From page 13:

…With limited exceptions, we were unable to and did not investigate the conduct or observations of FBI agents regarding detainees held a CIA facilities for several reasons. First, we were unable to obtain highly classified information about CIA-controlled facilities, what occurred there, and what legal authorities governed their operations…

Couple of points:

1. Apparently, Junya and Deadeye won’t give the necessary security clearances to the the DOJ OIG folks wrt to the CIA’s detainee torture programs…again!

2. Apparently, the DOJ’s OLC won’t allow even the DOJ’s OIG access to the OLC opinions that purport to allow the CIA to conduct torture.
