I wonder how it is that the American people have not taken to the streets and stormed the White House? This is exponentially more egregious than anything Richard Nixon ever did and people were outraged over his actions. Here is the federal government - at the direction of Barack Obama - not only stonewalling a member of the media to prevent the American people from knowing the truth, but also illegally spying on a reporter, illegally hacking into her computer, and even planting evidence! After promising the most "transparent" administration in history while campaigning, Obama has delivered the most corrupt and criminal administration in history. He rivals the Clinton's in his ability to lie and in his frequency of lying.

1. A mysterious computer hacking

Early one morning at a time when Attkisson was reporting on the 2012 terrorist attacks in Benghazi, she woke up to hear her Apple computer making a strange noise. It sounded like the one made a day earlier by her Toshiba laptop from CBS News.

So she had the computer checked out by “Number One,” who she describes as a “confidential source inside the government.”

Number One told Attkisson that her computer had been breached. The origin: a “sophisticated entity that used commercial, nonattributable spyware that’s proprietary to a government agency: either the CIA, FBI, the Defense Intelligence Agency or the National Security Agency.”

At one point, an intruder or intruders obtained Attkisson’s Skype handle and password, and activated the audio–making “heavy use of it, presumably as a listening tool.”

Number One also found three classified documents buried on her computer. Attkisson writes that she had no idea they were there.

“Why?” Attkisson asks. “To frame me?”

Her computer troubles don’t end there. While preparing for an interview with Thomas Pickering, who served as chairman of the Benghazi Accountability Review Board, she watched as data began disappearing before her eyes, “deleted line by line in a split second.”

Don Allison, a security specialist at Kore Logic, examined Attkisson’s iMac and found “key evidence of a government computer connection” to her computer.

2. An extra fiber-optic line.

Besides the computers, Attkisson ran into problems with her telephones, television and alarm system — all run on Verizon’s FiOS system.

She enlisted the help of “Jeff” to determine what was wrong with her phones and computers. He looked around the outside of her house and something caught his eye: Dangling from the FiOS box affixed to a brick wall was a stray fiber-optic line used to download data and send it away.

Attkisson took a picture of the cable and called Verizon, whose customer service reps said they didn’t install it. Verizon instructed the reporter to report it to police, then called back to tell her they wanted to look themselves.

“That shouldn’t be there,” said the technician who visited Attkisson’s home on New Year’s Day.

Attkisson had the Verizon employee leave the cable on top of the air-conditioning fan. Several days later, she asked her husband to go get it. The cable was gone.

This isn't the least bit surprising considering everything Barack Obama did was in the shadows - hidden from the public he needed to elect him:

It’s not often that civil liberties advocates—along with other advocacy groups like the Sierra Club and Doctors Without Borders—find themselves on the same side of an issue as President Trump. But digital privacy and rights groups roundly criticized the TPP for restricting the freedom of information and lambasted what they say was the lack of transparency in the drafting of the deal. “The TPP would have been a bad deal for digital rights, so we welcome its demise,” says Jeremy Malcolm, senior global policy analyst at the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
