Rod Rosenstein Led Task Force that Spied on Attkisson’s Computers
A former federal agent has stepped forward to admit illegal spying on Attkisson’s computers, and has implicated colleagues. In a federal lawsuit filed this week, Former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosentein has been implicated in yet another improper government spy operation.
In the new complaint, Attkisson v. Rosenstein et.al., investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson names former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosentein and four other Justice Department officials as the government agents who of illegally survielled her electronic devices.
According to the complaint—filed in United States District Court in Baltimore, Maryland—Rosenstein led “a multi-agency task force in Baltimore that conducted surveillance of the Attkissons’ computer systems” and “used USPS IP addresses on other occasions to conduct operations.”
The complaint states that all of the defendants “were agents and/or employees of the United States Government working with Rosenstein” to conduct “the unlawful surveillance and hacking of the computer systems of the Plaintiffs.”
In June of 2017, Rosenstein signed off on the fourth and final application for the improper FISA warrant to spy on former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. A month earlier, he offered to wear a wire to spy on President Trump when he visited the Oval Office, although he later claimed that he was just joking.
Attkisson took to Twitter Thursday to explain in a video update about her case that she had just filed a new lawsuit in her years long fight “to hold the government agents accountable for the intrusions into my computer.”
“We have just filed a new complaint which I hope satisfies one of the issues a judge had that we’ve not been able to name the actual names of the government agents involved in the intrusion,” Attkison announced in her video. “Of course we argued we could not name the names because the government and courts would not permit us discovery to learn the names!”
She added: “We did some additional detective work. We have five names to present to the court—names based on our information that were directly involved in the surveillance of my computers. One of them is Rod Rosenstein, then U.S. Attorney in Baltimore, a former Department of Justice official.”
Besides Rosenstein, the other defendants named in the complaint are Shawn Henry, Sean Wesley Bridges, Robert Clarke, and Ryan White.
In 2010, then FBI Director Robert Mueller named Shawn Henry as the executive assistant director (EAD) of the Criminal, Cyber, Response, and Services Branch (CCRSB).
Henry left the FBI in 2012 and now is president of CrowdStrike Services, the cybersecurity firm hired by Democratic National Committee to examine its computer network in 2016 after it had been hacked. Crowdstrike ultimately determined Russia had hacked the DNC emails.
or = of............
I can only conclude that this was perfectly fine, right, Mr. Barr?
Why is it we NORMALS knew both RR & Mueller were both dirty, this without the aid of secret code???
Do you remember Samantha Power, Obama’s UN Ambassador? During the last year of Obama’s administration something like 200 to 300 unmasking requests were made in her name. When asked about it in public Congressional testimony, she only said that she didn’t make those requests herself.
Because of the high amount of internet disinformation concerning [RR].
If you were sitting on a Jury where some guy’s looking at a lengthy prison sentence and ALL of the Evidence came from the FBI,DOJ...Would you Believe the Government???
It appears the only disinformation regarding RR came from a small, cult-like group of adults who dabble in political make believe.
He was a skunk then.
Still is today.
I hope that two-faced weasel gets his in the end!!!!
I called him a “careerist.” He only cared about himself, and was willing to play dirty on behalf of whomever looked likely to be the winner.
Maybe “skunk” is better than “careerist.”
I read in the past day or two that he got a job with a big Washington law firm, King and Spaulding, as a partner in their “Government Investigations” unit. The bucks from that should complement his ample government pension.
I am sure the DOJ/FBI and other LEO’s are full of Obama parasites and sycophants, that cannot be easily fired.
Not now..........................

Yeah I saw that.
I guess that’s what happens when you’re allowed to commit whatever crimes you want with impunity.
If I remember correctly, someone broke into her home, rifled her computer and papers.
All without a legal access or permission.
The FBI was under the control of Obama parasites...............
