Attkisson v. Eric Holder, Department of Justice, et al

Many of you have asked for the status of my computer intrusion lawsuit against the federal government.

On March 19, 2017, a federal judge denied the government’s motion to dismiss my computer intrusion lawsuit, and transferred the case from Washington D.C. to the Eastern District of Virginia.

Below are excerpts from the judge’s opinion, which provides a good summary.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

MEMORANDUM OPINION, by U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan

As an investigative reporter for CBS News, Ms. Attkisson was responsible for investigating and reporting on national news stories. Between 2011 and 2013, she investigated and prepared various high-profile news reports, including ones related to the “Fast and Furious” “gunwalking” operation and the attack on the American diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya…

In 2011——at the same time that Ms. Attkisson was conducting investigations and issuing certain of her high-profile news reports——the Attkissons “began to notice anomalies in numerous electronic devices at their home in Virginia.” These anomalies included Ms. Attkisson’s work-issued laptop computer and a family desktop computer “turning on and off at night without input from anyone in the household,” “the house alarm chirping daily at different times,” and “television problems, including interference.” These electronic devices used “the Verizon FiOS line installed in [the Attkissons’] home,” but Verizon was unable to stanch the anomalous activity despite multiple attempts. In January 2012, the Attkissons’ residential internet service “began constantly dropping off.”

In February 2012, “sophisticated surveillance spyware” was installed on Ms. Attkisson’s work-issued laptop computer. A later forensic computer analysis revealed that Ms. Attkisson’s laptop and the family’s desktop computer had been the “targets of unauthorized surveillance efforts.” That same forensic analysis revealed that Ms. Attkisson’s mobile phone was also targeted for surveillance when it was connected to the family’s desktop computer. . .

I wonder if her boss at the time, David Rhodes, president of seeBS and the connection to his brother, Ben Rhodes, Deputy National Security Advisor of 0bammy’s white hut, had anything to do with this.

I hope they all get exposed.

Is there a fisa warrant? Someone should check because if there is to me it is proof the fisa court was misused. I want to see that pos holder back on center stage.

Godspeed, Sharyl. Always liked her; even when I first saw her on CNN (gasp) way back. Very professional.

From your keyboard to God’s ears. It’s plainly, glaringly obvious the Obama Administration was involved in harming this nation and her citizens through a number of methods.

She claims no but only on part of the surveillance. My guess is discovery is still ongoing.

The government was probably doing exactly what William Binney has been saying for at least 10 years. The government spies on everyone: Judges, lawyers, journalists, state govt employees, basically anyone with any chance of influencing policy, now or in the future.

Trump has a chance to change this, and it would be better to the US than throwing Rice or even Obama in prison. Although, if it gets down to it, the deep state might sacrifice Obama to save itself.

The scumbags said,

“This ditz got a key stuck or something..! SHE did it, SHE deleted that stuff..!”

And at the time there were people who believed that rejoinder.

I ALWAYS BELIEVED HER.

And NOW? It’s only idiots that would doubt her.

This actually has me wondering if they needed a FISA warrant at all. It makes me question if her boss, David Rhodes, gave his brother, Ben, and the white hut permission to check out her work computer. No warrant would be needed then if her boss gave them permission.

I was noticing back then what a good job she was doing (early 1990’s).

I have tons of respect for her. Lotsa guts.

Oh yes, very attractive lady. Smart and nice-looking.
