

Obama finished paying off Hilary’s campaign debt of $20 million. It took four years to do it, but he kept her muzzled. Her price is $333,333.33 a month.

Now she’s free and back to status quo.

Busting rocks in Leavenworth would be more appropriate for the current crew.

The Chicago Way. The country has been taken over by thugs for the biggest “bust-out” in history. A large-scale version of what happens to a bar when it is taken over by thugs who use all its credit to buy stuff for themselves and then dump
it as a bankrupt wreck after its credit is exhausted.

I would find it hard to laugh and puke at the same time.

Back during his Clinton WH days, we called him Lackey Davis. Can’t even begin to imagine how many people they threatened.
