Eric Schultz, WH Flack
Via JWF at AoSHQ:
Today Attkisson appeared on The Laura Ingraham Show and detailed the reaction of White House and DOJ spokesthings when she questioned them last Friday.
***
6:05 – Laura: So they were literally screaming at you?
Attkisson: Yes. 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. And the person who screamed at me was Eric Schultz at the White House.”
His bio according to Potomac flacks:

More like Sgt. Schultz of “Stalag 13″ fame. Except that, just like all leftists, he claims to know everything and actually knows just enough to stand upright instead of hunched and dragging knuckles. It’s his demeanor that gives him away, though.

Sharyl Attkisson is a wonderful, refined woman and excellent reporter. To know that a low-life dirt bag like Eric Schultz cussed her out is hard to stomach.
