Author and former CBS News investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson recently told senators considering confirmation of President Obama’s next attorney general pick, Loretta Lynch, that the nominee would need to “chart a new path” from the White House’s abysmal record of essentially treating some reporters like “enemies of the state.”
Attkisson’s accusations before the Senate Judiciary Committee were akin to those made in her 2014 book Stonewalled, in which she detailed how the Obama Administration — and officials in her own network — worked to prevent the public from learning more about several scandals, including Operation Fast and Furious, Benghazi and the green energy debacle.
In addition to providing testimony, reports WorldNetDaily, Attkisson has also turned to Twitter to further her claims and double-down on her initial accusations.
In a string of Tweets sent out a few days after her testimony, the investigative reporter argued, “A free press is under threat today for many reasons,” as well as, “Many journalists have provided their own accounts.”
Some Democrats decried and belittled Attkisson — which she is accustomed to, as she relates in her book — as well as Lynch’s confirmation process. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., derided that process as little more than a “soundbite factory for Fox News and conspiracy theorists everywhere.”
