Should we be concerned about Freedom of the Press?

Question

Were Scaramuccia not such a political and intellectual lightweight (well and truly living up to his namesake, the boastful clown of Italian theatre) his threat to use the Justice Department to harass a reporter for legally publishing publicly available material would surely be considered one of the greatest attacks on the first Amendment to ever come from the White House?

Update:

Well Mjolnir gets the points for being the first on the alt right to actually admit they have such contempt for the constitution that giving a damn about the bill of rights is "being a drama queen"

Such a drama queen.

I don't recall you being concerned about freedom of the press when Obama was secretly having them wire-tapped.

I don't recall left-whiners being concerned about freedom of the press when Bill Clinton tried to blame the Oklahoma City bombing on conservative talk radio.

I don't recall any left-whine concerns about how the "fairness doctrine" silenced political viewpoints that were contrary to what the liberal national media spun.

So forgive me if I don't care about your imaginary bogeymen - you haven't earned any trust or credulity from me.
