WASHINGTON — The CIA Inspector General’s Office has asked the Justice Department to investigate allegations of malfeasance at the spy agency in connection with a yet-to-be released Senate Intelligence Committee report into the CIA’s secret detention and interrogation program, McClatchy has learned.
The criminal referral may be related to what several knowledgeable people said was CIA monitoring of computers used by Senate aides to prepare the study. The monitoring may have violated an agreement between the committee and the agency.
The development marks an unprecedented breakdown in relations between the CIA and its congressional overseers amid an extraordinary closed-door battle over the 6,300-page report on the agency’s use of waterboarding and harsh interrogation techniques on suspected terrorists held in secret overseas prisons. The report is said to be a searing indictment of the program. The CIA has disputed some of the reports findings.
White House officials have closely tracked the bitter struggle, a McClatchy investigation has found. But they haven’t directly intervened, perhaps because they are embroiled in their own feud with the committee, resisting surrendering top-secret documents that the CIA asserted were covered by executive privilege and sent to the White House.
McClatchy’s findings are based on information found in official documents and provided by people with knowledge of the dispute being fought in the seventh-floor executive offices of the CIA’s headquarters in Langley, Va., and the committee’s high-security work spaces on Capitol Hill.
The people who spoke to McClatchy asked not to be identified because the feud involves highly classified matters and carries enormous consequences for congressional oversight over the executive branch.
The CIA and the committee declined to comment.
Caitlin Hayden, a spokeswoman for the National Security Council, declined to discuss the matter and referred questions to the CIA and the Justice Department...

Well, it’s a cinch that with the bloody-fisted Brennan now running the spooks, they are doing as they please, as a means to empower themselves and their oligarch masters.
Question:
Who do you trust more today, the agencies or the representatives?
+1 agencies.
When did they stop?
Surely it was for the safety of the U.S. Senate.
i’d be happy if the press would ask Obama just two questions:
what did you know, and when did you know it?
Brennan has been there a short time and I can’t stand him. But the people doing this illegal stuff are life long agents. I hold them responsible for not acting like patriots.
They had to - there was no accurate information available in America’s newspapers.

In other words....this was illegally leaked. By whom and why, I wonder.
The question is whether the Chicago Mob controlled or influenced Reid when he was the state’s Gaming Commissioner, or whether it was one of the eastern boys from New York/NJ.
I wonder what Reid knows about the mob-hit on Alan Dorfman, late of Las Vegas (two to the head) and car-trunked in Chicago.
Did Reid have contacts with Meyer Lansky/his gang, or his successor?
Land deals. Stink like a run over skunk left in the sun for a week.
How many visits to the Mustang Ranch?
The people want to know, esp. before this Fall’s senatorial races.
Hello Harry. Welcome to Hell.
Seems to me we have a solution, if only the cowardly Senate would participate and do it's duty.
People who believe that the intel agencies of the USA are populated by “patriots” who believe in the principles of the founding documents of the USA have to be some of the most naive simple minded fools the world has ever produced.
Imbeciles who believe that Obama “corrupted” this outfit which before was comprised of good noble minded citizens working to protect us from nefarious foreign powers are so frightfully stupid that it is almost impossible to have a conversation with them.
The CIA is a murderous, semi-rogue, illegal as hell organization which has left a trail of murder, coups, irresponsible and reckless and arrogant thuggery in its wake ever since its OSS early days. Lay off the Tom Clancy novels for a bit and look at its history.
It is no surprise that a punk like Obama would use it against his political enemies. What is a surprise is that supposed freedom lovers and constitutional advocates would be anything but bored at the news.
All the “patriots” that piss and moan about Putin need to man up and realize that we have worse problems here. And no, I wouldn’t like Putin running my country, either.

The Senate is controlled by Obama’s allies.
