The Honorable Eric Holder,

(U//FOUO) Some or all of the documents accessed by exploiting the security vulnerability contained the following banner:

(U//FOUO) This classified document was prepared by the CIA Director's Review Group for Rendition, Detention, and Interrogation (DRG-RDI) for DRG-RDI's internal discussion purposes and should not be used for any other purpose, nor may it be distributed without express permission from DRG-RDI or CIA's Office of General Counsel. This document contains classified information derived from sensitive sources and methods, which may include, but may not be limited to, HUMINT, SIGINT, intelligence assets, other US Government agencies, and/or foreign governments and liaison services, and must be handled accordingly. This document also contains material protected by the attorney-client and attorney work-product privileges. Furthermore, this document constitutes deliberative work product, protected by the deliberative-process privilege, and is not a final, conclusive, complete, or comprehensive analysis of DRG-RDI or CIA. Rather, it was created to suit the needs of DRG-RDI, in support of informing senior Agency officers about broad policy issues. While every effort was made to ensure this document's accuracy, it may contain inadvertent errors. For this reason, and because this document selectively summarizes, draws inferences from, or omits information from the sources it cites, it should not be relied upon by persons outside DRG-RDI.

(U//FOUO) At the request of the Director of the CIA, the CIA Inspector General (IG) opened a review into the actions of CIA employees who discovered the above information. On 30 January 2014, representatives of the IG discussed with the Criminal Division's Computer Crimes and Intellectual Property Section (CCIPS), information concerning possible violations of Title 18 U.S.C. §§ 1030 and 2511 by CIA employees. On 3 February 2014, the CIA IG's office issued crimes referral 2014-11718 to CCISP based in part on those discussions. The IG did not include in his crime referral any information regarding the potential criminal violation by the non-employees, deferring to the Agency to determine whether the information available met the standard to issue a crimes report on the non-employees.

(U//FOUO) As the Acting General Counsel, that determination was my responsibility under the MOU. As noted above, I have determined there is a reasonable basis to conclude
