on the SSCI side of the system and had been repeatedly acces~-had an obligation to answer the question of whether there had been a security violation or a potential violation of law that should be referred to the Department of Justice. Nevertheless, he ordered a
"pause" in th ork being' conducted' b d stated that it was necessary fu consult with the'WH on J:lext steps. Moreover, e expressed his intention to discuss the matter with Committee leadership the next day.

I repeatedly counseled the Director, as well d D/OCA, that it was unwise to ask the WH for direction as to a possi e c mvestigation. If the WH were to order the inquiry stopped, it could constitute an act in furtherance of obstruction of justice. At the least, it could be interpreted that way by Congressional critics and the press. Merely consulting with the WH would place the Director in a bad light, making it appear that he was politicizing a potential criminal matter. 'I also repeatedly counseled that informing Committee leadership of the potential breach at this stage would result in the potential targets ofthe investigation-SSCI staff-being informed.ofthe investigation, and would permit them to .. get their story straight" prior to being interviewed by Agency security officers or law enforcement, a practice that would not be viewed as appropriate by criininaJ investigators. I again recommended that the matter be placed under the auspices of the Office of Security and tbQs determine next steps, . be they to continue the review or to refer the matter to the Department of Justice.

Following these events, I received an e-mail on AIN fro nusmg my work, and asking me to come see the Director so he could tell me how much he appreciated my efforts. I attempted to decline, noting that it wasn't necessary, but!
insisted. c___ _ _J

At 5:.30 on January 16, I was asked to come to the Director's office. The Director said he understood I was concerned about events relating to this matter. Referencing the meeting on the evening of January 13, he said he could come off as "brusque" but that -he hoped he hadn't offended me. He went on to say this was a difficult matter, but he was the Director and had to make a decision about the proper way to proceed. He said he appreciated my advice, fully supported all my actions in this matter, and urged me to be proactive in coming to him with future concerns-directly if necessary, rather than through staff. I thanked him for his consideration in bringing me in, but noted that an~
discomfort I had concerning this matter was not related to his demeanor at the January' l3
meeting, but rather stemmed from a concern that I had not adequately or with sufficient force conveyed what I perceived as the legal risks iriherent in his chosen course of action.

He asked me what he should do going forward and I made three recommendations:
PI:ovid S with written instructions to cariy out a review of this matter using all available means at her disposal; and to arrive at a recommendation ''without fear or favor''; to refrain from further discussions with the WH until such time as the facts were knowri; and tO contact FBI to let them know of the potential breach-noting that the facts are incomplete and that it could tum out to be a matter oflittle consequence-but to inform the Bureau of the actions that had been taken and to accept help in conducting the forensic work if offered. The Director thanked me and noted that these all seemed to be

good ideas, and that he would pursue them. I again thanked him for his thoughtfulness. The CQnversation was cordial throughout.

Addendum re Feinstein letter of January 23, 2014

I share a few thoughts about Sen. Feinstein's ietter-in particular, it's most imJ)ortant implicit assertion, that the Agency is not.permitted to access the SSCI side of the CIA system for purposes of security monitoring and to ensure the safety of classified mareri~.

That assertion is simply incorrect. Throughout the life of the SSCI review CIA has in fact performed security monitoring and exerted compliance control over RDI Net,

. including on the SSCI side of the system. The Agency monitors the entire system .as it does all CIA systems, and SSCI awareness of this fact is reflected in the security warnings and disclaimers that SSCI staffers see as they access their side of the system. The security Qriefing provided to SSCI staffers makes it clear that such monitoring I to be expected.

Of course, it must be so. After all, SSCI has neve~ attempted to exert any sort of security protocols or monitoring over the system. To my knowledge, no SSCI security officer has ever accessed the system or requested permission to do so. If SSCI is right in claiming that CIA lacks the authority to maintain security of the system and its compliance with Agency regulations and applicable law, then we have created a system in which no one has that responsibility: Even the DireCtor lacks the authority to establish a system for maintaining extremely sensitive, c~sified doc~ents and exempt it from all security monitoring and compliance. .

. I

In point offact, of course, DCIA Panetta did not purport to do so here. While SSCI asserted the right to complete hegemony over its side of the system, the Agency did not accept that demand. The Committee cannot establish otherwise by repeatedly citing its unacknowledged and unapproved assertion of complete control. I am told that like many issues of contention between the Agency and the Committee (such as the ultimate ownership of the documents being provided to the SSCI, which the Commitree still claims should be given over for permanent storage on the Hill following conclusion of the Review) Agency leadership at the time chose to defer "open warfare" over the issue of security by not making it an explicit provjsion in letter exchanges between the Agency and Sen. Feinstein. But at no point did the Agency abdicate its responsibility to maintain security over the system-and my own view is that, in any event, it could not have lawfully done so.

Finally, and per~s of grearest significance, the "stand alone" nature of the system was only important, as the letter from Sen. Feinstein explicitly admits, "because it was recognized to contain SSCI work product." The preliminary audit conducted in this instance, which took place because there was a reasonable ba.Sis to believe that a violation Qf regulation or law had occurred, did not involve the review of any work product. It was

solely focused on determining whether CIA documents-resident on a CIA owned and operated .system, housed in a CIA facility and entrusted to CIA officers for management and security-which had not been authorized for passage to the Committee had been accessed by the SSCI staff. No substance was reviewed, no documents were moved or altered, and no substantive ~ormiltion was gained.
