spring wife's
also one more aspect of this node in a fact
just in a marsh the Michigan Republican
who teamed up with john conyers to define
the NSA's mass phone records collection in a vote that mister I think by about
12 votes
said the House Intelligence Committee
never allowed legislators outside the panel to see a 2011 document that
describes the surveillance in vague terms
the document a classified summary of the balk phone records collection effort
justified under Section 2015
excuse me 215 the Patriot Act was declassified by the Obama administration
this past July just Department intelligence agent prepared for Congress
before 2011 vote to reauthorize Patriot Act
and left it for intelligence committees in congress to make the document
available to their colleagues
supposedly according to a marsh
who said I can now confirm the house permanent Select Committee on
Intelligence did not in fact make the 2011 document available to represent
congress
meaning the large class representatives elected in 2010
did not receive either the now declassified documents detailing these
programs
I believe
I am in 2011
you would have had republican control
the house is that the creek ACS
rush Holt
a Democrat who the obviously did not prevail
in the Senate primary election in New Jersey yesterday
still a congressman who was a colleague
and a former member of the House Intelligence a committee
said I was not aware the document so
I am you had a couple love
leaders now simply didn't tell people because they were afraid
at the Patriot Act would not be reauthorized
if Congress had knowledge at this now I don't know
how many congressmen did or did not really have an awareness of this or how
many
shows to be ignorant have this
but clearly we see another example
I've snowden sleek putting pressure on house members now
because they do not have any type a plausible deniability
as to what the NSA and what the fis Accord is determined they can give you
