Episode 14: When Intelligence Was Bipartisan

More than 40 years ago Congress undertook two major investigations into the nation’s intelligence agencies – the House investigation became a political train wreck, while the Senate investigation, led by Idaho Democrat Frank Church, helped create the modern system of intelligence oversight. “When Intelligence was Bipartisan” revisits the Church Committee investigation with some of those involved, with Church’s biographer, Rod Gramer, and with Professor Jennifer Kibbe, an expert on Congressional oversight of the nation’s intelligence services.
