Sharyl Attkisson: The Department of Justice Coverup of its Spying on Me Continues
American Thinker ^ | 01/29/2020 | Sharyl Attkisson

Posted on 01/29/2020 7:16:58 AM PST by SeekAndFind

There has been a lot of water under the bridge since 2013 when CBS News first publicly announced the forensic evidence proving I was victimized by a long-term, remote effort to illegally spy on me and my CBS work through my computers. (You can watch the original news story below):

CLICK ABOVE LINK FOR THE VIDEO

A half dozen independent forensics exams later, with uninvited government IP addresses definitively identified as pathways into my computers, with forensic testimony from a former NSA specialist, with a sworn statement of confirmation from a former FBI Unit chief, and with a former federal agent confessing to being part of the government’s illegal spy operation against me and many other U.S. citizens,  it is reasonable to ask: Is the Department of Justice (DOJ)  alarmed by the shocking injustices and crimes? Is DOJ interested in holding accountable the federal agents who are responsible? Is DOJ concerned with making sure the activity has stopped and does not happen to others?

Apparently not.

Going on seven years now, the DOJ remains precisely where it started: in huddle down and cover up mode. Rather than acknowledge the forensic evidence and dig deeper to identify all of the agents who touched the illegal operation and all of the victimized Americans, and rather than being incensed by the confession of a former federal agent who admitting spying on me, DOJ has used unlimited taxpayer dollars to block pursuit of the facts.

In a just or fair system, the DOJ would  not have searched for legal excuses to dismiss the lawsuit I filed to bring the abuses to light…

We have oversight committees, we have Inspectors General, we have mandatory audits. We have all kinds of checks and balances.

But everyone is on the same team. They all “examine” each other by waving a hand and declaring, “Looks good to me! No rules were broken!”

We need to find a way to break up the team and get some degree of honesty back into the system.

Yep. And all three branches that are supposed to "check" each other are also on the same team. They all benefit from more, bigger, more powerful federal government. They are all invested in each other's power.

If the President is paying attention, he might consider ORDERING Barr to PERSONALLY supervise the DOJ team withholding Attkisson’s evidence requests and produce the documents or his resignation in two weeks.

That is the appropriate solution. Trump is massively better than any Dem, but he could sure help himself by directing his employees when they need direction.

This line in Atkisson’s write-up shows why DoJ will resist her to the bitter end: “with a former federal agent confessing to being part of the government’s illegal spy operation against me AND MANY OTHER U.S. CITIZENS...” They know they once she opens Pandora’s box of DoJ sins, all the others they have surveilled, including many politicians, will demand redress.

Love this woman.

I hope she nails them to the wall.

Barr—where are you? Cleaning out corruption in the DOJ or in cover-up mode for the Deep State?

Did you read the article?

Atkinson is using the legal system and DOJ is using "unlimited taxpayer dollars to block pursuit of the facts" in her case.

Barr's DOJ could spend more time and money frying other fish instead of frying Attkisson and defending their corrupt spying actions.
