what we're hearing now is senator feinstein playing catch-up ball.e is very upset, at least ostensibly, that her people are being monitored. there is a crimes report out there, actually. arrivedmight german had this morning. i said, what do you think is going to happen? he said it will probably be a beer summit and will be smoothed over. >> on tuesday, senator dianne feinstein also indicated the source of some of the cia documents may have been a whistleblower. the internal panetta review refers to an internal review initiated by then cia director leon panetta of the detention and interrogation program. >> we have no way to determine who made the internal panetta review documents available to the committee. further, we don't know whether the documents were provided intentionally by the cia. unintentionally by the ca. or intentionally by whistleblower. >> mike german, could you explain what the significance is of diane feinstein indicating the source may have been a whistleblower from within the cia? >> sure. part of the issue is how the senate staff

feinstein source on this?15th, 2014, cia director brennan requested an emergency meeting to inform me and vice chairman chambliss that without prior notification or approval, cia personnel had conducted is search, that was john brennan's word, of the committee's computers at the offsite facility. the cia did not ask the committee or its staff if the committee had access to the internal review or how we obtained it. instead, the cia just went and searched the committee's computers. >> despite the fact that feinstein says her concerns are based on what cia director brennan has told her personally, brennan is rejecting the accusations. this morning in an interview with our own andrea mitchell brennan repeatedly insisted his agency was in the clear. >> let me assure you that cia, in no way, was spying on the senate. we greatly respect the separation of powers between the executive branch and legislative branch. >> as far as the allegations of cia hacking into senate computers, nothing could be further than the tru

>> senator feinstein said the cia removed hundreds of documents.the cia has not countered that charge. the one thing both agree on is that the cia did do a search of committee computers late last year, in part to find out how the committee may have gotten hold of this panetta review. so right now the charge of removal of documents comes from senator feinstein, but they do agree that the cia did take this step to monitor what the committee had been doing on the cia computers. >> is there a suggestion that the president knew about this? >> not at this point. we know that the president knew after the fact of the search of the committee computers, because in a letter last week from senator udall to the president, he makes a statement in the letter saying that as you are aware, the cia conducted this act. we don't really know at this point about president obama and what he ordered or what he knew and when he knew it and those things. >> there is also this. senator feinstein suggests that the cia was trying to intimidate, harass senate staffers who were

that is what set off senator feinstein this week. she said if the virginia did do this, they've not only violated the constitutional principle of powers, they've violated a law that prohibits snooping on computers, an executive order that doesn't allow the c.i.a. to do this and they've upset their biggest champion, at least in the senate, dianne feinstein. that's where we are. amy: isn't it the job of the senate to be the overseer? >> yes. amy: how could the c.i.a. say, you can't access these files, these are secret? isn't everything open to the overseer? >> well, that's the argument that feinstein and her colleagues have been making. all of this is leading up to what we expect will be eventually the release of a 6,000-page report that they've been working on since 2009. it's cost taxpayers $50 million to put this thing together. feinstein obviously eager to do it. and release of it may be coming at some point soon. the c.i.a. has received a draft copy of it, had some very serious concerns with it, has sent those back. and after they

i thought senator feinstein's comments were bold and brave in my opinion. >> e.j. there's another clue in here about what cia director brennan might be doing in his denial that they in any way invaded senate computers. saxby chambliss says no forensics have been run on the cia computers, he calls them. he calls them cia computers. he says or, what my fol legal, meaning feinstein, refer to as the ssci computers meaning the senate committee's computer. the cia set up these computers for the committee so they would have intense security aerpd this material, but they were to be considered senate computers. and it seems that saxby chambliss any way does not consider them senate computers and therefore there could not have been an invasion of senate computers if they were cia computers. >> i think you put it very well, they made a deal, feinstein was very clear about this. and she talked about the document that was signed by the committee chair and vice chair and leon panetta that this computer was to be regarded as a senate computer, the cia wasn't going to mess with it

senator feinstein pointedly referred to the episode in 2005 when the c.i.a. destroyed a number of interrogation video tapes showing these methods like water boarding. basically she was saying how could we know that they weren't going to do it again. >> rose: what do we know was in the panetta review? what was there? >> what we think the panetta review is, was a series, is a series of sort of memo that are summarizing the documents. so as soon as the c.i.a. gave millions of documents over to the senate intelligence committee, then director of the cia leon panetta says as we're giving these dump to the committee we should know what's in them. there was an effort to document through a series of memos what is in these, what is in this massive data dump. and what the committee has said is that some of what's in the panetta review is not only just summaries but also conclusions saying you know, that not only criticizing the interrogation methods but also being very critical about the information or lack thereof that was gained from these interrogation methods. whic

as we heard feinstein accusing the cia of acting inappropriately.ionally and criminally. cia responds that the committee itself had criminally or unconstitutionally stolen what were copied report of the cia itself, the so-called panetta report, stashed it over in the hart office building illegally as well. the cia denies -- i mean, we saw the head of the cia says in the end will be shown to be okay. feinstein says that the cia actually confessed that it had done this and apologized. and then changed its mind and blamed the white house, another democratically run institution. what i like the best about this, is that lindsey graham, a republican, comes upon the brawl, and he says that if true the congress should declare war on the cia. interestingly, we haven't declared war on anybody, since pearl harbor. lindsey comes across the fight and he hands out molotov cocktails to all the participants. you have got to love that guy. >> it was something to watch. >> it was really amazing. this is not a partisan battle. this is a very complex bit of warfare. ha

this is according to senator feinstein.he cia at first misled the senate staff about what happened to these documents, including telling them that they had been withdrawn at the orders of the white house, which denied it had ever done so. -- senatehe cia committee staff finds in their , copies of summaries that were part of what was known as the panetta review. it was an internal review by a team of cia analysts of the documents that were being given to the senate staff. apparently, in the summaries, they were personal notes of these analysts about the contents of the documents they were reviewing. in these personal notes, according to senator feinstein and other members of the committee, these analysts were essentially concurring with what eventually were the key findings of the report that the senate committee produced. produce veryues little intelligence that was useful at all in tracking down al qaeda. the cia then misled both the bush administration and congress about the efficacy of these methods. the staff have these

>> i think senator feinstein laid that out in a very straightforward manner.ncerned about is whether or not the agency is going to understand what the president of the united states said and that is vigorous oversight is necessary and in fact the constitution speaks to it. we've got to be able to do that and that's the bottom line. >> edward snowden pointed out what he considers to be hypocrisy by senator feinstein calling this a constitutional issue. he believes that feinstein thinks it's a scandal only when it happens to a politician. what do you say to edward snowden? >> my view is that this is a part of a pattern by the intelligence leadership. we saw, for example, keith alexander say we don't hold data on u.s. citizens. i consider that to be one of the most false statements that's been made about it. and today it looks like to me, once again, that we're going to face the question, will the committee be able to do its job, which is vigorous oversight. >> what do you think needs to happen, senator? does john brennen need to lose his job over this? >> what h

. >>> striking accusations against the cia from senator dianne feinstein today. the senate intelligence committee chair claims the agency unlawfully spied and removed classified documents being used in the investigation into the cia's detention program conducted in the early 2000s. andrea asked the cia director, john brennan to respond. >> thank you very much for doing this interview. the senate intelligence chair dianne feinstein went to the senate floor today and accused the cia under your leadership of a potentially illegal and unconstitutional search of senate intelligence computers to thwart a senate investigation into past practices of detention and interrogation, partly under your leadership then at the cia. what is your response to this accusation? >> first of all there's never been an effort by the cia to thwart the investigation. they have their congressional oversight responsibilities and we've worked with them on the past year on their report and look forward to working with them in the future. i know there are a lot of claims out there that the cia h

that allegation from dianne feinstein. but it is a question as to i guess your definition or popular definition of monitoring. what u.s. official -- we haven't heard the cia go into any details officially of what happened. but u.s. official says what indeed the cia did was what they do in every government agency, which is to maintain logs of the use of computers, they're mandated to do this. and when they caught wind that the senate intelligence committee staff had gotten ahold of a document they thought they shouldn't have, they went back into the logs that were kept of the committee computers, went back some three years and discovered that in fact the committee staff had gotten ahold of these documents. so was it monitoring? it does seem to be that. >> jonathan, let's get it down. how could they know the committee staff had access to a document they didn't want it to have unless they hacked into or somehow got into their systems, or got into one of the people on the staff? how could they have known that they had this inf

>>> breaking news, the cia is under fire today after senator dianne feinstein, accused the agency of secretly removing documents from the computer system used by her staff at an agency facility in northern virginia where the intelligence committee was working on an investigation of the cia detention and interrogation program. take a listen. >> without prior notification or approval, cia personnel had conducted a search that was john brennan's word, of the committee computers. i have grave concerns that the cia search may well have violated the separation of powers, principles embodied in the united states constitution. >> cia director john brennan had a chance to push back today at the council on foreign relations as our own andrea mitchell moderating the event asked brennan about those very accusations. >> as far as the allegations of cia hacking into senate computers, nothing can be further from the truth. we wouldn't do that. that's -- that's just beyond the scope of reason. when the facts come out on this, i think a lot of people who are claiming there has been this enormous spyi

and senator dianne feinstein did not say his name today, but "the new york times" reports tonight itkely to be this person who is officially the chief deputy general counsel of the cia which means he would be the number two in that office. the reasoning goes that the number one job in that office has been vacant since last fall, so it would make sense that this number two guy would be acting general counsel until somebody new could be confirmed to lead the office. if it is him, if that is who she is talking about, he signed off, reportedly signed off internally at the cia in 2005 when the agency decided to destroy those videotapes of those torture sessions. i mean, interrogations. same guy. our country must sometimes act in secret, or at least arguably our country must sometimes act in secret. we must have, for example, a spy service to spy. but the only way we can have secret government and still remain a democracy is if there is some part of our government that is allowed to oversee what the secret agencies do. if those agencies use their clandestine tactics against the government,

staff, met with senator feinstein yesterday. are you at all optimistic reforms will be made in the second term? >> i'm not so optimistic. i think the senate -- i think senator feinstein's recent controversy shows that this is still the unfortunate code of the obama presidency. that in many other places where they've done great work -- on gay rights, on questions around abortion and health care reform. but the question of national security, there's been too little change. many of the same policies are still in place. some of the same people are in place. without a clear break of the past, without willing to look back, how can we move forward? >> yeah. and as the president said, quoting faulkner in the past, it isn't even past, i'm pa paraphrasing terribly. thank you both for your time. >>> coming up, republicans were not exactly bullish on last night's special election in florida until they were. and the result wasn't a referendum on the affordable care act until it was. take-aways from florida 13 just ahead. first, a deadly expl

reports surfaced last week and senator feinstein has been silent on this issue since then. this is a pretty aggressive step for her to say this and she set this up as a conflict between the cia itself and the committee and she's defending her staffers, as you heard her say, from what she says are cia accusations that they engaged in criminal activity by accessing this document. now at issue, is an internal review of this interrogation and detention program, the george w. bush era program, that was conducted by then-cia director leon panetta, so the committee says they had access to that document as part of a searchable database that the cia provided to them. the cia, as feinstein alleged, hacked into senate intelligence committee computers to try and track down that document and figure how the committee got access to it, so you have two completely different stories here with feinstein really taking this aggressively public today. >> john brennan, the director, of course, of the cia said last week, as well, that there were no facts supporting this claim and even suggested at
