They most certainly do WITTINGLY and systematically collect records on millions of Americans and have been doing so for years.

Since you don't know what that word "wittingly" means, here is the definition: "with full knowledge and deliberation".

Those phone records didn't collect themselves. That was the direct result of full knowledge and deliberation by the NSA.

I think you would do much better arguing that Clapper lied for the good of the country because Americans can't handle the truth.
