Republican operatives are preparing an unprecedented attack campaign on the reporters covering Donald Trump Jr.’s secret Russia meeting as the White House scrambles to defend him, according to a report.

GOP workers close to the White House are planning to dig up years-worth of articles from the journalists who have been covering the story this week, The Washington Post reported.

8. I'm sure Dumpf would love to do what his hero Putin does to news media folks

Put them six feet under.

3. I'll bet Katy Tur is near the top of their list.

This isn't going to go well for the White House, I think. The media's already pissed off, and pissing them off some more probably isn't the very best move just now. But, please proceed, Republicans. Please proceed.

9. You called that one

5. Their detached-from-reality base will eat this up. The rest of us not so much.

It is certainly not going to influence Mueller and his team, or stop investigative reporters from investigating.

6. Pure revenge, like Trump tried against Joe and Mika since Trump JR.confirmed their story

Big problem in trying to Dan Rather the NY Times reporters when their story and emails were confirmed by Junior plus lawyers for both Manafort and Kushner and original leakers allegedly were WH advisors

So this is just pure revenge and intimidation.

10. Now all reporters know

that the reporters who bring down this administration will be in the history books forever. What's a little intimidation?

11. This not gping to be just about their careers, it will get personal and dirty.

and they have no fear of blatantly telling lies.
