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

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.'

And:

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."

Finally, Attkisson notes that the White House is claiming that a thorough investigation of the scandal is unwarranted:

[The White House and Justice Department] will tell you that I'm the only reporter--as they told me--that is not reasonable. They say the Washington Post is reasonable, the LA Times is reasonable, the New York Times is reasonable, I'm the only one who thinks this is a story, and they think I'm unfair and biased by pursuing it.

  • See Description *UPDATE* Link...Now, CBS is silencing Attkisson.

  • I didn't hear her say anything about curses, but these government officials are certainly the worst kinds of people.

  • @JackDoitCrawford The dictionary definitions of “swear at” and “curse” show they are synonyms. Curse is more consise, (for the limited space title), hence, it was used. Thank you, ric

  • Obama can't throw Holder under the bus because Holder has been protecting Obama by not prosecuting his FORGED birth certificate or multiple SSN's used in real estate scams- If Eric goes people may want to know the TRUTH about the Obama CRIMES that have been burried- That's why his entire past has been hidden or destroyed- both men are crooked lawyers who lie easily only Obama surrendered his law license in order to avoid an investigation of his past (secreted) history-

  • i've OFTEN WONDERED WHY THOSE UNGRATEFUL FRENCH PEASANTS PUT DOWN THEIR CAKE AND WENT HEAD HUNTING,,,,,,,,,,,,,,it becomes more clear every day in the new america run by sir evil in rottenchild and baby notyetyouyahoo.

  • Bush and Obama work for the same people...

  • ...and they spent more money investigating Clinton than they did investigating 9/11.

  • CLINTON GOT IMPEACHED FOR A BLOW JOB... BUT OBAMA IS GETTING AWAY WITH ACTUAL MURDER... WOW HOW AMERICA HAS FALLEN... MEANWHILE FOOLS SUPPORT A GOVERNMENT THAT IS FEEDING ITS OVERSPENDING CRACK HABIT OFF THE BACKS OF A HORRIBLY OPPRESSED PEOPLE IN CHINA.. THEY ARE ALMOST SLAVES.. BE PROUD YOU CIVIL RIGHTS HYPOCRITES... DIVIDE and CONQUER is the game and DEMS vs REPUBs is the name.. SHOOT YOUR TV... WE MUST ALL UNITE NOW.. ITS US vs THEM.. STOP BELIEVING THE MEDIAS BLATANT LIES..

  • America deserves what it gets for electing Oboma and his Chicago mob. It is on his watch I am sure some how he will blame Bush.

  • @Clarkecars FACT: The White House sets the Agenda for the Attorney General. NO Atty Gen. is able to work across international borders, particularly in sensitive areas, without the approval and knowledge of the White House and State Dept. It is also VERY likely that Janet Napolitano knew the scope of this operation and its intended goal,

  • Obama lied ATF agent died.
