Rod Rosenstein Led Task Force that Spied on Attkisson’s Computers
A former federal agent has stepped forward to admit illegal spying on Attkisson’s computers, and has implicated colleagues. In a federal lawsuit filed this week, Former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosentein has been implicated in yet another improper government spy operation.
In the new complaint, Attkisson v. Rosenstein et.al., investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson names former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosentein and four other Justice Department officials as the government agents who of illegally survielled her electronic devices.
According to the complaint—filed in United States District Court in Baltimore, Maryland—Rosenstein led “a multi-agency task force in Baltimore that conducted surveillance of the Attkissons’ computer systems” and “used USPS IP addresses on other occasions to conduct operations.”
The complaint states that all of the defendants “were agents and/or employees of the United States Government working with Rosenstein” to conduct “the unlawful surveillance and hacking of the computer systems of the Plaintiffs.”
In June of 2017, Rosenstein signed off on the fourth and final application for the improper FISA warrant to spy on former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. A month earlier, he offered to wear a wire to spy on President Trump when he visited the Oval Office, although he later claimed that he was just joking.
Attkisson took to Twitter Thursday to explain in a video update about her case that she had just filed a new lawsuit in her years long fight “to hold the government agents accountable for the intrusions into my computer.”
“We have just filed a new complaint which I hope satisfies one of the issues a judge had that we’ve not been able to name the actual names of the government agents involved in the intrusion,” Attkison announced in her video. “Of course we argued we could not name the names because the government and courts would not permit us discovery to learn the names!”
She added: “We did some additional detective work. We have five names to present to the court—names based on our information that were directly involved in the surveillance of my computers. One of them is Rod Rosenstein, then U.S. Attorney in Baltimore, a former Department of Justice official.”
Besides Rosenstein, the other defendants named in the complaint are Shawn Henry, Sean Wesley Bridges, Robert Clarke, and Ryan White.
In 2010, then FBI Director Robert Mueller named Shawn Henry as the executive assistant director (EAD) of the Criminal, Cyber, Response, and Services Branch (CCRSB).
Henry left the FBI in 2012 and now is president of CrowdStrike Services, the cybersecurity firm hired by Democratic National Committee to examine its computer network in 2016 after it had been hacked. Crowdstrike ultimately determined Russia had hacked the DNC emails.
If true, this IS a big deal. If anyone pays attention to it.

I am remembering that ride Trump gave Rod on AF-1. How fitting it would have been if the plane had landed without Rod.
If [RR] is dirty, Mueller must also be dirty.

THEY NEVER THOUGHT SHE WOULD LOSE........................
She is a very key data point - they need to feed her MAC address ip combination into the big database they vacuumed up all the scans of her systems. With this they can start walking the cat back to see what operator was activating what implants. I think she could be the beginning of a chain of activity logs that show how Obama was using the CIA’s vault 7 tools to persecute, spy on and extort political rivals and fellow Americas. Somebody was signing in with Susan Rices credentials - most like Brennan or Obama.
CRIMINAL STATE v honest citizens? Good luck, Sharyl
535+ v 330 million. How did Stalin, Hitler, Mao do it?
Bump
Our government is spying on anyone who threatens it.
No longer does government care if citizens are protected...it cares more that government is protected.
This is criminal beyond all reason. I predict it will go nowhere. Sharyl has been seeking justice for years.
When is this spy going to prison?
“All power comes from the end of a gun barrel.”.....Mao...................
Probably never if he turned into a state’s witness.............
On Pay Per View!!
The business or government is power: Get it, wield it, never let it go....................
