He's admitted that they store all phone records in a secure place and they are only searched when there is a terrorist investigation. They do this so they can go back in time to see who the terrorist talked to.

I don't give a shit what this fuck has to say. He is a lying pos. He should be court martialed for crimes against america and the constitution.

Merkley is asking what lawful grounds the NSA has in acquiring his Verizon data.

Alexander is saying that they are only collecting data and not the contents. Merkley pushes back and Alexander says the DOJ can probably answer the question better.

Once you accept the notion that safety is more important than liberty there is ALWAYS a justification for expanding the police state. But in the NSA's defense, Congress TOLD them to do this. This is what the Patriot Act is all about. Admittedly half the morons up on the hill don't have a clue what they are voting for, but for anyone who supported the Patriot Act to now be shocked and dismayed is utter bullshit.

Senator Susan Collins, once again, proves she's a Parkinsons Douchebag... Did her(well prepared written script) best to marginalize Ed Snowden. She continued to push the FEAR/SECURITY state apparatus and of course her CISPA alarmist acting for the cameras and microphones. They are the biggest hypocrites in the country, on top of the theiven Washington DC money. Collins and her Lobbyist husband just bought an additional home in upper class white section of DC for over $800K.(fix-it upper)

If the shoe were on the other foot and Snowden caught OBL, Collins and this Kabuki Political theater klan, would be spewing accolades and promotions of the "YOUNG GUNS" future rising star in the security agencies. But divulge the whole rigged Stalinist government in their slave spying/dossier games on innocent Americans, (which violates the Constitution, Bill of Rights, breaks laws) the crony criminal politicians create this discrediting Snowden as a evil traitor.

These slimy politicians are disgusting, I hope the American people can see right through this huge CON JOB Public Display of Washington DC Bullshit attempts on twisting their fraud upon a savior of liberty/freedoms.


Ditto on General Alexander: He's top dog, bucking to maximize his O-9 pension, then after maxing-out that career yields out, he wants that yellow brick road, fat Military Industrial Complex and/or Washington DC $6+ figure jobs w/benefits-perks.
