This is easily the read of the day. Sharyl Attkisson is the bravest reporter of her generation, so much of a threat to people with access to the capabilities of our intel agencies that she was spied upon and worse. Today she faces the ugly truth about what recent reports (if true) reveal:
Nobody wants our intel agencies to be used like the Stasi in East Germany; the secret police spying on its own citizens for political purposes. The prospect of our own NSA, CIA and FBI becoming politically weaponized has been shrouded by untruths, accusations and justifications.
She goes on to review a number of instances of us being lied to about spying, about spying on journalists, and then gets to her personal experience in fighting back against an actual hack she experienced while at CBS News:
I have spent more than two years litigating against the Department of Justice for the computer intrusions. Forensics have revealed dates, times and methods of some of the illegal activities. The software used was proprietary to a federal intel agency. The intruders deployed a keystroke monitoring program, accessed the CBS News corporate computer system, listened in on my conversations by activating the computer's microphone and used Skype to exfiltrate files.
We survived the government's latest attempt to dismiss my lawsuit. There's another hearing Friday. To date, the Trump Department of Justice – like the Obama Department of Justice – is fighting me in court and working to keep hidden the identities of those who accessed a government internet protocol address found in my computers.
Sharyl is fighting back, and is not shying away from what she sees, though she wisely avoids terms like "Deep State" and "establishment." She is reporting:

Sessions is not a fan of personal liberty.
It’s institutionalized corruption. Else Sessions wouldn’t be witholding the damning evidence and documents hidden over at Justice.
what we have now is...
Government of the people
By the entrenched,
Despite the people.
Agree. You are right.
“In questions of power...let no more be heard of confidence in
man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the
Constitution.” —Thomas Jefferson: Kentucky Resolutions, 1798.
3rd most of the sheep in this country don’t care.
NOthing will happen and it will drop in the memory hole.
America will get what America deserves, if that is what happens.
And it won’t be pretty.
“We have no choice but to dismantle the CIA, FBI, and NSA.
This starts with allowing every American to inspect the records they have on us.
We need to prosecute not just the past leadership of these organizations, we need to prosecute the employees who participated in lawlessness.”
This is exactly what has happened. And the NSA and CIA were created to protect us from another Pearly Harbor, that’s it. They have been a source of almost constant war since their creation. They have caused America to be held in contempt by most of the world.
75 years from now, the NSA and CIA will be generally spoken of the war we speak of the Gestapo, NKVD, and SS.
I admire her so much. She is an investigative reporter worthy of the title!

Well, it’s time we became a weaponized citizenry and dragged these deep-state SOBS out of their holes. God knows our government won’t help us.

Once Obama and his allies launched their domestic surveillance operation, they crossed the Rubicon. And there was no way back. They had to destroy President Trump or risk going to jail.
Each act of illegal surveillance became more blatant. And when illegal surveillance couldnt stop Trumps victory, they had to double down on the illegal surveillance for a coup.
The more Obama spied on Trump, the more he had to keep doing it. This time it was bound to pay off.
The left is sitting on the biggest crime committed by a sitting president. The only way to cover it up is to destroy his Republican successor.
A turning point in history is here.
If Obama goes down, the left will go down with him. If his coup succeeds, then America ends.

Edward Bernays (1928) - The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country, “We are governed , our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of.”
Sessions has been coopted. The left has had decades to infiltrate our intel agencies and government. They are packed with leftists. This is still Obamas DOJ.

Why go through the trouble of altering it when you can just ignore it?
If one side abides by it and the other runs roughshod over it with nary a consequence?
