CIA Spying On The Senate Went Much Further Than Originally Reported

After all of this came out and Brennan told the CIA folks to knock it off, CIA people spied on the emails of the Senate staffers. Let‘s repeat that. After Feinstein had already made this public and called the CIA out on its spying of intelligence committee staff members and after Brennan told them to knock if off, the CIA went and directly spied on emails. The AP is further reporting that „the CIA used classified „hacking tools“ and created a fake user account in an effort to retrieve documents the CIA believed the Senate staffers had improperly accessed.“
