Senate Intel Committee Blocks Former Staffer From Talking to Press About Oversight Process
The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence has taken the unusual step of actively blocking a former committee aide from talking to TPM about congressional oversight of the intelligence community. At issue isn’t classified sources and methods of intelligence gathering but general information about how the committee functions — and how it should function. The committee’s refusal to allow former general counsel Vicki Divoll to disclose unclassified information to a reporter was the first and only time it has sought to block her from making public comments, based on her experience as one of its most senior aides, since she left Capitol Hill in 2003.

As they say, read it all. Then, if this ius all true, how can these guys even make ANY claim to morale legitimacy? Thy are scrambling like cockroaches in a newly lit room using every scumbag trick in the book to even begin the discussion of what they have done and still do. And for what? A claim that they are “protecting us” while they are known to make “the least untruthful” statements. Snowden makes these guys look like saints!
