Barack Obama
U.S. President Barack Obama and his CIA (Central Intelligence
Agency) has been slammed in a report by the Office of the
Inspector General, for giving Hollywood inappropriate access to
nation secrets, while making the Osama Bin Laden film "Zero Dark
Thirty." A FOIA request uncovered the fact the Inspector General
excoriated Obama's CIA over this misconduct that the FBI has
declined to investigate nor has the DOJ agreed to prosecute on
President Obama's corrupt orders.
The Inspector General's report revealed, "We found that the
records maintained by the OPA [Office of Public Affairs] are not
sufficient to document that entertainment industry requests to
CIA for briefings, interviews, visits, and other support are
handled in a consistent and fair manner and that engagement with
the entertainment industry is effective in furthering CIA’s goal
for engagement...OPA and other CIA employees have not always
complied with Agency regulations intended to prevent the release
of classified information during their interactions with
entertainment industry representatives...There was an instance
in which CIA allowed an entertainment industry representative to
attend a CIA event in which information classified at the SECRET
level was discussed."
Obama is always allowing Hollywood to break the law and as
stated in the column previously, it is going to destroy America
under the madness, corruption and criminality that is
transpiring behind closed doors.

Judicial Watch Obtains
Previously Classified CIA Inspector General Report Strongly
Condemning Agency Handling of Briefings and Interviews with the
Entertainment Industry
October 28, 2015 - Report specifically criticizes CIA’s
briefings ‘in which foreign nationals may have participated’
specifically criticizes CIA interface with ‘Zero Dark Thirty’
filmmakers
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it has
received a previously classified December 2012 Central
Intelligence Agency (CIA) report from the Office of Inspector
General (OIG) strongly condemning the agency’s handling of
“briefings, interviews, visits, and other support” given to the
entertainment industry. The report specifically criticizes the
CIA’s granting of “Secret level” access to the makers of the
movie Zero Dark Thirty. The OIG report was declassified in
response to a Judicial Watch request for a Mandatory
Declassification review.
The OIG “Report of Audit – CIA Processes for Engaging With
the Entertainment Industry” is critical of both the agency’s
procedures and its record-keeping:
We found that the records maintained by the OPA [Office of
Public Affairs] are not sufficient to document that
entertainment industry requests to CIA for briefings,
interviews, visits, and other support are handled in a
consistent and fair manner and that engagement with the
entertainment industry is effective in furthering CIA’s goal for
engagement … OPA and other CIA employees have not always
complied with Agency regulations intended to prevent the release
of classified information during their interactions with
entertainment industry representatives.
While the heavily redacted document carefully avoids the
disclosure of the eight projects it reviewed dating back to
January 6, 2006, it specifically cites problems involving CIA
interactions with the Zero Dark Thirty filmmakers. According to
the OIG report, “There was an instance in which CIA allowed an
entertainment industry representative to attend a CIA event in
which information classified at the SECRET level was discussed.”
The report then adds in a footnote:
CIA officials told us that the filmmaker involved with Zero
Dark Thirty was invited to the event so that he could absorb the
emotion of the event and that he was told he could not use
anything he heard at the event for his project. During our audit
fieldwork, the then Director, CIA called for an internal
examination of the decision to allow the entertainment industry
representative to attend the event.
The CIA Inspector General cites one project in particular
that was given “significantly more support” than any of the
others reviewed. Though the project is not identified, it is an
apparent reference to Zero Dark Thirty:
[W]e noted that the CIA provided significantly more support
to one of the eight entertainment industry projects that we
reviewed: [REDACTED]. Entertainment industry representatives for
this project met with [REDACTED] CIA officers (the majority of
whom were under cover) … on multiple occasions, including
meeting with one officer 12 times.
The newly-released OIG report also questioned the CIA’s
granting of access to foreign nationals who may not have
received proper screening before their briefings, warning of
possible “negative consequences for the CIA:
We also noted three entertainment projects [REDACTED] in
which foreign nationals may have participated in briefings,
interviews, and visits provided by the CIA. However, because of
the lack of adequate records, we were unable to determine the
extent of CIA’s support to the eight projects, the extent to
which foreign nationals participated in CIA-sponsored
activities, and whether the Director, OPA approved of the
activities and participation of foreign nationals.
Failure on the part of CIA officers to adhere to regulatory
requirements could result in unauthorized disclosures,
inappropriate actions and negative consequences for CIA.
[Emphasis added]
The CIA IG also concluded that taxpayers were not compensated
for the assistance CIA provided to Hollywood film projects:
CIA Has Not Been Reimbursed for Costs Incurred in Supporting
Entertainment Industry Projects...
“The Obama administration put Hollywood before national
security in order to help Barack Obama win reelection,” said
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “Has anyone been held
accountable for these illegal leaks? The Obama administration
put the heroes who killed Osama bin Laden at risk in order to
help make this film.”...
