A leading US senator has said that President Obama knew of an “unprecedented action” taken by the CIA against the Senate intelligence committee, which has apparently prompted an inspector general’s inquiry at Langley.

The subtle reference in a Tuesday letter from Senator Mark Udall to Obama, seeking to enlist the president’s help in declassifying a 6,300-page inquiry by the committee into torture carried out by CIA interrogators after 9/11, threatens to plunge the White House into a battle between the agency and its Senate overseers.

If they’re watching Senators, I have no doubt they aren’t watching the right ones (like her).

Although American taxes pay for all of it, the CIA is not the people’s friend, they serve only to accomplish the goals of the NWO elite.

RE: Nixon wasn’t brazen enough to try this. The audacity of the Anointed One just may get himself Impeached.

When a Democrat does it it's like that tree falling in the forest but it never happened because MSM employees refuse to report hearing it.

CIA spied on Goldwater, FBI bugged Goldwater's plane.

Hoover revealed that in 1964 the FBI, on orders from the Oval Office, had bugged the Goldwater plane. Asked to explain the blatantly illegal action, Hoover said, "You do what the president of the United States orders you to do." William C. Sullivan, the bureau's number two man, confirmed to Mardian the spying operation against the Goldwater campaign.
IIRC LBJ and Hoover were neighbors when LBJ was Senate Majority Leader.

When does it end?

It ends when “Benghazi Coverup” Boehner Impeaches B. Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, a legal citizen of the sovereign Nation of Indonesia.

Until then the Boy-Toy Dictator Soetoro-Obama will be free to do whatever he wants to do.
