Article PhotoThe Washington Post's Bob Woodward said on Wednesday that a "very senior" White House official threatened him over his continued public disagreements with the Obama administration. BuzzFeed later reported that the official was Gene Sperling, who heads President Obama's White House Economic Council.
Woodward has repeatedly accused the White House of "moving the goal posts" in the fight over the looming budget sequester. He has been challenged on the facts of his assertions many times, but has not strayed from his claims.
UPDATE: Sean Hannity will interview Woodward on Fox News tomorrow night, according to a tweet from Politico's Dylan Byers.
we all know why he's going to a Fox foot soldier they will softball him and ask questions that favor his position with their own leading him to answer to help support their own spend.
Speaking to Wolf Blitzer on Wednesday, Woodward described a tense series of exchanges he had with the White House.
"Well, they're not happy at all, and some people kind of, you know, said, look, we don't see eye to eye on this," Woodward said. "They've said that this is factually wrong, and it was said to me in an e-mail by a top --"
"What was said?" Blitzer prodded. "It was said very clearly, you will regret doing this," Woodward said.
"Who sent that e-mail to you?" Blitzer asked. "Well, I'm not going to say," Woodward said.
"Was it a senior person at the White House?" Blitzer asked.
"A very senior person," Woodward said. "It makes me very uncomfortable to have the White House telling reporters, you're going to regret doing something that you believe in."
all the right wing accusations seem to come from questionable people who admit no proof (Cruz) or in his case he's not going to say, where's that deep throat when you need him, he should know better than to come out empty handed and headed,
to sample Cruz, "he could have given a speech at a right wing event and the payed him to spread the lie, we don't know", if that's the case they need to get more credible people but therein lies the problem any person of good reputation wouldn't touch their fabrications with a 20 ft. Pole.  ps if the snitch was so senior the accolades he would get would give him 30 mins instead of 15, what fame chaser would bite on that?
