A former CBS News reporter who quit the network over claims it kills stories that put President Obama in a bad light says she was spied on by a “government-related entity” that planted classified documents on her computer.
In her new memoir, Sharyl Attkisson says a source who arranged to have her laptop checked for spyware in 2013 was “shocked” and “flabbergasted” at what the analysis revealed.
“This is outrageous. Worse than anything Nixon ever did. I wouldn’t have believed something like this could happen in the United States of America,” Attkisson quotes the source saying.
She speculates that the motive was to lay the groundwork for possible charges against her or her sources.

With Obama, the ends justify the means. He is capable of ANYTHING if it will hasten the destruction of this country.
Yes, Sharyl ... is outrageous but it tells the tale of they hate the truth.
Welcome to Obama’s fascist state.
If there was no New York Post in NYC there would not be ANY truthful political news in the New York City.
If true, it should shake the Democratic party thug government regime to its core.
Watergate was trivial in comparison.
Planting classified information to frame someone?
Entire agencies should go down over that. How do they prosecute Snowden after that? Which FISA judge authorized such a thing? (we know the answer: none of them).
Good grammar is your friend. :-)
I find it interesting that a big-time investigative reporter who focuses mainly on the Federal Government puts anything on a computer that is connected to the internet - at all.
And some firewalls and spyware seem kind of a no-brainer; even back in 2000.
I like Atkinson. She’s good. This sort of shows, however, how even the best reporters are still too trusting of our government.
I can’t wait until someone tells her that voter fraud exists.
and without Free Republic there would be no truth ...
Whatever these classified documents are, they should be presented to a federal judge as evidence of a major criminal conspiracy, then let *him* contact the appropriate government agency inspector general responsible for those documents to advise him of that agency’s security breach.
Then, she should ask the judge to provide her with a “limited Top Secret clearance”, in case any other classified documents suddenly appear in electronic devices under her control, on condition she immediately turn them over to the court on discovery.

Most investigative reporters these days do 90% of their work searching the internet in their bunny slippers. Phone calls account for the other 10%. They don’t need the gum shoes anymore, or so they think.
>>Welcome to Obama’s fascist state.<<
Is it really just Obozo? I see the whole gubbamint permeated with this sort of thing. Republicans as well as democrats, both are complicit in the destruction of our republic.
Proof?
>Republican or Democrat...borders remain wide open.
>Republican or Democrat...gubbamint expansion out of control
>Republican or Democrat...IRS remains intact.
>Republican or Democrat...degradation of the middle class.
>Republican or Democrat...fiscal mismanagement unabated.
>Republican or Democrat...Foreign interest over American citizens interest.
>Republican or Democrat...Government spies on it’s own citizens w/o probable cause.
and on and on and on. These are servants of the people whom we elect to SERVE the people. Can y’all detect any since of servitude in D.C.?
Everyone on FR should google “gang stalking”. This govt harassment is being carried out agains’t thousands of everyday Americans 24/7. If you try to buck the system or fight back agains’t any type of govt abuse you need to be prepared for this to happen to you and your family. Its incredibly intimidating even if you are a strong minded person.
PING
So now the reporter knows that the current administration is a facist dictatorship?
I think she figured that out which is why she was doing those stories.
If you’re qoinq to do email you have to have a computer connected to the internet. The only way to qet around the spyinq is to meet in person with somebody without usinq any electronic means for arranqinq the meetinq. Or snail-mail. And even after all that, if they have somebody watchinq your movements, they don’t even need to know you’re qoinq to meet with someone; they just follow you wherever you qo.
There is no such thinq as privacy, for anybody that the qovernment is interested in. It’s a qiven for those who investiqate the qovernment. For those who don’t, our knowinq about the surveillance is a reason to call us “crazy”...
As more and more of these stories qet out it becomes increasinqly more difficult for those who call us crazy to have any credibility, except amonq the coke-heads who only care about the size of Kim Kardashian’s derriere.
Obama has turned all the alphabet aqencies aqainst the American people while lettinq our enemies waltz across our borders undetected as if they were of no concern. He is a foreiqn enemy combatant and it is NO ACCIDENT that he has turned our own qovernment aqainst us. This really and truly is NOT America any more.
I'm not at all surprised and I think she needs to take extreme precautions to avoid "an unfortunate accident".
