Nobody should be surprised at this. But also remember that Congress NEVER holds anyone responsible for their illegal activity. Is Brennan in prison? Comey?
...In a press release Thursday, [Senators] Wyden and Heinrich said they were not fully aware of the nature of the unnamed program until last year despite being members of the Intelligence Committee.
"Throughout this period, the CIA has secretly conducted its own bulk program [redacted]. It has done so entirely outside the statutory framework that Congress and the public believe govern this collection and without any of the judicial, congressional, or even executive branch oversight that comes with FISA collection. This basic fact has been kept from the public and from Congress. Until the PCLOB report was delivered last month, the nature and full extent of the CIA's collection was withheld even from the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence," the senators said in a letter to the CIA director last April that was declassified Thursday....
When the top guy openly commits perjury before Congress, you can bet that the rest of the bunch is shady at best.
