Sharyl Attkisson runs down the Trump wiretapping story

Sheryl Attkisson, is an Emmy-award winning investigative journalist, author of The New York Times bestsellers “The Smear” and “Stonewalled,” and host of Sinclair’s Sunday TV program “Full Measure.” 

The media leaps to conclusions, when it suits them, and using generalities to get to specifics that weren’t said when it comes to President Trump, and yet also when it suits them they parse his words with such fine detail that you can’t even look at the big picture or the big story. 

Many people surrounding Donald Trump and other political figures and journalists were surveilled under the Obama Administration, not suggesting they invented it, but we know much about what happened under the Obama Administration, the emails, leaks and so on. 

Trump’s tweets about being surveilled seem validated with this new information. There were reports of multiple wiretaps or surveillance on at least a half dozen officials that we know of that were close to Trump, both before and after the election. You can come to two conclusions, you can think this was just routine business that our intel agencies were doing while they are busy cracking down on terrorism they were also watching all kinds of political figures. Or, you can come to the conclusion that there’s a pattern that lends at least the question being asked, ‘was there political targeting?’ 

Attkisson also mentioned that the Obama administration allegedly spied on her, and that there seems to be a pattern ever since the intelligence collection protocols were changed by the Obama administration back in 2011. The journalist has filed a lawsuit against the Department of Justice for the intrusion into her laptop about 2 ½ years ago, which she alleges involved a keystroke-monitoring program used by a U.S. intelligence service.
