*Email Proves that White House, DOJ Targeted Reporter Sharyl Attkisson* Posted By *Bryan Preston* On November 20, 2014 Judicial Watch reports that the Obama administration has turned over about 42,000 pages of documents related to the Fast and Furious scandal. The administration was forced to turn the documents over to Judicial Watch in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. Judicial Watch is posting them on its web site <http://www.judicialwatch.org/fast-furious-documents-released/>. The administration turned them over on November 18, 2014. One of the documents provides smoking gun proof that the Obama White House and the Eric Holder Justice Department colluded to get CBS News to block reporter Sharyl Attkisson. Attkisson was one of the few mainstream media reporters who paid any attention to the deadly gun-running scandal. In an email dated October 4, 2011 <http://www.judicialwatch.org/document-archive/control/>, Attorney General Holder’s top press aide, Tracy Schmaler, called Attkisson “out of control.” Schmaler told White House Deputy Press Secretary Eric Schultz that he intended to call CBS news anchor Bob Schieffer to get the network to stop Attkisson. Schultz replied, “Good. Her piece was really bad for the AG.” Schultz also told Schmaler that he was working with reporter Susan Davis, then at the *National Journal*, to target Rep. Darrel Issa (R-CA). Issa led the House investigation into Fast and Furious. Davis now works at *USA Today* <http://www.usatoday.com/staff/2155/susan-davis/>. In the email chain, Schultz tells Schmaler that he would provide Davis with “leaks.” Davis wrote a critical piece on Issa a few weeks later <http://susanjoycedavis.wordpress.com/2011/10/20/the-overseer/#more-56>. Attkisson was later subjected to hacking of her computer by people who remain unknown, but who likely belong to a government agency <http://insider.foxnews.com/2014/11/03/sharyl-attkisson-hacking-software-was-fbi-cia-dia-or-nsa>. She and CBS parted ways earlier in 2014 <http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/03/13/sharyl-attkisson-vs-cbs-reporter-first-tried-to-quit-year-ago/>, and Attkisson has since said that the network blocked her reports from airing. *Update*: More about Schmaler here <http://pjmedia.com/jchristianadams/2011/11/18/tracey-schmalers-and-eric-holders-trip-to-the-tropics/>, here <http://pjmedia.com/jchristianadams/2012/09/18/three-characteristics-of-political-thugs/>, here <http://pjmedia.com/jchristianadams/2012/09/17/eric-holder-media-matters/> and here <http://pjmedia.com/tatler/2011/10/05/tracy-schmaler-doj-shrieker-in-chief/> . ------------------------------ Article printed from The PJ Tatler: *http://pjmedia.com/tatler <http://pjmedia.com/tatler>* URL to article: *http://pjmedia.com/tatler/2014/11/20/bombshell-email-proves-that-white-house-doj-targeted-reporter-sharyl-attkisson/ <http://pjmedia.com/tatler/2014/11/20/bombshell-email-proves-that-white-house-doj-targeted-reporter-sharyl-attkisson/>* __._,_.___ ------------------------------ Posted by: "beowulf" <[email protected]> ------------------------------ Visit Your Group <https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/grendelreport/info;_ylc=X3oDMTJmdTQ0ZXBvBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIwMTk0ODA2BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTMyMzY2NwRzZWMDdnRsBHNsawN2Z2hwBHN0aW1lAzE0MTY1ODY0ODg-> [image: Yahoo!
