If You Are Not Following This Story, You Should Be...Chilling...

There are elements in this "story," if true, that are precursors of a more than "soft tyranny."

But we heard nothing further until the publication of Attkisson’s explosive book, Stonewalled: My Fight for Truth Against the Forces of Obstruction, Intimidation, and Harassment in Obama’s Washington. Now the next shoe has dropped, as the New York Post reports:

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.

Yes it works, Adam.

Was Atkinsson working on any especially sensitive stories that could be perceived as a threat to the Obama administration?

Greg

Yes.

Yes.

It starteed with her work on Benghazi.

Peculiar "push back" from elements allegedly in the administration was applied to her bosses.

They cooperated, allegedly.

Then the actual "spook" "stuff" started to occur when she investigated "fast and furious."

Thanks,Adam. There are a lot of news stories I don't follow very closely.

Hey, at least she's not in Russia. Putin would have had her poisoned. Notice how as government devolves to match the values of the political majority who made it what it is today... the more it becomes at cross purposes to the American minority who didn't make it what it is today?

Here's another story that's flying under the radar...

Homeland Security... NOT the Army or the Marines... has an open purchase order for 1.2 BILLION rounds of ammunition. Why in the hell does a domestic organization need enough ammo to kill everyone in the US five times over?

http://www.forbes.com/sites/ralphbenko/2013/03/11/1-6-billion-rounds-of-ammo-for-homeland-security-its-time-for-a-national-conversation/

(excerpt...)

The Denver Post, on February 15th, ran an Associated Press article entitled Homeland Security aims to buy 1.6b rounds of ammo, so far to little notice. It confirmed that the Department of Homeland Security has issued an open purchase order for 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition. As reported elsewhere, some of this purchase order is for hollow-point rounds, forbidden by international law for use in war, along with a frightening amount specialized for snipers. Alsoreported elsewhere, at the height of the Iraq War the Army was expending less than 6 million rounds a month. Therefore 1.6 billion rounds would be enough to sustain a hot war for 20+ years.

My guess is that they are trained affirmative action marksmen...

I find this woman to be a professional of high integrity in a profession that does not know how to spell the word, or, know it's meaning and certainly have no desire to practice it.

"One of the things my producer and I did early on to try to get clues, because you know they told us so little initially, we requested White House photos taken that night," she explained. "Because if you know how the White House works, a photographer is omnipresent. He would have been there taking photographs in the Situation Room. He would have been taking photographs of the president that night. So we asked for the photos, which in my view, are public information. They are paid for with tax dollars, and they release them when they want them released and they are positive."

Attkisson said that she had requested the photos. However, though she was told by the White House photo office that she would receive the photos by the end of the day, she was then referred to Josh Earnest, who was deputy press secretary at the time, who refused to respond to both her and her producers' phone calls and emails.

That is the lying weasel that is the current Press Secretary for the regime.

She kept pushing.

"We tried to maintain communication with him or try to make communication with him over a long period of time, and he wouldn't even answer," she said. "We would go back to the White House press, photographer's office and say, 'You have given us an impossible task. You have told us to talk to someone who will not talk to us. You need to give us another route to follow to try and get these photos.' And they would say no, you have to talk to Josh Earnest."

So she hit a wall back then...the unconstitutional intrusions apparently began around then, although I am not precisely aware of the timeline, if it has been published.

"So that just went down a dead-end road. I think that is entirely unacceptable, Attkisson added. "The press officers work for the public. They are publicly paid to be responsive to the press and the public. Those White House photos belong to the public, in my view, to the extent that they wouldn't reveal any national secrets. To this day, they remain secret."

"I would just be interested in seeing whatever they show," she concluded.

This regime makes Nixon look like a pickpocket compared to these bank robbers.

Following what this regime does or doesn't do is a perpetual horror show. How sad.

Attkisson filed a Federal lawsuit in the DC Circuit:

Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton added: “We know from the emails we have already obtained that the Obama White House and the Justice Department sought to silence this courageous reporter. Now, we need to find out just how far they went."

The lawsuit was filed on Nov. 19, 2014, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

In it, the lawsuit demands: “Any and all records concerned, regarding or relating to Sharyl Attkisson. Such records include, but are not limited to, records of background checks of Sharyl Attkisson, records of communications, contacts, or correspondence between Sharyl Attkisson and employees, officials or agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and records of investigations concerning or regarding Sharyl Attkisson as a victim…”

But what does she hope to accomplish with her lawsuit?

She is pursuing this assertively.

The Obama Justice Department and the United States Postal Service have issued carefully parsed denials that they hacked her phones and computers, but Sharyl Attkisson remains unconvinced.

“Unfortunately, the government doesn’t always provide truthful information,” the former CBS News correspondent told the Daily Beast this week. “We can’t just take the word of the government when it says something. I wish we could.”

Her suits engage the Postal Service and the Justice Department amongst the Defendants.

But this week the Justice Department and the Postal Service—among the defendants in the case, who also include Attorney General Eric Holder and Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe (both of whom have announced retirement plans), and various “unknown named agents” of the government—pushed back hard against Attkisson’s allegations.

“We stand by our statement from 2013,” a Justice Department spokesperson emailed the Daily Beast in response to Attkisson’s claim that she and her family suffered property losses, emotional stress and other injuries as a result of government intrusions

She, and most folks, believe that she is being stonewalled.

Attkisson is quick to poke holes in the government’s protestations of innocence. The Postal Service’s denial seems purposely vague, she said. “I think I know what they mean by ‘the allegations reported in the media,’ but it’s not specific.”

As for the Justice Department’s statement, “It’s only a qualified denial,” Attkisson said. “I would like to know to whom ‘our knowledge’ refers. Was there an investigation of people at DOJ before they arrived at that conclusion? Or was it just the two guys who wrote the press release?...And if they take the position that they have ‘no knowledge,’ I would suggest that they should be working a little harder to get to the bottom of this.”

Attkisson noted that the Justice Department and the FBI—which she says opened an investigation of her case, but never contacted her, and apparently has amassed a 5,000-page file on the hacking of her communications’ devices and related issues—has either rejected or ignored repeated Freedom of Information Act requests and letters demanding the relevant documents.

NRO had The Attkisson File today explain that:

The pattern begins with blatant denials — bald lies — and stonewalling. Attkisson deftly articulates one of the bona fide occupational qualifications for service as a spokesperson in the Obama administration. Referring specifically to HHS spokeswoman Joanne Peters, whom Attkisson had caught lying to her, she writes: “It takes a certain kind of person to be untruthful and then display utter lack of contrition when caught.”

Next in the pattern, when the lies fail, comes the attribution of responsibility to the lowest level of bureaucrat. Also, rather than responding to straightforward inquiries, administration spokesmen pump reporters for the information they have so they can undermine it. Attkisson calls this technique “pump and mine.” The administration then plants slanted leaks to friendly bloggers and reporters; next, it characterizes any advances in the story as “old news.”
