For some, the goal is to portray the program as a crime.
Only during the Obama administration can the leak of classified information about a legally conducted program lead to a frenzy of claims that gradually spin the revelations into something criminal.
The commentary and reports are becoming careless and terms are being thrown around despite the facts.
The administration was "spying on Americans."
Conflating the programs with Bush's warrantless wiretapping and illegal eavedropping.
The programs was "criminally subverting the Constitution"
It's spin aimed a convince people that the administration did something illegal.
