EPA Whistleblower Robert Beale, CIA Agency Embedding and Darrell Issa

Robert Beale, a high-level EPA executive, was discovered posing as a CIA agent for 13 years to embezzle over a million dollars in expenses. Representative Darrell Issa uses a congressional hearing to highlight Intelligence Directive 304, which requires agency heads like Hillary Clinton or Lisa Jackson to be informed of embedded CIA personnel. The scandal emerged after current administrator Gina McCarthy noticed Beale was missing from the official clandestine agent list.
