CIA

Senator Diane Feinstein was investigating the CIA’s use of water boarding and found out the CIA was investigating her committee. Chairman Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) accused the CIA of ¬secretly removing documents, searching computers used by the committee and attempting to intimidate congressional investigators by requesting an FBI inquiry of their conduct — She then requested that the Justice Department investigate to find out what was going on. Her concern was the same that Speaker Boehner has and the reason he is suing The President. They both feel that the Executive Branch of government was infringing on the Legislative Branch. This resulted in the following: The most serious fight between the Central Intelligence Agency and Congress to erupt during the Obama administration went very public on Tuesday as the Senate’s top overseer of the CIA accused the agency of blocking an investigation into interrogation practices and possibly violating the Constitution. Since the CIA reports to the President and the Senate is controlled by the Democrats this did not look good for the administration so what happened. The Justice Department will not investigate claims that the CIA improperly searched Senate Intelligence Committee computers, McClatchy reported. Then what did Feinstein have to say about this decision? "I am pleased the Justice Department has decided not to open an investigation into Intelligence Committee staff Politics once again trumps country.
