Journalist Sharyl Attkisson is listed as one of the witnesses at Wednesday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on President Barack Obama’s nominee to replace outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder.
As The Hill noted, Attkisson, a former CBS investigative reporter who now contributes to the conservative Heritage Foundation’s Daily Signal, has implied that the Obama administration hacked into her computer because of her work investigating the 2012 terrorist attacks in Benghazi. She has also reported on the U.S. Justice Department’s Fast and Furious operation, for which she won an Emmy.
Attkisson and Catherine Engelbrecht, whose tea party group has accused the Internal Revenue Service of ideological-based targeting, will testify separately from Attorney General nominee Loretta Lynch at Wednesday’s hearing, along with a handful of other witnesses.
Attkisson resigned from CBS in October, reportedly over her frustrations with the network’s alleged liberal bias.
Someone on the committee should ask her if she knows how to vacuum the crumbs out of her keyboard.
Will nobody shut this harpy up? I’ve got it! Chucky T will use his well known agressive style to
put her in her place. Yeah, thats it!.
What in the world do these two tea bagging idiots have to do with Lynch? What does the IRS’s “I haz done been targeted cuz they asked some very valid questions”-gate have to do with Lynch’s confirmation? And Benghazi? There’s not even the remotest connection to the AG’s office. This is just bizarre.
Given this, I wouldn’t be so all-fired confident that she actually end up being called to testify.
Obviously, her name got put on the list before this story came out. So, I see its presence on the list at this point as more, um, aspirational than anything else.
Any publicity is good publicity. Right, Sharyl?
