I always interpreted the fact that there wasn't a bigger deal made about SPYING ON THE SENATE(!) to mean that the order to do so came from someone far more powerful than Brennan. In a proper constitutional republic, that event should have ignited public hearings, investigations and a public debate over the role and power of the CIA and intel agencies in general.

My interpretation of the non-event was always that the order came from Hussein and that's why they were able to keep it quiet.
