  • The War Over The Report
    Dec 20 2019

    After the torture report was released, the CIA launched a campaign to discredit its findings. Then the agency went further — first, accusing Daniel J. Jones of criminal activity, and then, breaking into Senate computers to spy on members of the Intelligence Committee. It was a move that sparked a full-on constitutional crisis. 

    Guests: The New Yorker's Jane Mayer and Buzzfeed's Jason Leopold
