House intel chair (Rogers - R) warns of penalty if CIA searched Senate computers

http://edition.cnn.com/2014/03/12/politics/congress-cia/

(CNN) -- If the CIA did, in fact, secretly remove classified documents from Senate computers during an oversight probe, there will be consequences, the chairman of the House Intelligence committee told CNN Wednesday.

"We're going to have to unwind this, find out what the truth is," Republican Mike Rogers of Michigan told CNN's Chris Cuomo on "New Day." "If someone broke the law, they're going to have to pay the penalty."

Rogers' comments followed Tuesday's accusation by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, that the CIA removed some documents from her staff's computers in the middle of an oversight investigation.

Feinstein said the CIA searched Senate computers last year because they believed the panel's investigators might have gained access to materials on an internal review they were not authorized to see. The committee launched a full-blown investigation after learning in an initial review that the CIA had "withheld and destroyed information about its detention and interrogation program."

Didn't they just admit that they did? of course then that was not "secretly" so I guess if they stormed in and tried to intimidate the Senate offices as being the criminals. that is OK.

Will he try to put the CIA in time out for five minutes?

Nobody puts the CIA in time out, nobody!
