"routine monitoring"
The deep state is way out of control, it just violates the Constitution and the law with impunity. I'd say we have a pretty big fucking problem on our hands with this rogue power entrenched within our government, somebody better do something about it before it's too late.
President Obama’s CIA surveilled emails sent by congressional staffers pertaining to how best to protect agency whistleblowers, a release of previously classified documents this week confirmed.
The CIA prepared reports on the contents of the emails, which they now claim were read as part of “routine counterintelligence (CI) monitoring of government computer systems.”
Charles McCullough III, who served as CIA inspector general at the time, called the surveillance “lawful and justified.” Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa), however, told the Washington Times that the recently released report raised questions about the CIA’s motivations.
“The fact that the CIA under the Obama administration was reading congressional staff’s emails about intelligence-community whistleblowers raises serious policy concerns as well as potential constitutional separation-of-powers issues that must be discussed publicly,” said Grassley, who, according to the Times, has been trying to force the memos’ declassification for four years, but was prevented by Obama administration officials’ “bureaucratic foot-dragging.”
