An internal investigation by the C.I.A. has found that its officers penetrated a computer network used by the Senate Intelligence Committee in preparing its damning report on the C.I.A.s detention and interrogation program.
The report by the agencys inspector general also found that C.I.A. officers read the emails of the Senate investigators and sent a criminal referral to the Justice Department based on false information, according to a summary of findings made public on Thursday. One official with knowledge of the reports conclusions said the investigation also discovered that the officers created a false online identity to gain access on more than one occasion to computers used by the committee staff.
The inspector generals account of how the C.I.A. secretly monitored a congressional committee charged with supervising its activities touched off angry criticism from members of the Senate and amounted to vindication for Senator Dianne Feinstein of California, the committees Democratic chairwoman, who excoriated the C.I.A. in March when the agencys monitoring of committee investigators became public.
A statement issued Thursday morning by a C.I.A. spokesman said that John O.

Sure, look into it and set up recommendations so it doesn’t happen in the future. So they got caught and now pretend they will do something about it.
Gosh, the CIA admits intruding into US Senate computers in 2014, extracting information, creating fake online identities to gain access, and making false criminal referrals, no doubt to hide their tracks.
But the CIA had NOTHING to do with intruding into the DNC’s computers in 2015/2016, extracting information, creating fake online identities, and trying to pin it on the Russians and Wikileaks to hide their tracks. Yeah.
FR and the GOP didn’t care back then; they don’t care now.
Hi.
Love him or hate him, Edward Snowden proved that Klapper and Brennan were/are liars and treasonous scum bags.

Thanks for posting this image. No doubt the press will never report this!
Another striking similarity is how the Nazis worked hard to control/take over, and even shut down many German Churches, just like many dem-zi governors are doing today in the USA.
