CIA Secretly Intercepted Congressional Communications About Whistleblowers

"The disclosures from 2014 were released late Thursday by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa). '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,' wrote Grassley in a statement. According to Grassley, he originally began trying to have the letters declassified more than four years ago but was met with 'bureaucratic foot-dragging, led by Brennan and Clapper.'"
