Nancy Pelosi says that Congress is afraid of the CIA

Here is Pelosi admitting that Congress has much to fear from the CIA.

“I salute Sen. Feinstein,” Pelosi said at her weekly news conference of the chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. “I’ll tell you, you take on the intelligence community, you’re a person of courage, and she does not do that lightly. Not without evidence, and when I say evidence, documentation of what it is that she is putting forth.”

Pelosi added that she has always fought for checks and balances on CIA activity and its interactions with Congress: “You don’t fight it without a price because they come after you and they don’t always tell the truth.

Why should she fear an executive branch agency unless she is also afraid of Obama? If Democratic minority leader is afraid of Obama, this is pretty firm evidence that the balance of power is radically out of whack.

Maybe, on the other hand, she is afraid of the CIA because Obama has failed to keep it in check and now it is a rouge organization serving its own interests and is hostile to Congress.

Either way, it doesn’t bode well for the republic.
