Politico’s Dylan Byers Sneers at Attkisson Hacking Lawsuit
breitbart ^ | John Sexton

Posted on 01/05/2015 6:40:01 PM PST by Nachum

On Monday, former CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson revealed details of a $35 million lawsuit against the Justice Department and the U.S. Postal Service for the alleged hacking of her computers. This led to a new round of snark from Politico’s Dylan Byers, who suggested on Twitter Attkisson was taking the wrong approach:

#Realtalk: If you believe U.S. gov hacked your computers this isn’t the way you go about doing it… if you want publicity, on the other hand

— Dylan Byers (@DylanByers) January 5, 2015

This raises an obvious question. What is the right approach under the circumstances? Sharyl Attkisson pointed this out in reply to Byers (which, to be fair, was not without a touch of snark):

@DylanByers says suing the govt. is no way to hold them accountable for suspected computer intrusions–but didn’t suggest “right” way.

— Sharyl Attkisson (@SharylAttkisson) January 5, 2015

@DylanByers After FOI requests unanswered, Congressional queries unanswered, public info withheld, secret FBI investigation & more…

— Sharyl Attkisson (@SharylAttkisson) January 5, 2015

@DylanByers may think it’s best to wait and see if the govt. files charges against itself.

Byers is a little coward-girl hiding behind his keyboard. He doesn’t have the guts or reporting chops that Attkisson has.

Dylan Byers looks like a young Dick Morris.

Maybe that's too cruel a comparison. Sorry, Dick.

Why is it that punks don’t shave to make themselves look tough? It doesn’t work, and in this case, makes Dylan Look like a little kid who needs his face washed. What a punk.

Be skeptical of those who attack those blowing the whistle or asking tough questions--instead of the public officials implicated.

If Dylan Byers’ computer had been tapped by the Bush White House, he’d be calling for the President’s impeachment and jail time.

Who the f*ck cares what Politico or Dylan Byers has to say about anything. This is why I HATE the internet sometimes—it gives clowns a sense that what they have to say is important.

I wonder if that POS would feel good if conservative hackers hacked into the accounts of liberal/socialist/communist people?

This servile DNC lapdog, a sneering loser from Leftico, is not fit to wash Attkinson’s shoes.
