Did the Obama administration put a journalist under surveillance for reporting critically on its activities? Former CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson says yes — and she wants $35 million in damages from the Department of Justice for it. Attkisson filed a series of legal motions today that claim the DoJ hacked into her computer and attacked her professionally:
In a series of legal filings that seek $35 million in damages, Attkisson alleges that three separate computer forensic exams showed that hackers used sophisticated methods to surreptitiously monitor her work between 2011 and 2013. …
In the lawsuit and related claims against the Postal Service, filed in Washington, Attkisson says the intruders installed and periodically refreshed software to steal data and obtain passwords on her home and work computers. She also charges that the hackers monitored her audio using a Skype account.
The award-winning reporter says she and her attorneys have “pretty good evidence” that these efforts were “connected” to the Justice Department. She said she was caught in a “Catch-22,” forcing her to use the lawsuit and an administrative complaint to discover more about the surveillance through the discovery process and to learn the identities of the “John Does” named in the complaints.

Obama will blame NoKo.
Ping to Sharyl’s list!
Is that anything like an impeachable offense?
g’luck with that
btw, i’d avoid getting into any cars anytime soon
If true and I believe it may well be it’s shades of the old USSR right here at home under this 0bama administration.
The “perpetraitors” should be prosecuted and if convicted do much time in a federaL slammer.
This will be cool until some Feral “judge” tells her that she doesn’t have any “standing”. Oh yeah. She’ll be called a “far right, TEA Party racist” too.
The Watergate two-bit burglary was far, far worse than anything Obola could possibly even think of doing.
She probably already has a fever. I’d get a full physical immediately if I were her. Then either go into hiding or never be left alone (or both).
She could end up Brietbarted.
The stupid liberal, progressive wench finally gets half a clue as to what is going on.
She needs to get herself a pre-1990’s automobile if she hasn’t already....
Just sayin...
What is needed here is for a state to issue felony warrants against the Federal agents who committed this crime and if they won’t produce the warrants and documentation then prosecute them.
It won’t happen, of course, but what’s the alternative? Who watches the watchers?
[ The stupid liberal, progressive wench finally gets half a clue as to what is going on. ]
There is saying that some of the best conservatives out there were once liberals who were once mugged by their own people/idealology.
It needs to be amended to add “and actually leanred something from their experience”.

Very good. Atkinsson has her eye on the ball.
> ... a state to issue felony warrants...
Yes. Why is this not a criminal matter?
She’s a very brave woman.
If the DoJ is sued for $35M and loses, who pays?
Eric Holder? No. Taxpayers pay.
She won’t be harmed until she seeks jail time for these criminal offenses.
I’ve seen a video she shot of the supposed hack.
It looks far more like she spilled something into her keyboard, or there is a newspaper lying on a connected bluetooth keyboard. (Ask me how I know!)
If someone were savvy enough to hack into her computer, it wouldn’t appear like someone was mashing down a bunch of keys on a keyboard.
