He came out and claimed the NSA is not spying on Americans. That's a lie. Everyone knows that is a lie. So he's lost all credibility on this.

Obama, Clapper, Alexander, and Feinstein have lied.

Im sorry but I dont trust a damn thing any of those 4 say concerning the NSA or concerning the intelligence apparatus of this nation. And it's not about national security. It is AGAINST THE LAW and against regulation and against the 4th amendment for the NSA to be spying on American citizens on American soil. PERIOD! There is no excuses! It's not the job of the NSA to spy on us! That's illegal!
