Eric Holder Accused Of Perjury In Congress Regarding Lying About Spying On Journalists Proving The Site Correct

 
 

An embarrassed and humiliated Attorney General, Eric Holder, is trying to backtrack on what amounts to criminal behavior, as he had illegally labeled Fox News journalist, James Rosen, a criminal spy, in order to gain court approval to spy on him. Holder was searching for anything he could find to destroy Rosen for engaging in his constitutional right to free press, via exposing government misconduct (particularly Holder’s and that of the administration). Self-interest was at play once again, as they’ve done this to a number of journalists who exposed crimes being committed by the government against the American people.

For years the Judiciary Report has stated the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Department of Justice (DOJ) has been illegally spying on journalists and people in general with publicly outspoken views (usually for political reasons) by lying about them in official documents, labeling them criminals such as spies or terrorists. It is the only way the FBI/DOJ can legally get court clearance to spy on someone under such circumstances and it is a dirty political trick that needs to desist.

When the FBI/DOJ does such things they become the laughingstock of the intelligence community, as world governments and spy groups know they did not employ the individuals who have been defamatorily labeled spies, just so the FBI/DOJ can spy on them for political reasons. What is basically amounts to is this: you lawfully wrote something about me I didn’t like, so I’m going to waste taxpayer money and investigate you with the hope I can viciously harass you and your loved ones out of revenge, making you shut up.

The worst part is when their unconstitutional investigations into the aforementioned law abiding targets gets nasty and personal out of nothing but revenge, as it so often does at the low brow agency. The FBI then begins contacting friends and family members of the innocent target(s), approaching their loved ones and friends with outrageous, defamatory lies, in bids at turning them against them.

FBI Director Robert Mueller and Attorney General Eric Holder 

They will state it is "a matter of national security" or "life and death" requesting the target’s loved ones and friends assist the FBI in trying to demoralize, harass and abandon the target they will deceitfully make out to be the most horrible person alive, all because some big wig in Washington didn’t like a piece they wrote for a blog, website or newspaper, exposing some truth they did not want uncovered.

It's called an abuse of power and they deserve to go to prison for it. "Your tax dollars hard at work" … violating the constitution. That’s called an abuse of power and they deserve to go to prison for it.
Holder now states of his disgraceful behavior, "I'm a little concerned that things have gotten a little out of whack. I think we can do a better job than we have. We can reform those regulations, reform those guidelines to better reflect that balance. I don't like that, because it means me as official who has great respect for the press, is in essence saying a reporter doing his or her job and doing that important job is somehow branded a criminal. I'm just not comfortable with that, we're going to change that."

A number of politicians from both political parties want Holder to resign, due to the mounting scandals that have thoroughly discredited him. However, law-breaking Holder states he has no intention of resigning. It is going to come back to haunt him, as more scandals loom regarding his behavior in office that was not in line with the law.

Learn from FBI Director Robert Mueller’s downfall, after strong-arming his way into an unprecedented and unwise term extension the Judiciary Report warned against (Failed FBI Director Robert S. Mueller Slammed By Congress And Reuters Exiting His Job In Disgrace). Then, two years later, Mueller was caught on the job during the Boston Marathon bombings, as having been the negligent fool that ignored a vital tip from the Russian government that would have saved innocent lives and spared nearly 300 people terrible injury. Pardon the pun, but quit while you’re ahead, Holder.

Orders To The IRS To Target Journalists And Conservatives Came Directly From Washington (Video)


Yesterday, IRS employees at the center of the current scandal for targeting journalists and conservatives stated their orders came right from the very top - Washington. The Judiciary Report already knew this, as when the site broke the story in 2009, my contact informed me the FBI and White House are behind the targeting, having set the agenda at the IRS (Congressional Senator Confirms The IRS Politically Targeted Conservatives Just As The Site Stated).

Regrettably, I fell under almost all the categories for targeting in this initiative - an indie journalist/blogger, outspoken critic of the government and a conservative. So, in short, I was screwed. As a result, my mom and I were audited three years in a row. Hence me breaking the story online in 2009 out of offense and anger at what had begun, because when I get upset, I write to get it off my chest, as I don‘t believe in violence.

As stated previously, the IRS retracted all their allegations against my mom and I several months ago and said we should not have a problem in the future. However, Congress needs to go after the big dogs in Washington who did this, as it cost many people time, money, productivity and caused distress and offense. People were being discriminated against and harassed for their political and religious beliefs.

Mainstream Journalist Who Is An Outspoken Critic Of The Government Discovers Her Computer Is Hacked By The FBI


Sharyl Attkisson

This is a follow up to the article New Scandal Erupts Regarding The FBI And Justice Department Monitoring Calls Of AP Reporters Confirming Previous Site Claims regarding the Judiciary Report breaking the scandal on the FBI and DOJ spying on journalists.

The scandal continues, as mainstream journalist, Sharyl Attkisson, revealed this week her computer has been hacked. Attkisson spoke to the Politico website about the matter, which states, "Attkisson believes the possible infiltration of her computer began in Feb. 2011 during her reporting on Fast and Furious." The "Fast And Furious" scandal involves Attorney General, Eric Holder, who is head of the DOJ, which is the parent agency of the FBI. 

The FBI has a computer program known as CIPAV, which is a trojan they surreptitiously and secretly install on select people's computers to spy on and copy the contents of PCs and laptops. It and other FBI trojans have been installed without court permission on select people's computers.

Recently a judge declined the FBI's request to install one of their hidden computer trojans on a man's computer, to copy then contents thereof and take control of his webcam to visually spy on him in his home (Judge Tells FBI To Buzz Off Denying Request To Hack Into Person's Computer And Spy On Them Using Their Webcam). During the case, the FBI showed off that they really don't need a court order to do this anyway and have done so in the past without obtaining one.

News also broke that the FBI and DOJ fought to keep secret the fact it began spying on Fox News journalists, via illegally hacking their emails and unlawfully obtaining their phone communications in conduct that is unconstitutional. The Judiciary Report is no fan of Rupert Murdoch or News Corp, two entities the site broke the phone hacking scandal about online.

However, under the Constitution journalists are entitled to free press and free speech. It's one of the founding principles of America and a very smart one. Therefore, to abuse the law to spy on outspoken critics is completely illegal and represents a dangerous power grab.

The granddaddy of all newsgathering agencies, the Associated Press, was not exempt from its journalists being illegally spied on by the government, which sends a chilling message. If the Associated Press is not exempt from its rights being flagrantly violated, what does that mean for the little newspapers across America struggling to get the truth out to the public.

The administration is testing some terrible legal waters the Constitution says it is not supposed to in conduct that is very unbecoming. When you've got the FBI and DOJ actively hacking journalists computers and emails and passing the contents on to the White House, crimes are being committed and the Constitution trampled. The FBI and DOJ's conduct is making Nixon era tactics against journalists look tame by comparison.

The War Against Journalism: The Government Targeting And Spying On Journalists Through The FBI And IRS Compromises The News


FBI Director Robert Mueller and Attorney General Eric Holder 

News broke recently that the FBI and IRS have been spying on and harassing journalists for being outspoken in their reporting, via matters that were deemed as having criticized the government. Over the past few weeks, the nation and world has witnessed as the government was exposed for using the FBI and IRS to spy on, intimidate and harass journalists from CBS, Fox and the Associated Press, among others, for engaging in one's constitutional right to free press and free speech. Newsgathering and reporting must be based in truth and integrity, free from harassment and intimidation tactics by an overly sensitive government, seeking to keep its unlawful secrets hidden.


Eric Holder and Robert Mueller

Journalists help keep governments honest by openly providing constructive criticism via thought provoking pieces, regarding policy and protocol. Journalists are also arbiters of truth, providing a public service that educates and enlightens. No thin-skinned bureaucrats sensitive to criticism and prone to covering up corruption, while being paid with taxpayer money, has the authority to strip anyone of their constitutional rights.

Confirmed: The FBI Spying On Journalists Emails Just As The Website Previously Stated

This week it was revealed the FBI spied in the email box of Fox journalists, James Rosen and William La Jeunesse. They are accused of no crimes nor have they been legally charged in any matter, but the FBI and its parent agency, the Department of Justice wanted to find out their  scoops and the identity of their sources before they publish articles and news reports. This misconduct on the FBI's part constitutes criminal violations of the U.S. Constitution.

This further confirms what the Judiciary Report has been stating for years (and since 2006 in sister site the Sound Off Column) regarding a story I broke first - the FBI is going to hosting companies/e-mail service providers and secretly demanding the contents of select writers/journalists/bloggers' emails: FBI To Be Called Before Congress Over Spying and The FBI And Mobile Phone Spying and Former U.S. Government Official States The FBI Is Spying On All Americans (Video) and It Has Been Confirmed The U.S. Government Is Spying On Scientists And Doctors In Violation Of The Constitution.

Journalists and bloggers all over America are angry at this development, as it tramples free press and free speech, which are guaranteed by the Constitution. However, I’ve been warning writers online for the past few years, so they can protect themselves and their sources (New Scandal Erupts Regarding The FBI And Justice Department Monitoring Calls Of AP Reporters Confirming Previous Site Claims).

The FBI is not engaging in this misconduct for national security purposes, but political ones to stifle lawful criticism of the government. They are also doing this to get tips and scoops to build investigations around, in order to break cases and look groundbreaking and ahead of the curve before Congress, when they go to the legislature to seek billions of dollars in taxpayer money.

James Rosen, the network's chief Washington correspondent, has become a First Amendment cause celebre over his treatment by the Obama administration. But the DOJ, Fox says, also investigated the Emmy Award-winning investigative reporter William La Jeunesse and Fox News producer Mike Levine.

President Obama Fires The Head Of The IRS For Targeting Conservatives (Video)

Oh, This Just Got Serious!


U.S. President Barack Obama has fired the head of the IRS, Steven Miller, over the current controversy, regarding the agency targeting conservatives based on political leanings. Obama fired IRS Acting Commissioner Steven Miller, regarding an upsetting scandal the Judiciary Report broke first, after being targeted by the agency, in conjunction with the FBI (The FBI And Ethics). The president branded the misconduct by select IRS employees "inexcusable." Congress is conducting its own review of the matter.

Due to items I wrote on the Judiciary Report, criticizing the government, my mother and I were audited three years in a row and sent a defamatory letter last year that brought the issue to a head, resulting in me informing the agency of my intent to sue to rectify the problem. Once again, the matter has since been resolved, the IRS retracted their claims and without litigation.

IRS targeted groups that criticized the government, IG report says

At various points over the past two years, Internal Revenue Service officials targeted nonprofit groups that criticized the government and sought to educate Americans about the U.S. Constitution, according to documents in an audit conducted by the agency’s inspector general.

The documents, obtained by The Washington Post from a congressional aide with knowledge of the findings, show that on June 29, 2011, IRS staffers held a briefing with senior agency official Lois G. Lerner in which they described giving special attention to instances where "statements in the case file criticize how the country is being run." Lerner, who oversees tax-exempt groups for the agency, raised objections and the agency revised its criteria a week later.
