Ed Morrissey:

Remember this from last month?  On the heels of the revelation that the Department of Justice had been snooping on James Rosen’s e-mails because of his attempt to gain classified information on the administration’s efforts on North Korea from a leaker, Sharyl Attkissontold Chris Stigall on his radio show that her computer had been mysteriously hacked.  Attkisson, who has reported on Operation Fast and Furious and Benghazi and sparked ire from the White House while doing do, demurred on the source of the hacking but said CBS News was investigating it.

Erik Wemple reported earlier that CBS has corroborated Attkisson’s claim, and that whoever conducted it went after her material:

“A cyber security firm hired by CBS News has determined through forensic analysis that Sharyl Attkisson’s computer was accessed by an unauthorized, external, unknown party on multiple occasions late in 2012. Evidence suggests this party performed all access remotely using Attkisson’s accounts. While no malicious code was found, forensic analysis revealed an intruder had executed commands that appeared to involve search and exfiltration of data.

This party also used sophisticated methods to remove all possible indications of unauthorized activity, and alter system times to cause further confusion.

CBS News is taking steps to identify the responsible party and their method of access.”

Attkisson took to Twitter to report the official statement herself:

What was going on in “late 2012″?  Well, that would have been the controversy over the terrorist attack on our consulate in Benghazi.  And, checking the record, we see thatAttkisson had a very interesting scoop on October 20th, relying on anonymous military sources that called into question the Obama administration’s claim that they couldn’t have responded in time to assist in the attack:

She DARED to speak Ill of “The Messiah”… so she had to be SPIED ON…. I mean, with the right clothes, hollywood makeup, etc.. she COULD look like a TERRORIST, RIGHT?? 😉

Obama is taking America straight to hell….

The thing that bothers me most about this scandal…is…thus far the rest of the MSM is still in the nothing-to-see-here…mode. When do ABCNBCNNPRPBS get mad??? Are they SO tied to the Obama regime that they think this kind of thing is ok if it helped reelect The Leader?

Scary, scary, scary times.

She is an enemy of the state… she also broke “Fast & Furious”. It is surprising that she hasn’t been in an “accident”.

it is scary and confusing to know they are still there to continue their evil agenda to destroy AMERICA FOREVER by promoting HATE AND RACIST RESURFACE attitudes toward the WHITES,
they are in power to punish the whites using the young whites un informed of their plan.
with their teachers applying their INDOCTRINATION to get the BIG DIVIDE TOTAL
so to be able to lead the PEOPLE TO THEIR NEW GLOBAL UN DREAM of taking over AMERICA AND
LEAD IT LIKE THEIR MUSLIMS RELIGION AND POLITICAL DESTINY

Remember:
Attkisson had a very interesting scoop on October 20th 2012, relying on anonymous military sources that called into question the Obama administration’s claim that they couldn’t have responded in time to assist in the attack.
Thus Obama had a leg up on his opposition.

Have those anonymous military sources been persecuted into early retirement since then?
How can we know?

Obama has sent out many others who claim there was NO Way we could have responded in time.
Actually one of them said we had and also had NOT ordered forces to stand down!
What a double-speaker!
