The Government Spied on Me. You Could Be Next.
Real Clear Politics ^ | May 10, 2019 | Sharyl Attkisson

Posted on 05/10/2019 1:23:00 PM PDT by detective

It was bad enough when the Department of Justice under Attorney General Eric Holder engaged in spying on journalist James Rosen (and even spied on his parents' phone records). And the same cast of characters secretly spied on Associated Press reporters -- also in the name of tracking down government leakers.

Amid those discoveries were NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden's revelations about massive government spying on the citizenry, which Director of National Intelligence James Clapper had denied under oath. As the dominos began to fall, Holder expressed some regret, particularly as it applied to the intrusion upon journalists, who until the Obama administration had been considered largely off limits for the government's intel dragnet.

Then there's my case.

During the same period, intelligence sources alerted me that the government was spying on my electronic devices while I was an investigative reporter at CBS News. I was often working with whistleblowers inside the administration: honest people willing to expose bad things going on inside the federal government.

Holder is a traitor and a liar. The latter should put him in jail of Fast & Furious. Watch the Dem wackos defend him.

Time for a Special Prosecutor on F&F. I want this bastard in jail for malfeasance of office if not aiding and abetting the murder of a US federal officer.

He is the worst AG in American history, bar none. Let him pay for his crimes.

speaking of spying

Comey, among others, dislikes the word spying as connected to his criminality, yet it was he who hired Christopher Steele, ex-M.I.6 spy, to spy against Trump.

Google Christopher Steele and here is what returns.

“Find the Democrat prick who did it’s

Obama was in charge of the government.

Comedy was in charge of the FBI.

They are the ones who ordered it done.

This is the strongest, most powerful detailing of the facts by Sharyl Atkisson in the potential massive illegal domestic spying apparatus in our country.

Your cell phone is listening to you as you carry on a conversation. No one knows who uses the info.

*************

We already know this capability exists. If you watch some of the ads that pop up in your browser that relate to things you recently discussed VERBALLY (especially with someone else who has a cell phone, which is nearly everyone) it is hard not to conclude that THEY are listening to (and storing) your every word. If the social media sites have that info, its safe to assume that the government has it as well.
