The Dept. of Justice says it has never "compromised" computers belonging to Sharyl Attkisson, the CBS News investigative reporter who on Tuesday said that her personal and work computers were under investigation after intrusions by an unspecified entity.

“To our knowledge, the Justice Department has never ‘compromised’ Ms. Atkisson’s computers, or otherwise sought any information from or concerning any telephone, computer, or other media device she may own or use," Dean Boyd, a Justice Dept. spokesperson, told POLITICO on Tuesday night.

Attkisson had told WPHT Philadelphia on Tuesday morning that "there could be some relationship" between the intrusion into her computers "and what's happened to James [Rosen]," the Fox News reporter who was investigated by the DOJ after reporting on CIA intelligence about North Korea four years ago.

Attkisson said that the intrustion into her computer began in Feb. 2011, when she was reporting on two stories that were highly critical of the Obama administration: the Fast and Furious gun-walking scandal and on green energy spending, which she said "the administration was very sensitive about."

Still, Attkisson told POLITICO that she was "not prepared to make an allegation against a specific entity" as said she would seek the advice of her attorney before making more information public.

You mean they missed one? I strongly doubt that! She needs to find a computer expert, and go after any hackers, if that is the case.

Compromised?

They misspelled "Hacked".

The Dept. of Justice says it has never "compromised" computers belonging to Sharyl Attkisson, the CBS News investigative reporter who on Tuesday said that her personal and work computers were under investigation after intrusions by an unspecified entity.

From the comments on the Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/erik-wemple/wp/2013/06/14/cbs-news-confirms-multiple-breaches-of-sharyl-attkissons-computer/) article on the incident.

Here's a possible avenue for the investigation but connecting some obvious dots.
 
Sharyl Attkisson is an investigative report for CBS News. She has bulldogged stories about the Benghazi incident where U.S. Ambassador Stevens was killed.
 
The President of CBS News is David Rhodes.
 
David Rhodes is the brother of Ben Rhodes, who is Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications in the Obama White. Ben Rhodes name appears in the released E-mails when the CIA, White House, and Hillary Clinton's State Department coordinated their talking points about the Benghazi incident. It was all because of a vile YouTube video, you know.

You didn't parse it enough...

"To our knowledge, the Justice Department has never ‘compromised’ Ms. Atkisson’s computers  ..."

It was the NSA...
