Is she really this daft? I mean, really, why does she think they can provide oversight of agencies whose purpose is to secretly collect intelligence, intercept communications, etc.? And, she relies on them to provide the information for their own oversight, yet sees nothing wrong with that?

So, she's shocked that some files were moved. Did it occur to her that she wouldn't have known something was being withheld if the CIA had never provided them in the first place? For that matter, does she ever wonder if perhaps massive amounts of information are routinely withheld?

Strong whistleblower laws are quite possibly the only true means of effective oversight. Yet, she seems to be too busy calling Snowden a traitor to consider that salient point.
