CIA Board Clears Agents of Spying on Senate
None of the five CIA agents who accessed the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee’s computers should be disciplined for their actions, a panel investigating the incident said Wednesday.
That panel, which also included former White House Counsel Bob Bauer and three senior CIA officers, found that the five CIA officers – who have not been identified – “acted reasonably under the complex and unprecedented circumstances involved in investigating a potential security breach in the highly classified shared computer network, while also striving to maintain the sanctity of the Senate Select Intelligence Committee’s work product.”
In a statement, Bayh noted that the CIA and the Senate lacked any formal agreement or understanding of what procedures should be followed while investigating a potential security breach. But he also acknowledged that the officers acted “inappropriately” by reading the committee’s emails.
