Closest any media (that I've seen) came to attributing the release to Congress is noting that DOJ stated (per the 11/12 DOJ press release) that "The Privacy Act prohibits the Department from releasing the full report publicly, but permits the report to be disclosed upon request to a congressional committee with jurisdiction over the matter, and this has been done." .. . and then - lo and behold! - it was "obtained" by various media outlets. E.g.: Report was "obtained by The Associated Press" (per AP on 11112) and was "obtained by NBC News" (per NBC News on 11/13) and was "was made public Thursday" (per ABC News on 11/16) and was "obtained by The Daily Beast" (per Daily Beast on 11/16). It was also "obtained" by the NYT and WaPo and others. "[Sen.]
