DOJ Inspector General Report Finds No Evidence for Attkisson’s Hacking Claims
Mediaite ^ | 1/29/15 | Josh Feldman

Posted on 01/29/2015 6:39:55 PM PST by Nachum

Many of the allegations made by former CBS News reporter Sharyl Attkisson regarding alleged computer intrusions by the U.S. government are disputed in a report by the Justice Department’s inspector general. “The OIG’s investigation was not able to substantiate the allegations that Attkisson’s computers were subject to remote intrusion by the FBI, other government personnel, or otherwise,” reads the inspector general’s report. In her book “Stonewalled,” Attkisson had issued a wide-ranging set of claims — that her CBS News work computers and her personal computer had been hacked, that a strange wire was found hanging from the cable TV/broadband box

This admin is so corrupt .. it’s just stunning.

I’ve read the report from the computer specialists she hired; there’s no way they would lie about what they found ..?? When you find files on your computer that don’t belong there .. somebody had to put it there.

More people need to start praying over this country or we will not survive.

Higgins: Hey, Turner! How do you know they’ll print it? You can take a walk. But how far if they don’t print it?

Joe Turner: They’ll print it.

Higgins: How do you know?

Oh, sure, her internet provider put a fiber optic hardline into her house that she didn’t ask for, they didn’t tell her about and they didn’t charge her for. Happens all the time!

I write software for a living. I buy a new keyboard more often than I buy a new pair of shoes.

What I saw when I watched her video of her macbook being “hacked” resembled very much what I’ve seen my own computers do after spilling something into my keyboard, or having too much crap piled up on a wireless keyboard.

If someone were to hack her macbook, it wouldn’t look like someone holding down command-z (neighboring keys) for undo, which is what that video showed.

She wasn’t hacked; She had a hardware problem.

Did anyone really think they would find some evidence? ROTFL!!! If you did, I’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn I’d like to talk to you about.

Sounds good, except for the classified documents they found on her computer, the unknown hack into her system by unknown software, and another computer forensic expert who verified she was hacked.

So, I believe her, before I would believe you.

She did not want to go to the DOJ Inspector General because she thought it would be foolish to go to those connected with the department she thought was hacking her. She finally relented AFTER she had three forensic examinations done on her own because she thought it wouldn’t hurt. CBS also did a forensic exam and never shared the results with her. They are covering for Obama and his administration. Sickening. We CANNOT TRUST ANY OF THEM.

Amazing is it not? Investigate wrong doing (criminal and felonious) that you are accused of. Surprise surprise surprise, you find out that you did not do anything wrong.

If Al Capone investigated himself, he would have been found innocent of wrong doing also.
