The highly sophisticated hacking of Sharyl Attkisson's computers
Fox News ^ | October 28, 2014 | Howard Kurtz

Posted on 10/28/2014 6:06:07 AM PDT by Former Proud Canadian

From the moment that Sharyl Attkisson met a shadowy source I’ll call Big Mac, she was plunged into a nightmare involving mysterious surveillance of her computers.

They met at a McDonald’s in Northern Virginia at the beginning of 2013, and the source (she dubs him Number One) warned her about the threat of government spying. During their next hamburger rendezvous, Big Mac told Attkisson, then a CBS News reporter constantly at odds with the Obama administration, that he was “shocked” and “flabbergasted” by his examination of her computer and that this was “worse than anything Nixon ever did.”

Attkisson’s forthcoming book--“Stonewalled: My Fight for Truth Against the Forces of Obstruction and Intimidation in Obama’s Washington”—reads in part like a spy thriller. Just when you think Attkisson’s imagination might be running away with her comes wave after wave of evidence that both her CBS computer and personal iMac were repeatedly hacked and its files accessed, including one on Benghazi. A consultant hired by CBS reached the same conclusion. Further scrutiny of her personal desktop proves that “the interlopers were able to co-opt my iMac and operate it remotely, as if they were sitting in front of it.” And an inspection revealed that an extra fiber-optics line had been installed in Attkisson’s home without her knowledge.

Truly a chilling indictment.

Does CBS have any credibility left? Does President Obola? Is this the new normal? Do you live in a fascist country?

That's what happens when "real" conservatives sit out an election because the GOP candidate wasn't Ronald Reagan.

Can this be anything other than the regime?

The D.C./New York journolists will not close ranks with Attkisson to pummel the Obola administration over this because if there is one thing they covet more than journalistic freedom its leftist authoritarianism.

Since Attkisson did not play the game and cover for the JugEarred One, she will be sacrificed for the “greater good.”

Well, then...maybe the gop should try a Conservative candidate? Otherwise, they will continue the same one-worlk, DIM-lite crapola. The gop switch-and-bait is getting very tiresome. I’m not playing anymore.

Unfortunately, this is just SOP for the Obama administration to destroy anyone who opposes them.

They probably installed video cameras thru-out her home as well.

When will a Republican, any Republican in the House or Senate, call Obama out as a fascist, treasonous, violater of core constitutional rights and accordingly his oath?

This is FAR bigger than Watergate. Find those who installed the fiber line.

Yep. They tell us there is no difference between republicans and Obama democrats. If they cannot see any differences, they’re not paying attention or they’re too dense to try to help.

After 6 years of Øbama - and 2 more to go - you still don't get it. It's already too late. Election fraud has/will nullify your vote anyway.
BTW, Ronald Reagan raised taxes - more than once - AND signed an Amnesty bill. Some Conservative.

I believe that “amnesty bill” included sections that the LIBs never implemented. Lieing as usual. However, to use your philosophy, we’re all screwed so give up and hunker down. I’m not there yet. At local and state levels we’re doing fine with Conservatives in most positions.

Reagan was still the best by far. We’ve been betrayed by the GOP.

....nooooo, you’re both wrong. No conservatives sat out... unless you think dying is “sitting” it out. The numbers Don’t support your assertion, so give it a rest. The voter fraud made the difference, and the latest study suggesting 6% of illegals registered is way too understated. But, like good Rockefeller Repubs, keep pulling a McConnel and bashing conservatives... must make you feel good being a concern troll type.

ymmv
