Question 3: Why did you deny hacking Senate computers?

After Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., accused the CIA of breaking into computers being used by Senate staffers, Brennan publicly insisted that “we wouldn’t do that. I mean, that’s—that’s just beyond the—you know, the scope of reason in terms of what we would do.”

But that’s exactly what happened. And according to a report by the CIA inspector general, Brennan had told unnamed CIA employees early on to “use whatever means necessary” to find out how the Senate obtained privileged documents, and had been briefed along the way. Brennan’s denial was such a blatant lie that members of Congress called for his resignation.
