It looks like Obama did spy on Trump, just as he apparently did to me
The Hill ^ | September 20th, 2017 | Sharyl Attkisson

Posted on 09/20/2017 5:52:51 PM PDT by KC_Lion

Then, as now, instead of getting the bigger story, some in the news media and quasi-news media published false and misleading narratives pushed by government interests. They implied the computer intrusions were the stuff of vivid imagination, conveniently dismissed forensic evidence from three independent examinations that they didn’t review. All seemed happy enough to let news of the government’s alleged unlawful behavior fade away, rather than get to the bottom of it.

I have spent more than two years litigating against the Department of Justice for the computer intrusions. Forensics have revealed dates, times and methods of some of the illegal activities. The software used was proprietary to a federal intel agency. The intruders deployed a keystroke monitoring program, accessed the CBS News corporate computer system, listened in on my conversations by activating the computer’s microphone and used Skype to exfiltrate files.

We survived the government’s latest attempt to dismiss my lawsuit. There’s another hearing Friday. To date, the Trump Department of Justice — like the Obama Department of Justice — is fighting me in court and working to keep hidden the identities of those who accessed a government internet protocol address found in my computers.

One of the very few members of the press who has any credibility.

I am angered by the fact that the DoJ is still stonewalling this case. We need to find out who broke the law and bring them forward to face charges.

I think these crooked Dims could sit down at CNN/FOX and laugh at the camera about how they spied on Trump and our AG Jeff Sessions would not do a thing. I am so sick of the DoJ under Sessions.

OK, there have been people here saying to patiently wait on AG Sessions to come around but where is he on this????

This actually looks bad on Sessions as it appears he is protecting the swamp, just like the 0bama DOJ did. My patience is running out with Sessions.

The most disturbing truth is just how much the MSM are practically state sponsored propaganda organs. Fox is included. The media gets their stories fed to them and keeps up the Potemkin Village facade of being independent.

If you are a true independent journalist, you get the Sharyl Atkisson treatment. The message to her and to the rest is pretty clear; stay in line.

And this is the fate of independent journalists in every country in the world. Oh sure, in Russia the journalist gets the Putin Polonium cocktail. That is only a difference of degree, not of kind.

Tell everyone you know not to "share" any story or meme about an "outrage du jour" on social media until they read Attkisson's new book, The Smear.

It is pure dynamite.

I think every Freeper knows that we have a government in D.C. right now that is so corrupt to the core and we need a President like President Trump to get all of this evil corruption out of D.C.

This is why we keep saying "Drain the Swamp in D.C.!"

We are not just whistling "Dixie!"

Mueller, Comey, Clapper, Susan Rice, Brennan, Obama, etc., etc., etc., are so corrupt to the core. These guys will lie thru their teeth like there is no tomorrow.
