Sharyl Attkisson has been relentless in her coverage of the Obama administration unmasking people in the Trump campaign, not to mention unmasking plain ol’ everyday Americans. So it’s no surprise people look to her on the topic for more information …

Sharyl shared her piece questioning what had happened to the investigation around the Obama administration unmasking people, it seems to have suddenly disappeared. And for some reason, Montel Williams decided to stick his nose in her thread and seemingly attempted to shut her up about the unmaskings.
Overplayed. We have real problems.

Gosh, the government spying on people sounds like a real problem to this editor.
Call us crazy.
Maybe so. But with respect I don't think so. You might be like me if the government had remotely spied on your computers as well. It's all connected.

‘But with respect’. You’ve gotta love this woman. Perhaps if Montel’s computer had been spied on because he was reporting the wrong things he’d have a teensy bit more sympathy for her situation.
You’re talking to someone who spent 20 years in military intel and finished at NSA. I get the issue. The unmasking thing is nonesense and I think you know that. This is NOT fast and furious no matter how bad the audience wants to believe in conspiracy theories. Hope ur well!

This guy.
‘Hope you’re well’. Like that in any way takes away the notion that he was all but shaming Sharyl for covering yet another scandal from the Obama administration. Just because he doesn’t care about the issue doesn’t mean thousands of other Americans don’t.
And once again, Sharyl handled the entire conversation with style.
I'm great. You too. #Respect you lots. Have some good intel sources I also respect who lead me to think the unmasking is a large and important piece of the puzzle. Could be wrong.

She could be right, which of course is the bigger story and the bigger picture.
If you think violating the Constitution & Americans right to privacy is nonsense- you either a pure partisan, disingenuous or just out there

Because you are a VET in Intel and NSAdoes not mean you can undermine other experience as victim of this country Intel. Your time was different that today’s there is so much corruption. As a regular citizen it concerns deeply.

Bingo.
— UPDATE —
Montel’s manager, Jonathan Franks, contacted Twitchy to reaffirm that Montel has nothing but respect and admiration for Sharyl Attkisson and asked that we update this piece with these corrections/tweets in response to the original article. – Ed.
I think it’s a made for tv controversy, but I also know my thoughts won’t deter @SharylAttkisson, nor would I want them to and I love that I live in a country where we both are free to think.

So we’re all clear:
The notion he has anything but respect for Sharyl is without basis. https://t.co/zqyTis0q0r
