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.
This is chilling stuff.
There is the strong implication that an administration that spied on the Associated Press and Fox News correspondent James Rosen might have been involved. A Justice Department spokesman said in an earlier statement that "to our knowledge" the department "has never 'compromised' Ms. Attkisson's computers" or tried to obtain information from any of her devices.

I know there is a book that needs selling... but isn’t the hacking of Sharyls computer old news?
This is hugh.
She was using an Apple Mac too! so be careful mac owners.
Concern troll. Stupid frname, too.
People need to go to JAIL.
Exactly. Isn’t that, like, so two years ago?

Does anyone doubt that a government capable of doing this is also capable of compromising a certain Supreme Court Chief Justice as well as a certain weepy House Speaker?
***”...that he was “shocked” and “flabbergasted” by his examination of her computer and that this was “worse than anything Nixon ever did.”***
I’m getting real tired of comparing Nixon to anything this administration has done - and the Clinton administration too. What Nixon did, or supposedly did, was childsplay; RMN was a choirboy compared to these rabid anti-American Marxist agitators.
Dude!
First I’ve heard of it.
It’s hard to keep up with all the un-American activities of this gang of crooks.
Bump
Considering that Nixon was trying to find out who was leaking classified materials to the press.
But swordmaker said this wasn’t possible on a mac so she must be lying.
The high level of sophistication in this hacking points to the involvement of serious players. Using a federal intelligence or law-enforcement agency to hack a journalist’s computer because she’s not toeing the line politically sounds like an impeachable offense.
This story should be front page news. Every real journalist in America should be outraged by this type of treatment to one of their own.
Absolutely.
One would think.
