The following is an excerpt from an article in “American Thinker.”
By Sharyl Attkisson
At least once a day, I find myself taking a breath and silently marveling over the outrageous fact that the Department of Justice continues to fight my computer intrusion case in court. They are spending your tax money to protect the guilty parties rather than hold them accountable. This is the opposite of what they and our justice system are supposed to do. They have not changed their obstruction and obfuscation over the seven years spanning this fight — no matter the facts.
They don’t have to. They have the upper hand. Realistically, there’s not much of a damn thing a citizen like me can do about it. My attorneys and I have expansive, independent forensic proof of the intrusions. We have a government deposition admitting the government controlled the internet protocol (IP) addresses involved. We now even have one of the agents involved admitting what he did and naming names.
But the Department of Justice has something far more crucial than evidence and facts. It has an unlimited flow of money, a grip on the information about the illegal operation, and the absolute power to protect rather than prosecute the guilty agents.
Obviously, the illegal infiltration of a national investigative journalist’s computer system, and the system of the network and corporation where she worked is a major story and an issue with important First Amendment and Fourth Amendment implications. Back when this all happened, the FBI opened a computer intrusion case listing me as the victim. But to this day, nobody from the FBI has made an attempt to contact me (the “victim”) to investigate or assist. They have a case yet are unconcerned with providing justice. (I only learned about the existence of the FBI case about my computer intrusions when I sued the FBI for improperly withholding information from me.)
The Department of Justice continues to fight me even after a steady cascade of revelations about its allegedly illegal surveillance of U.S. citizens. As I theorized on the front end: I was never the only one being monitored. I was just one of the first to find out through my connections with intel sources. As I have long said, my case isn’t important because it’s about me and my family; it’s important because the abuses happened to a lot of people. And until the Department of Justice truly changes sides and shows interest in prosecuting the guilty parties rather than defending them, the abuses will continue to happen to more people. (Continued)

Please don’t lose heart, Sharyl! You must feel at times that you’re going up against Goliath and with their comparatively infinite resources, you don’t stand a chance. We haven’t forgotten this injustice and we’re still behind you. And if they can do this to you, what chance we have? We all need you to stay in the fight and not give up! The truth will eventually come out in the end. Remember that David won in the end.
Sharyl. Keep fighting. I can’t believe what happened to you. Has America been overthrown? Is Trump aware of this? You are very brave. We support you.
The Administrative State is that part of the government which is independent from the will of the people. The are unelected “experts” who believe they know better how you should live your life than you do. Check out the Course Constitution 201 from Hillsdale College The Progressive Rejection of the Constitution. It’s a free course. and is a “must see.” It talks about the modern concept of government and contrasts it with the concept that the country’s founders had when they wrote the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
The DOJ is an institution and therefore has an instintual drive to protect itself, even when they are the problem
