Have *you* actually read Sen. Feinstein's complaint?

166. And you are discussing simply the physical reality of what happened in this instance and when.

The larger "gestalt" of the situation is this one:

Here is a Senator who has declared publicly that it is perfectly noble and good for the NSA and its illegal operations to have the "go ahead" to spy on ALL Americans, but now she is protesting when such crimes are committed by the CIA against her and her staff.

Your computer or my computer is mere fodder for the illegal meta data gathering done by the NSA that Feinstein professes to support. But her computer and that of the staff is not fodder for any alphabet agency to investigate.

So is her outrage real? Or is it a totally contrived event to make the public think that here is a dedicated civil servant who loves us having out freedoms?

Or is it some combination of the above?

I'd be willing to judge her outrage as being real when she starts harping on the many deplorable and illegal techniques utilized by the alphabet agency personnel. One example: how the FBI's officers entrap the mentally ill into the purchase, under their specific direction, of items that can be used for detonation, and then that personnel outs their victim and declares they have saved us all from yet another terrorist attack.
