The federal government’s Catch-22 strategy to cover up its spying on Sharyl Attkisson
American Thinker ^ | 15 May, 2023 | Thomas Lifson

A landmark case on the deep state spying on an investigative journalist uncovering its crimes reaches a new stage of coverup.

We’ve been covering the incredible story of Sharyl Attkisson, the award-winning journalist, who discovered that her computer was being not just spied-upon but remotely taken over by the federal government. This was ten years ago, as she was reporting on the Fast & Furious Scandal for CBS News. She recorded video of her computer screen being remotely controlled, among other evidence.

The feds had no interest in pursuing their own wrongdoing, so Sharyl was forced to launch a civil suit, which has been in process for years now. We’ve publicized her GoFundMe appeal for help in the very expensive process of documenting the crimes and pursing justice in civil court.

Now, via her GoFundMe page, Sharyl reveals the way the feds have used the law to put her in a no-win Catch-22 situation. In an update written by Mark Fitzgibbons, who has organized the GoFundMe appeal, we learn the incredible, unassailable power the feds have:

You cannot make this up:

+The government's computer intrusion is forensically confirmed and undeniable, with forensic proof that the govt. is the source.

+But since DOJ won't hold their own accountable or prosecute them, my only recourse is to seek justice through this civil lawsuit.

+Forensic proof isn't enough to get the case to a jury. The courts require me to somehow play detective and, in advance, identify the names of the govt. people responsible for the intrusions, and supply the proof of their direct involvement... but without the power to access the evidence.

+That's because the law gives DOJ (guilty party in this case) the authority to grant or deny our to access to the crucial documents

I recall that the FBI also tried to plant child porn on her husbands computer.

It’s not a government: it’s a criminal enterprise.

It doesn’t guard the border.
It doesn’t punish criminals.
It doesn’t protect citizens or property.
It doesn’t ensure honest elections.
It doesn’t ensure fair trials.

We don’t have a government.

Another of the many reasons they don’t want Trump in the White House.

The entire federal government has been corrupted to the core.

Thanks, Obama. He started with the DOJ politicization, followed by the Big Purge (of Patriots). He was taught well, by his die hard communist mentors. Even his passport got purged, thanks to the admitted communist, Brennan.

DOJ needs to be scrapped first, or the rest will never get fixed.

But first, we need to purge the globalist geriatrics in the Senate.

How? Term Limits. Nothing else will do it.

How do we get Term Limits? (Congress will NEVER pass a proposed amendment for them)

Article V of the Constitution. Follow Mark Meckler and his very good group to join the effort! It’s called a “Convention Of States (COS),” which IS NOT a Constitutional Convention. Although paid (by America’s eneimies) disrupters—including here on FR—will call it that to scare the bejesus out of people.

Any thread discussing COS will get spammed with the paid disrupters to change it to “Constitutional Convention!!!” and say people will hijack it and rewrite the Constitution, which is illegal as heck and will not, cannot happen.

America’s enemies know a COS is the Achilles Heel of the entire communist takeover of fedgov. And they act accordingly.

You have to ask yourself, Can it be fixed and if so who can fix it.

“I recall that the FBI also tried to plant child porn on her husbands computer.”

The probability is, it is so much worse than that, even if that was real (and it was probably just to cement a cover).

She is a tier one target, and probably has been for years off psychological analysis from her surveillance early in her career. Tier one targets very often get the most intimate form of infiltration agents inserted. Her husband is former fed surveillance, she said so. He said he should have recognized the surveillance around them, but just never noticed it. And when there was a hard piece of evidence, the cable wired into her FIOS Box, she asked her husband to save it, and he said it was gone when he went to look for it.

Nobody really knows what is going on with domestic intel. It is so much worse than any of you could imagine.
