Yesterday The Conservative Treehouse<\/a> posted an article about the ongoing case of Sharyl Attkisson, a CBS journalist who was spied on by the government as she investigated the Fast and Furious scandal and later Benghazi.. I strongly suggest that you follow the link to the article as it includes a lot of detail about the case.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

According to a recent court filing [Source Here<\/a>] a person who was engaged in the \u201cwrongful activity\u201d has come forward to provide Ms. Attkisson with details about the operation.\u00a0 As a result of those whistle-blower revelations Attkisson is able to name specific individuals who were running the operation<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Former DOJ Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein is named as the person who was in charge of the operation; and the former head of the FBI DC field office, Shawn Henry is also outlined.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr. Henry is the head of Crowdstrike, a contractor for the government and a politically connected data security and forensic company.\u00a0 Those who have followed the aspects related to the FBI use of the NSA database to illegally monitor U.S. persons; and those who followed the DNC cover story<\/a> of Russia \u201chacking\u201d; will be familiar with<\/a> Crowdstrike.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the updated lawsuit (full pdf below<\/a>) Rod Rosenstein, as the U.S. Attorney for Maryland, was in charge of the Obama 2011 and 2012 operation to monitor journalists specific to Ms. Attkissons reporting on Fast-n-Furious and Benghazi.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

This is the same time-frame when DNI James Clapper falsely denied to congress about the U.S. government -through the NSA- collecting metadata on all U.S. electronic communication.\u00a0 This is the same time-frame where CIA Director John Brennan was monitoring<\/a> the computer networks of congressional intelligence oversight staff.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you overlay the new information from the Attkisson lawsuit, what emerges is the picture of an intentional effort by the Obama administration to weaponize the ability to collect electronic information on domestic political opposition.\u00a0 It\u2019s one long continuum.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is not acceptable government behavior in a representative republic. It remains to be seen what will be done about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
