Sharyl Attkisson's computers compromised
Politico ^ | 5/21/13 | Dylan Byers

Posted on 05/21/2013 10:01:15 AM PDT by Thane_Banquo

Sharyl Attkisson, the Emmy-award winning CBS News investigative reporter, says that her personal and work computers have been compromised and are under investigation.

"I can confirm that an intrusion of my computers has been under some investigation on my end for some months but I'm not prepared to make an allegation against a specific entity today as I've been patient and methodical about this matter," Attkisson told POLITICO on Tuesday. "I need to check with my attorney and CBS to get their recommendations on info we make public."

[Attkisson told WPHT that irregular activity on her computer was first identified in Feb. 2011, when she was reporting on the Fast and Furious gun-walking scandal and on the Obama administration's green energy spending, which she said “the administration was very sensitive about.” Attkisson has also been a persistent investigator of the events surrounding last year's attack in Benghazi, and its aftermath.]

Here's an excerpt from the interview in which Attkisson revealed White House abuse she has suffered to radio talk show host Laura Ingraham.

INGRAHAM: So they were literally screaming at you?

ATTKISSON: Yes. Well, the DOJ woman was just yelling at me. A guy from the White House-

INGRAHAM: Who was it?

ATTKISSON: On Friday night literally screamed at me and cussed at me-

INGRAHAM: Who was the person? Who was the person at Justice screaming?

ATTKISSON: Eric Schultz- oh, the person screaming was [DOJ spokeswoman] Tracy Schmaler. She was yelling, not screaming-

INGRAHAM: Oh, really?

ATKISSON: And the person who screamed at me was Eric Schultz at the White House.

ATTKISSON: They will tell you that I’m the only reporter- as they told me- that is not reasonable. They say ‘The Washington Post’ is reasonable, the ‘LA Times’ is reasonable, ‘The New York Times’ is reasonable- I’m the only one who thinks this is a story, and they think I’m unfair and biased by pursuing it. And my side of the story is- and I never knew where this story was going when I talked to those whistle-blowers back in January and February- and I didn’t care where it went. I’m just, sort of, digging away and going where it leads. But I’m sure they take it very personally, because it’s very important- they have very important implications.

Bingo, the mentor from the Santa Cruz area is right:

“If you have young children and aren’t at least considering another country, you are a negligent parent.”

‘Equine feces. If you think this won’t soon be global you aren’t awake. There is no place to run.’

We checked out a few places after Obozo won his first election, and there were basically no safe havens.

Since 2008, financially, most if not all of the other countries are worse off than we are. That is why they load up on American ETFs and treasury notes, when their economies go sour.

Rich Asians, Euros, and some Canutes are buying up some of very the expensive properties in our Wino county areas and probably in your area and south to Santa Barbara.

“One thing that concerns me is the supposed hacker group anonymous has been really really quiet about this spying and hacking, you would think they would be raising a stink about this... Instead they are quiet, it tells me the admin now somewhat “owns” them....”

One of our younger relatives, who is a true computer and computer software genius, has said the same thing.

David Rhodes (0bama advisor) calls Benjamin Rhodes (CBS Pres.).. SSSHHHHHHHHHH

You would have to think this is exactly why Rhodes went out of his way to slander her as an advocate and not show her stories.....he knew this was coming. BTW< where the hell are Christie and Rubio? What about McCain? These people make me sick.

I may very well do this...

I'm pretty sure I can set one up but a nice 'step-by-step' cheat sheet would be most sweet.

Lemme know if you eventually put one together.

And you can bet the farm that "Get the transcript, Candy" was a preplanned moment, orchestrated by CBS's Benjamin Rhodes and 0bama's David Rhodes (brothers). Bet the farm on it.

In hindsight, CBS's 0bama/Romney debate was a stage play 'FIXED' by the Rhodes brothers; Conspiracy of epic proportions.

IMPEACH.

CBS has been a sympathetic entity for Communism, Socialism and Marxism since the days of Edward R. Murrow. Their tactics are nothing new either. Their advantage in this time period is that over half of the American public could care less one way or another.

And what we are doing now works?

After the immigration bill passes, the whole country goes blue. Which is what the GOP seems to want.

Hope is not a strategy. Reality is a real nasty thing.

Well the GOP ran a hard left ‘Republican” and a whole bunch of ‘freepers’ had screaming fits about why it was conservative to vote for him.

The VP candidate recently came out for homosexual adoption.

And a number of freepers still to this very day haunt threads with screaming fits that we would not voluntarily assist the GOP in it’s rush to the left.

Odd that...

No hysterics, or screaming.

But YOU cost us the election, and what you and others just like you did—so-called conservatives with a conscious—did put the very evil Clintonite Barack Obama right square back in the WH.

Justify your inaction with whatever righteous bloviation you deem necessary. Fire away, Obama/Clinton enabler...

Yep, and don’t think that CBS management will take her side either.
