Former CBS News reporter sues Justice Department for $35 million alleging her family was put under surveillance while she covered Benghazi

A former reporter with CBS News is suing the U.S. Department of Justice, alleging she was illegally spied on and digitally monitored.

Sharyl Attkisson's lawsuit alleges that the illegal surveillance took place while she covered stories on Benghazi and the Fast and Furious gunwalking case and refers to three forensic exams conducted on computers.

She is suing over alleged violations of the First and Fourth Amendments, and her husband and daughter are named as co-plaintiffs.

Attorney General Eric Holder, United States Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe, as well as 'unknown named agents' - including those at the Department of Justice and the US Postal Service - are named as defendants in the multi-million dollar lawsuit.

yes; what i meant to say was where is cbs news reporting on all of this, since it involves serious allegations about government interference with cbs news being made by a former cbs employee who was employed by cbs at the time the alleged government actions took place.

To ignore the story seems to imply a confirmation that there is inappropriate influence of the government over the media, in particular in this case, over cbs...

There's a Justice Department?

I thought it was the Just Us Department.

yeah.. the Holder "Just-Us" Dept., always seek-to-destroy real journalists whom are seeking clarity on
issues of National importance, instead of going after criminals like (Holder-approved) tax-cheaters/
race-baiters/hustlers & proverty pimps like Al "Meal-ticket" Sharpton and the DNC. et.al.
