This is just too good!

 

This morning, Senator Dianne Feinstein finally got angry over the abusive practices of the intelligence community that she oversees as head of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Historically, of course, Feinstein has used her role of "oversight" to actually do everything possible to protect and defend the various intelligence organizations. However, as we've been discussing, Feinstein has wanted to declassify and publish an apparently devastating $40 million 6,300 page report detailing how the CIA's torture program was a complete disaster. The CIA has been fighting hard against this, and in the last few weeks, it came out that the CIA also spied on Senate staffers who were working on the report, after they'd uncovered an internal CIA document that corroborated the big report, and which showed the CIA had lied to the Senate. The CIA has hit back trying to blame the staffers for "illegally" taking a classified document, but that argument rings hollow.

Feinstein is apparently quite furious about all of this and let loose this morning about the CIA, claiming that they not only spied on the staffers, but secretly removed documents from the computers the staffers were using. She directly claimed that the CIA "may have undermined the constitutional framework" of Congressional oversight. That's not a charge one throws around lightly.

Double standards are double.....  I get so demoralized over everything government related lately.  :/

They just hate it when they get treated like an average citizen.

^I have to agree, Double D.

Of course they are going to fight like hell to keep from revealing one of their methods was a complete waste of time and money.

I had an initial post commenting on the theatrics of this, but thought better of it.

So instead i'll just leave it at this:

 

This is hilarious. She knows what the powers that be are capable of and was not expecting any backlash from within after witnessing and reading reports of the heinous things they are capable of.
