Fast and Furious: DOJ, White House targeted Sharyl Attkisson. http://t.co/inWxYwTjJg Let's see what else is lurking in that FOIA doc dump.

From the PJ Tatler:
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. 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, Attorney General Holder’s top press aide, Tracy Schmaler, called Attkisson “out of control.” Schmaler told White House [Deputy] Press Secretary Eric Schultz that [she] intended to call CBS news anchor Bob Schieffer to get the network to stop Attkisson.

Kinda casts this cutesty exchange between Schmaler and HuffPo justice reporter Ryan J. Reilly in a whole new light, no?

Sure is!
@taschmaler you would RT that.

@ryanjreilly it met the criteria of being both newsworthy and entertaining.

Why, that’d be NPR’s DOJ reporter Carrie Johnson!

We’re guessing there are still a lot more rocks to turn over.
You folks in the mainstream media would have been totally cool with Richard Nixon doing something like this, right? http://t.co/inWxYwTjJg
