CIA Interrogation Tapes and Judicial Immunity

Federal Judge Alvin Hellerstein declined to find the CIA in contempt for destroying videotapes of 9/11 detainee interrogations. The judge concluded that penalizing the agency would serve no beneficial purpose. The hosts interpret this as a sign of the intelligence community's untouchable status due to their control over the drone program.
