re: #172 simoom

Yeah, I was surprised they didn’t quite keep it together (the threat narrative), at least through to the Hannity interview.

The thing is, all pols including congress and WH staff push back against reporters who they think are not correctly stating the facts. And reporters push back against the pols.
The tone between all of them may be nastier these days, just like everything else. But there was no threat or intimidation in that email. In fact the opposite is true, it was quite a friendly and civil disagreement.
