CBS reporter claims her computers were hacked..tries to link it to the Justice Dept with no evidence

Maybe her husband got a virus when he was downloading pron(sp). Or perhaps she got a virus when she opened an email from Nigeria's Finance Minister. No matter....blame Obama's Justice Department even though you have ZERO evidence to back up your claims.


CBS' Sharyl Attkisson: My Computers Were Compromised, 'Could Be Some Relationship' To DOJ Scandals

CBS News reporter Sharyl Attkisson said on Tuesday that her personal and work computers have been "compromised" for over two years.

Attkisson told a local Philadelphia radio station that she has been working with investigators to discover the source of the activity.

<...>

Host Chris Stigall asked if Attkisson thought that she had been the victim of a government operation, as the Associated Press and Fox News' James Rosen were. Attkisson was careful not to make any specific allegations about who had been targeting her, but she said it was possible there was a connection.

"I think there could be some relationship between these types of things and what happened to me," she said
, adding that something suspicious had been happening since "at least February of 2011 and I think probably a significant period of time before that."

Just to be clear, there are no DOJ "scandals" when it comes to the ongoing leak investigations. Subpoena's were issued in the AP case and a Federal Magistrate approved a search warrant for Rosen's emails.

No reporters have been prosecuted for receiving classified information, but the leakers have been prosecuted for leaking classified information.

There's no scandal and there's no criminal wrongdoing by the Administration. Everything was LEGAL and by the book.

I'd like to note that the subpoenas in the AP case were administrative. In other words, they were issued by the department of justice and not a judge, now were they reviewed by the judiciary.

And I think claiming it was legal as a justification is absurd.

The Nuremberg Laws were legal too.

I wasn't referring to the subpoena in the AP case. Two different procedures were followed, but both totally legal and by the book when it came to those investigations into the leaking of classified information.

BTW, what are your thoughts on the claims of the CBS reporter?

until I held the keyboard upside down, shook it, and a load of crumbs fell out.

It was okay after that.

There's a sucker born every minute. Those places make a killiing off the gullible. They plant false
positives and then tell you how dangerous it would be to use your computer from that point on.

"Just give is $100 to fix the damage for now and subscribe for
$39.95 a month forevermore and you'll be in great shape."
