CIA Apology

CIA Director John Brennan has apologized to Senate Intelligence Committee leaders after the agency’s inspector general found employees had acted improperly when they searched Senate computers earlier this year, as they probed for information on the legislative body’s report on torture.

[...]

Agency spokesman Dean Boyd said in an email to The Associated Press on Thursday that Brennan had convened an accountability board that would investigate the conduct of the CIA officers and discipline them if necessary.

Of course.

Just what DiFi was demanding.  She is no doubt perfectly satisfied now.  Move along.

"Director Brennan apologized for these actions and submitted the IG report to an accountability board. These are positive first steps," Feinstein said, adding that Brennan's admission confirmed her earlier stated suspicions of CIA snooping.

Oh, wow. Only first steps, eh?

The White House in the next few days is expected to declassify the long-awaited summary of a Senate committee study of a CIA program that used "enhanced interrogations" and secret prisons to extract information from captured fighters, several officials familiar with the matter said.

Flashback:

“As far as the allegations of the CIA hacking into Senate computers, nothing could be further from the truth,” Brennan told NBC’s Andrea Mitchell in March. “We wouldn’t do that. I mean, that’s just beyond the, you know, the scope of reason in terms of what we do.”
