Wyden: NSA violations are more serious than they stated

[libdude]

67. Let's see

the NSA and possibly other government agencies and personnel violated the FISA court orders, violated the Patriot Act, and the whole operation appears to be an infringement on Article 4, of the Bill of Rights? Clapper lies to Congress, President Obama has no issues, but suggests there be a conversation, on what? A series of program that are secret, that warrants lying and disregarding the Constitutional Rights of Americans?
What should happen is a appointment of an independent counsel to fully investigate these alleged violations, if evidence is found, then anyone involved should be prosecuted and if found guilty, imprisoned. Republicans attempted to create Watergate like scandals over Benghazi, IRS, etc. This is really an issue equal or more potentially damaging to the very basis of this Democracy, in my opinion.
