Sorry your honor, the dog ate my Senate Torture Report
by digby
The CIA inspector general’s office — the spy agency’s internal watchdog — has acknowledged it “mistakenly” destroyed its only copy of a mammoth Senate torture report at the same time lawyers for the Justice Department were assuring a federal judge that copies of the document were being preserved, Yahoo News has learned.
There are other copies and Senator Feinstein sent one over to replace it. But this is becoming some kind of macabre comedy. Now the agency which blatantly destroyed the tapes of torture sessions to keep anyone from holding them accountable says it also accidentally destroyed their copy of the full Senate Report.
I’m sure these people will all be even more scrupulous about upholding the law if Donald “I love waterboarding” Trump becomes president.
