About activities of the committees oversight staff. Two days after the meeting, on january 17, i wrote a letter to director brennan objecting to any further c. I. A. Investigation due to the separation of powers constitutional issues that the search raised. I followed this with a second letter on january 23 to the director asking 12 specific questions about the c. I. A. s actions, questions that the c. I. A. Has refused to answer. Some of the questions in my letter related to the full scope of the c. I. A. s search of our computer network. Other questions related to who had authorized and conducted the search, and what legal basis the c. I. A. Claimed gave it authority to conduct the search. Again, the c. I. A. Has not provided answers to any of my questions. My letter also laid out my concern about the legal and constitutional implications of the c. I. A. s actions.

Concern about the legal and constitutional implications of the c. I. A. s actions. Based on what director brennan has informed us, i have grave concerns that the c. I. A. s search may well have violated the separation of powers principles embodied in the United States constitution, including the speech and debate clause. It may have undermined the constitutional framework essential to effective congressional oversight of intelligence activities or any other government function. I have asked for an apology, and a recognition that this c. I. A. Search of computers used by its Oversight Committee was inappropriate. I have received neither.
