Tracy Schmaler, top spokesman at the Eric Holder (in)Justice Department, has a hair-trigger temper that doesn’t even seem to need a good reason to go off. At The American Spectator today, I described my first encounter<\/a> with her.\u00a0 It didn’t even end with her yelling at me on the phone; it almost started that way.<\/p>\n

Now comes Sharyl Attkisson of CBS News to tell a similar story<\/a>:<\/p>\n

In between the yelling that I received from Justice Department yesterday, the spokeswoman–who would not put anything in writing, I was asking for her explanation so there would be clarity and no confusion later over what had been said, she wouldn’t put anything in writing-…. Well the DOJ woman was just yelling at me. The guy from the White House on Friday night literally screamed at me and cussed at me. [Laura: Who was the person? Who was the person at Justice screaming?] Eric Schultz. Oh, the person screaming was [DOJ spokeswoman] Tracy Schmaler, she was yelling not screaming.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m not sure what the difference is between yelling and screaming, but either one is highly unprofessional, especially coming from a press secretary.<\/p>\n

I’ve heard a number of similar stories about Ms. Schmaler. She gets furious awfully fast. I guess that’s what happens when you don’t have the truth to rely on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
