Senator Accuses CIA of Snooping On Intelligence Committee Computers

Posted by Unknown on from the ye-shall-reap-as-ye-have-sown dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Sen. Feinstein, head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, publicly accused the CIA of inappropriately searching computers used by her committee, violating presidential directives, federal laws and the Fourth Amendment. The computers in question were provided by the CIA at an undisclosed CIA location for use by the members of the intelligence committee. When the committee staff received internal documents the CIA had not officially provided, the agency examined the computers used by the committee and removed the unauthorized documents. The action has been referred to the Justice Department for possible prosecution." There were rumors of such a few weeks ago, and now it's official. Read the transcript of her speech.

    What's good for the goose is good for the gander, I say it's time to double-down. If she's so against it, she clearly has something to hide.
