From the Zerohedge article on the Latest NSA Scandal
“the National Security Agency’s director, responding to questions from independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, says the government is not spying on Congress…. “Nothing NSA does can fairly be characterized as ‘spying on members of Congress or other American elected officials.”
But as the recent Wall Street Journal article explains, new evidence shows this is another lie (big surprise) and the NSA does spy on Congress, just like it spies on world leaders, and everyone else it wants to spy on.
“There is much more in the full WSJ article, but here are the salient points: Obama lied, again, and despite profuse promises that the NSA’s espionage machinery would be limited, nothing changed. It is safe to assume that nothing has changed to this day despite further lies from the administration to the contrary.
One thing that is different this time, however, from all previous administration lies is that now Congress may have no choice but to retaliate against the executive branch’s illegal snooping. Ironically, none other than Former Chairman House Intelligence Committee, Pete Hoekstra, a person who had been most vocal in his support of the NSA’s spying on the American people, is most appalled as his recent tweet reveals.”
