In reply to the discussion: Jerrold Nadler Does Not Think the NSA Can Listen to U.S. Phone Calls [View all]JackRiddler
(24,979 posts)47. Ha, except when he described the actual briefing.
The briefing said, according to Nadler, that there is routine warrantless surveillance by NSA employees on American citizens.
The administration statement said, according to Nadler, that no such thing is happening.
Which Nadler do you want to believe? No problem, because the two needn't be seen as contradictory.
The briefing said one thing and the White House said the opposite.
This isn't about Nadler at all.

Exactly. It's good (albeit sad) to think of the world as a bunch of used-car salesmen.

Was that before or after Nadler said NSA can listen to our telephone calls?
