Conyers, Nadler, and Scott: NSA-Phone Tracking is Overbroad; Call for Immediate Hearings

84. That is NOT 'walking back' anything he has said at all. It is stating that he is glad the president

agrees with him that domestic spying is illegal under the FISA Bill. He also has stated, in his discussion with Mueller that Congress has been lied about when it has been alleged they were 'briefed and supported every decision made by the NSA.

He said that is false. Congress cannot DISCUSS those briefings which is why they have been silent, HE cannot discuss them and he wants the public to know that their silence on the briefings has zero to do with agreement. He CANNOT TALK about what he knows. So any public official, the WH or anyone else who claimed Congress 'approves' or even implies that, is lying.

And what he knows has caused him to ask for hearings and to my knowledge he has not cancelled that request.

Ron Wyden also knows what they are up to. And he has said that 'IF the American knew how they are using this law, they would be outraged'.

Bottom line, both Nadler and The President now agree, that collecting and storing data on Americans, is illegal under FISA.

But here's the problem while the President agrees with him, he has also acknowledged they are doing what the leaks revealed. So, as Nadler said, people are contradicting each other.

And that is why we need hearings.
