WATCH: How the government is stonewalling investigations

Dated: December 7, 2020 by Sharyl Attkisson 11 Comments

      

Above: Former FBI Director James Comey, who was referred for possible criminal charges, but the Dept. of Justice declined to prosecute

The following is a transcript of a report from "Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson." Watch the video by clicking the link at the end of the page.

This past week, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committee took aim at unresolved investigations. Chairman Ron Johnson, a Republican, is preparing to rotate out of the committee's lead spot. He lamented that government bureaucrats have obstructed numerous investigations under the Obama and Trump administrations. I was asked to testify about getting stonewalled, as a journalist, and having been targeted in an illegal government spy operation that the Justice Department is still defending in court.

Sharyl Attkisson: We have to confront the fact that our intelligence structure and some inside our federal agencies have proven more powerful than Congress, the legislative or judicial branches. More influential with the media and largely immune from oversight, and after the most egregious violations, from prosecution.

Even the President of the United States, whoever it may be, plays second fiddle to this structure. And partly because the news media has dropped the ball, these players are unaccountable, operating in an extra-constitutional fashion that persists from administration to administration, meaning this is not a partisan issue.

Just one example can be found in the government spying on journalists and other innocent Americans. After an incredible series of revelations beginning in 2013, nobody was held accountable. Government agents initiated secret surveillance and subpoenas against then Fox News reporter James Rosen and Associated Press reporters.

Gayle King: Someone has been breaking into the computer of our investigative Correspondent Sharyl Attkisson.

Sharyl: CBS, where I worked at the time, publicly announced in 2013 that forensics proved my computers were remotely hacked and my work remotely monitored, and the CBS News systems were accessed in the spy effort as well. It should be no surprise that intel abuses continued.

When top intel officials at the time James Clapper and John Brennan provided false information to Congress about surveillance of American citizens and the CIA spying on Senate computers; all is forgiven. When the Inspector General refers former FBI Director James Comey for criminal charges; the Justice Department says no need, he meant no harm. When FBI Director Christopher Wray falsely testifies to Congress that there have been no 702 surveillance abuses, contrary to numerous findings by the FISA court and others; nobody says a word. The people responsible for these things, we're to believe, were confused, didn't understand the question, didn't understand the rules, didn't mean any harm, it was an accident. But those not on their team are never afforded the same generous benefit of the doubt.

This has caused a crisis of confidence in our public institutions. Among many, there's a lack of trust in Congress, the media, health officials, the Justice Department and our elections process. Now, even when Congress may be doing the public good, the media may be telling the truth, health officials may be giving good advice, the Department of Justice may be doing the right thing, or the elections aren't fraudulent, many don't buy the story we're telling.

The shift in how the news media sees its role in covering controversies involving government misconduct and corruption is dissected in my new book: SLANTED: How the news media taught us to love censorship and hate journalism.

    Sharyl,

    Larry Klayman had warned us!โ€”about obstructionist
    โ€œgovernment bureaucratsโ€ in his 2009 book :

    โ€œWhoresโ€”Why and How I Came to Fight the Establishmentโ€

    A few months ago, he had written and warned us against Barr.

    Our Marxian and bureaucratic โ€œB U R E A U C R A M E N Tโ€ (( my
    term for the post-Lincoln form of government, as the Founders/
    Framers gave us CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT, which Abe
    and his cohorts had wrecked!, by their war against self-rule )) is
    in full display, in this contrived HOAXโ€”for toppling Trump & Team,
    and this once-MERITOCRATIC White Civil Society.

    This Diversity Perversity is Applied Communism, Sharyl.

    Finis ?

      Sharyl,

      You seem to be flummoxed, a bit, regarding source CABAL machinationsโ€”operating from the bloody/savage time of Abraham Lincolnโ€™s reign, then thereafter (( copy my below essay, then remove it from here )).

      ROOT Cause of immoral people
      in the DOJ and the AGENCIES
      โ€”and throughout the land :

      The
      โ€œAmerican
      Communist
      Lawyers
      Unionโ€

      The ACLU (( I had coined that term, in order to bring more clarity to the SOURCE of the CABAL )) has successfully removed Americaโ€™s MORAL underpinning from the PUBLIC SQUARE, from the PUBLIC SCHOOLS, and from the heart of the CITIZENRY :

      ยฉ2000

      Minority Poverty Pimps Chant

      'No Justice? No Peace!'

      - - -

      Want Justice?

      Obey The Ten Commandments;

      Work Hard In School;

      Don't Use Drugs;

      Honor Your Parents;

      And

      Pay Attention To Your Nation's Political Course

      - - -

      This scribbler knew which ones of his fellow
      high-school classmates would become thoughtful
      citizens, and which ones would take to the
      streets in adulthood and demand an immoral
      "justice."

      Classmates who behaved, studied and participated in school activities grew up to become model citizens while those cut-ups, smart asses and know-everything thugs disrupting class and angering teachers are now in and out of bars and marriages (( if not jails )), using drugs, taking welfare, and ardently supporting their enabling Democrats in Congress (( Marxian Jews being the architects and driving force in the Democrat Party )), to champion the "poor" and keep them dependent on the state, retaining power and position by keeping money flowing to deadbeats, such as those
      tens of thousands of teen sluts humping their boyfriends (( or their one-night stands )) to pregnancy, parenthood, free food, free housing, free training, and free medical insurance (( Sally Jesse Raphael's March 13th TV program featured teen girls who had
      become pregnant by various immoral meansโ€”such as secretly punching holes in condoms to conceive a baby, "to love and be loved by," and while this sick socialist government funds their "independent" living arrangements )).

      Marxian Democrats Chide And Tax The Industrious

      Out Of Their

      Hard-Earned Money

      One of the more twisted slogans Marxian Democrats use, for chiding the industrious
      into handing over their hard-earned money, is: "No Justice? No Peace!," which helps you - you poor and disgruntled minorities -to keep assaulting WHITE CIVIL SOCIETY, to acquire more of what you want: free money, free food,free housing, free day care, free training, and free medical insurance (( the term "disgruntled minorities" includes the millions of ANTI-WHITE/ANTI-WESTERN poor flooding into America from all over the world, to get federal cradle-to-grave freebies )).

      Perceived Injustices Are Of Your Own Making

      What minority poverty pimps perceive as
      injustices are the effects of bad behavior:

      Want justice?--obey your parents

      Want justice?--obey the laws

      Want justice?--obey your teachers

      Want justice?--study history to
      understand the present and predict
      the future

      Want justice?--study hard to
      increase your knowledge

      Want justice?--join and practice
      a religion

      Want justice?--don't use drugs

      Want justice?--don't litter your
      mind or environment

      Want justice?--shun bad music,
      TV and movies

      Want justice?--volunteer your help

      Want justice?--avoid extramarital sex

      Want justice?--marry to have children

      Want justice?--don't have a baby
      you can't afford to feed, house and
      nurture to healthy maturity

      Want justice?--don't sneak across
      the border to steal an unearned
      place in America

      Want justice?--stay in your own
      country and work to effect good
      government and good culture there

      Want justice?--don't demand
      money from the industrious, to pay
      for the bad outcomes of your
      personal weaknesses

      Want justice?--defund the
      Democrat Party, which enables
      your bad behavior and drives
      the nation towards moral and
      cultural ruin

      Want justice?--fight liberals'
      liberalism, which at its core is
      Marxist/socialist/feminism, and
      means to entrenching evil
      socialism and communism

      Want justice?--engage peaceful
      attributes of good citizenship;
      obey the Ten Commandments and
      exercise your civic duties

      But Being Good Is

      So-o-o

      Nerdish, Prudish, Uptight And Un-Cool!

      Of course, that sounds so-o-o nerdish, prudish, uptight and un-cool to Democrats
      and their minority charges.

      Well, who is suffering and dying from drink, drugs, and STDsโ€”and, then, screaming for acquisition of an immoral "justice," as if they have no culpability for their bad personal/social condition?: LIBERAL DEMOCRATS!

      Unfortunately, the Marxian Jew-run/Christian-run government in Washington D.C. wrecks WHITE WESTERN CIVILIZATION by giving to you what you demand.

      Would that social conservatives reply:

      "No Virtue? No Justice!"

    Sharyl, thank you for your tireless and informative work.
    You are a blessing to our nation.

    I came across the web site below and know nothing about the individual, but she sounds authoritative.

    Do you have any information about its validity?

    Looking for my pre-ordered "Slant". Just finished "Fallout" - by John Soloman (investigative reporter). His verified accounting of Obama Administration failures and corruption through inept, inconceivably naievete and incompetence dealing in his actions with Russia and Putin's minions. Especially regarding his part in the "Uranium One" sale to Russia. John's book outlines the vast accumulation of wealth into the Clinton Foundation (Peter Schweizer - "Clinton Money") before, during and after her husband's administration) including her position in foreign relationships with enemies of U.S. ; formulation of the Obama Foundation before, during and after his administration ; highlighting Hillary's unpatriotic foreign intrigue during her tenure as Secty. of State and her "New Start" betrayal of U.S. interests. No end to their accumulation of monies acting against America's interests. Reading the last chapter consolidates their criminal actions in a nutshell. A MUST READ !
