FBI Reproved For Spying On Journalists

FBI Perv Robert S. Mueller

According to DOJ Inspector General, Glenn A. Fine's testimony in Congress this week, the FBI, headed by psycho, Robert S. Mueller, has been spying on journalists and bloggers in America, in violation of the U.S. Constitution, as the Judiciary Report and its sister site, The Sound Off Column, have stated for years.

Fine's report stated FBI agents, under instructions from headquarters, routinely lied to telephone companies to spy on journalists and bloggers, clearly with no probable cause.

However, the issue of the FBI spying on innocent people in their homes visually (hidden cameras, spyware surreptitiously installed on computers to access webcams, as in the Blake Robbins case that has now been proven true) and audibly (roving mobile phone bugs) needs to be addressed.

These thoroughly perverse forms of spying have been utilized by the FBI against innocent Americans, such as scientists, doctors and professors (who do groundbreaking research and patents) and journalists and bloggers (who write exposes or unflattering articles about the Bureau or their affiliates).

FBI caught lying to spy on reporters, citizens without court order

4/20/2010 1:05 - (Washington) -- Federal agents have been lying to get access to phone records that should require a court order, allowing them to sift through private phone calls of news reporters and other citizens, according to the Justice Department's Inspector General.

Testifying this week before the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, Inspector General Glenn Fine urged Congress to increase its oversight on FBI agents' abuses of a process that allows them to get phone records without a court order...

Obama's DOJ Engaging In Warrantless Email Scanning

U.S. President Barack Obama: Uncle Sam wants...your emails

As stated in the April 17. 2010 article, Obama Plays Scientist, the FBI/DOJ and NSA, scan and copy the emails (and computers) of select American people, without warrant, evening using their contents to compile reports for then President George W. Bush and now President Barack Obama. Doctors, scientists, professors, politicians, journalists and bloggers are often selected for this massive invasion of privacy. The Judiciary Report made these claims years ago as well.

Eric Holder: your emails are our emails!

One hold out was Yahoo, who engaged in a legal battle with the DOJ, to protect their users' privacy. The EFF supported them in this regard, as it is an unsavory government practice that violates the Fourth Amendment.

FBI Director Robert S. Mueller: what warrant?

The DOJ has officially backed down from the Yahoo legal tussle, but continues to unconstitutionally read the emails of Americans that use other email and web hosting providers.

In closing, Presidents, by way of the FBI and NSA, should not be fishing ideas out of people's emails. It is an awful, unseemly practice no one with any ethics could condone or respect.

DOJ abandons warrantless attempt to read Yahoo e-mail

April 16, 2010 12:01 PM PDT - The U.S. Justice Department has abruptly abandoned what had become a high-profile court fight to read Yahoo users' e-mail messages without obtaining a search warrant first.

In a two-page brief filed Friday, the Obama administration withdrew its request for warrantless access to the complete contents of the Yahoo Mail accounts under investigation. CNET was the first to report on the Denver case in an article on Tuesday...

EFF Backs Yahoo! to Protect User from Warrantless Email Search

April 14th, 2010 - Denver - The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) along with Google and numerous other public interest organizations and Internet industry associations joined with Yahoo! in asking a federal court Tuesday to block a government attempt to access the contents of a Yahoo! email account without a search warrant based on probable cause.

Your fourth amendment rights under attack by Obama, DOJ

April 16, 7:45 PM - I don't know what to think about the country anymore. I see things happening that, just a few years ago, would have been called "proof that Bush is Satan." Those same things, under this administration, receive little or no press. While we're all paying attention to Tiger Woods and his marital problems, or busy arguing about whether the Tea Party movement is full of "racists, homophobes and morons," the government is quietly working to take away our personal, constitutionally protected, GOD GIVEN freedoms...

The Dept. of Justice apparently believes that U.S. citizens do not enjoy a "reasonable expectation of privacy" with respect to cell phone use, and have been attempting to acquire the ability to simply demand user information from the cell phone companies without going through standard procedures to obtain a warrant for specific information on specific individuals for use in specific prosecutions. They are assaulting the fourth amendment in yet another case, asserting that "email over 181 days old should not be protected from warrantless search and seizure."...

Obama Cracking Down On Whistleblowers

U.S. President Barack Obama: stop snitching!

U.S. President Barack Obama is cracking down on whistleblowers that expose misconduct within his regime government. A former employee of the NSA, Thomas A. Drake, was indicted for leaking confidential government documents to a journalist, revealing criminal conduct by the U.S. government.

The FBI recently did the same regarding another whistleblower that worked for the Bureau. Because if there's one thing Obama can't stand it's a snitch.

Obama DoJ indicts NSA whistleblower…are you mad yet?

Friday April 16, 2010 1:54 pm - If you were mad at all about Bush’s violations of civil liberties when he was president, this will get you fuming:

In a rare legal action against a government employee accused of leaking secrets, a grand jury has indicted a former senior National Security Agency official on charges of providing classified information to a newspaper reporter in hundreds of e-mail messages in 2006 and 2007.

The official, Thomas A. Drake, 52, was also accused of obstructing justice by shredding documents, deleting computer records and lying to investigators who were looking into the reporter’s sources...

John Edwards Mistress Mad At GQ Over Photos

Rielle Hunter in GQ Magazine

Rielle Hunter, the mistress of former U.S. Presidential candidate, John Edwards, slammed GQ magazine for making her look like a trollop, during a piece they did on her for their publication.

Rielle Hunter and John Edwards' daughter

Hunter is being slammed in return, by political pundits, entertainment journalists and bloggers, who are in agreement she is the source of said embarrassment, for posing without pants and issuing come hither looks for the cameras.

Rielle Hunter and John Edwards

The interview was shameful, as it defended adultery, when she should be seeking the Lord's forgiveness for it. Elizabeth Edwards, the wife of her adulterer, whom she inappropriately and all too familiarly refers to as "Johnny" is the real victim.

Edwards has purchased his mistress a $1 million dollar home, paid her lavishly out of campaign funds for doing web work barely worth much, while his wife struggles with cancer and a broken heart, due to this betrayal of their vows. Hunter owes Mrs. Edwards an apology and should desist throwing their affair in her face, via dredging it up in interviews.

GQ Blasts Rielle Hunter: "She Knew What She Was Doing" at the Shoot

Tuesday – March 16, 2010 – 11:07am - GQ is blasting Rielle Hunter, who is said to be repulsed by the racy shots of her in the magazine's April issue.

Hunter -- a 45-year-old videographer who had a fling with John Edwards and gave birth to his 2-year-old daughter Frances Quinn -- told Barbara Walters that she thought photographer Mark Seliger would've used some of the "beautiful headshots" he took of her.

Instead, they used shots of her wearing no pants as she lounged next to stuffed animals. But GQ isn't buying it...

"Rielle is a smart woman," DePaulo added. "She knows what she wore and what she was doing in the photo shoot."
