Sinclair's Sharyl Attkisson Loses Appeal

Sharyl Attkisson claimed that she was being spied on by the Obama administration’s DOJ.

A court of appeals does not believe that to be the case.

A panel of the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 to affirm the dismissal of a lawsuit initiated more than four years ago by Attkisson, a former investigative reporter for CBS News who currently hosts a program carried by the conservative-leaning Sinclair Broadcast Group.

Attkisson sued former Attorney General Eric Holder, the FBI and others in late 2014 after supposedly noticing several “anomalies in numerous electronic devices” at her home in Leesburg, Virginia, including problems with her phone and computers.

She claimed she was being spied on over her reporting of the “Fast and Furious” gun-running scandal, though the Justice Department’s inspector general failed to substantiate her allegations and ultimately the suit was dismissed in D.C. federal court.

She appealed and has now lost that as well.
