In response to Woodward: WH Aide ‘Yelled at Me’ for Half Hour:
Bob Woodward said a “very senior person” at the White House had threatened him about his sequester reporting via email, which John Sexton reports happened after that person yelled at him on the phone for half an hour. Woodward, so far, has refused to reveal who that White House official is.
These types of threats and intimidation designed to silence Obama’s critics have been going on since (at least) the ’08 campaign.
You may remember Sharyl Attkisson told Laura Ingraham on her radio show in October, 2011, that “a guy from the White House literally screamed” at her and “cussed” at her over the phone. She told Ingraham that person was WH communications flack, Eric Schultz, but since Bob Woodward indicated that it is a “very senior person” that eliminates Schultz.
