Chuck Todd on CIA Hacking: ‘This Is Not Darrell Issa Making This Allegation’

NBC’s Chuck Todd on CIA Hacking Senate Computers: ‘This Is Not Darrell Issa Making This Allegation’ (NewsBusters)

Earlier this week, Senator Dianne Feinstein revealed that she believed the CIA had hacked into Senate Intelligence Committee computers. After Ms. Feinstein’s shocking revelations, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney was met with a barrage of questions from reporters on the subject, but Chuck Todd, NBC’s Chief White House Correspondent had perhaps the most bizarre and unnecessarily partisan comment directed towards Carney.  

Appearing at the press briefing on Tuesday March 11, Todd chose to use the opportunity to attack Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA) and claimed that “This is not Darrell Issa making this allegation; this is Dianne Feinstein, Mark Udall, Patrick Leahy, Harry Reid all taking the Senate floor, making this allegation about the CIA.”
