Bob Woodward: White House said I would ‘regret’ it if I pursued the story

are you serious or just being your usual self? HE'S the one who outed his run-in with the white house, HE'S the one on the interviews saying he felt uncomfortable and threatened...

In reality, he did not say that:

Exactly where is the link of him saying he felt "threatened"?

Exactly where is the link of him saying he felt "threatened"?

ah, so THAT is the latest spin doctor instructions you have received from the White House, eh? "it never happened" gotcha !!

Woodward's Not Alone - Fmr. Clinton Aide Lanny Davis Says He Received White House Threat [wmal.com]

is the imperial presidency of The One starting to unravel ?? are the lemmings starting to wake up to the fact that the king wears no clothes?

The official angered by my Woodward tweet sent me an indignant e-mail. “What’s next, a Nazi analogy?” the official wrote, chastising me for spreading “bull**** like that” I was not offended by the note, mild in comparison to past exchanges with this official. But it was the last straw in a relationship that had deteriorated.

As editor-in-chief of National Journal, I received several e-mails and telephone calls from this White House official filled with vulgarity, abusive language, and virtually the same phrase that Politico characterized as a veiled threat. “You will regret staking out that claim,” The Washington Post reporter was told.

Once I moved back to daily reporting this year, the badgering intensified. I wrote Saturday night, asking the official to stop e-mailing me. The official wrote, challenging Woodward and my tweet. “Get off your high horse and assess the facts, Ron,” the official wrote.

I changed the rules of our relationship, first, because it was a waste of my time (and the official’s government-funded salary) to engage in abusive conversations. Second, I didn’t want to condone behavior that might intimidate less-experienced reporters, a reaction I personally witnessed in journalists covering the Obama administration.

Anyone who doesn't take 0bama's threats seriously has never heard of Aaron Swartz or Andrew Breitbart.

I typically refer to threatening situations as "Mickey Mouse".

ah, so THAT is the latest spin doctor instructions you have received from the White House, eh? "it never happened" gotcha !!

I read all the stories, including the original Politico piece. Cannot find Woodward saying that. Since you are claiming he said it, please show us the link and quotation.

“It makes me very uncomfortable to have the White House telling reporters ‘you are going to regret’ doing something,” Woodward told CNN.

Press corps to Woodward: Really?

"I know you may not believe this, but as a friend, I think you will regret staking out that claim. "

"If this is it, I think many reporters — and I covered the White House for four years — received emails like this," Fox News host Bret Baier said on Andrea Tantaro's radio show today. "It was a cordial exchange for the most part, and Sperling is actually apologizing for a heated telephone conversation they had earlier in the day."

Gene: You do not ever have to apologize to me. You get wound up because you are making your points and you believe them. This is all part of a serious discussion. I for one welcome a little heat; there should more given the importance. I also welcome your personal advice. I am listening. I know you lived all this. My partial advantage is that I talked extensively with all involved. I am traveling and will try to reach you after 3 pm today. Best, Bob
