Hey, whatever happened to Sharyl Attkisson?

[ck4829]

The former CBS reporter who must have fell down a flight of stairs and landed on her head because she got all far right wing and crazy, never a good combination.

I was thinking about Flynn and Russia, and what a reporter like her who had such a colorful opinion about Obama would think about this, and then I remembered this...

In May 2013, while still employed at CBS, Attkisson alleged that her personal and work computers had been "compromised" for more than two years. CBS News stated that it had investigated her work computer and found evidence of multiple unauthorized accesses by a third party in late 2012. The U.S. Department of Justice denied any involvement. In her 2014 book, she alleged that her personal computer was hacked with keystroke logging spyware, enabling an intruder to read all her e-mail messages and gain access to the passwords for her financial accounts.

In late January 2015, Attkisson appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee during a confirmation hearing for Loretta Lynch, President Obama's nominee to replace outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder. Attkisson's testimony concentrated on the Justice Department under Holder and was not related to Lynch's qualifications.[by whom?] As part of her appearance in front of that committee, a report by the Office of Inspector General (OIG) was released stating that "their investigation was not able to substantiate... allegations that Attkisson's computers were subject to remote intrusions by the FBI, other government personnel, or otherwise" and the deletion seen in Attkinsson's video “appeared to be caused by the backspace key being stuck, rather than a remote intrusion". "CBS News told the OIG that they did not conduct any analysis on her personal computer."

In February 2015, The Washington Examiner clarified that the OIG did not examine Attkisson's compromised CBS News computer, the OIG only inspected Attkisson's personal devices.

In March 2015, Attkisson and her family filed a suit against Holder, Patrick R. Donahoe and unnamed agents of the US Department of Justice, the US Postal Service and the United States in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia claiming to have been subject to illegal surveillance activities.

Well, now I am kind of interested, now that some outsider is President and has the power to make what Obama did known, why isn't Sharyl pressing for Trump to release this information? And whatever happened to that lawsuit? I honestly looked and can't find any updates after March of 2015, this seems like a job for the new attorney general, right?

Anyone have any ideas?

1. At this point

she's likely Victoria Jackson's press contact. Just another wacko.

2. Per Wikipedia...

she's the "host of the weekly Sunday public affairs program Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson, which airs on television stations operated by the Sinclair Broadcast Group."

I've never heard of it, but if I watch TV on Sundays, it's sports or "The Simpsons."
