The source said a “criminal report has been filed,” which begins the process.

...Fox News confirmed early Sunday that all members of the House of Representatives will be invited to a special, secure briefing on the NSA's surveillance programs on Tuesday. It was unclear if there would be a similar briefing for senators.

No sense in emailing the White House if you have expressed your feelings by phone or internet they already know how you feel.

"Congress should demand to see the records of what the government has been searching for in that data. If it turns out to be 10% terrorist related work, and 90% political enemy work, then heads need to roll."

Congress already knows. They are involved.
My new HERO is the lady from Alabama that testified last week. Her statement that Govt is out of control and that it happend on YOUR WATCH. Is exactly how I feel.

Only an observation. This whole business with Petraeus, the other general, and the two bimbo’s....ever wondered how that all got started?

Ever wondered why the President is briefed on almost a daily basis now with PRISM updates?

Ever wondered why those numbers with Fox News and that reporter got to be so interesting?

All the President has to do each morning....is meet the PRISM guys with the Justice Department in the room, and lead the conversation in a certain way where five days later....PRISM briefs him with the answer to his question, which the Justice Department then takes off in their own direction. The PRISM guys have no realization of how they are being used.

"all members of the House of Representatives will be invited to a special, secure briefing on the NSA's surveillance programs on Tuesday."

This adds fuel to the speculation by Clarice Feldman (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3029121/posts) and others that this whole issue was planted by Obama to take heat off the other scandals. Inviting the entire House to a secret session will make news, headline news. This will break up the other scandal news, and the media report will be "nothing to see here, it's all Bush's fault."

On Friday, President Obama said the Meta data did not include who made the calls or the contents of the conversations.

Pure Lies. He said the metadata did not include the contents or the conversations. He Did Not say that they did not archive the calls. Legal weasel words. Like BJC when he said "that depends on the definition of is". Lies, Lies and more Lies.

“It is unlikely that Yakov Yurovski acted on his own initiative and it has been documented that the order to assassinate the Imperial Family came from Yakov Sverdlov in Moscow and had been initiated by Lenin himself. It is also well documented that Yurovski had visited the Bolshevik leadership in Moscow, and notably Yakov Sverdlov, only a few weeks before the assassination took place.”

Who is our Sverdlov?

what are the odds the “leaks” will be attributed to GOP “conservatives”, maybe even the “Tea Party”

in order for the progressive agenda to succeed, the deck must be cleared for Pelosi’s return an majority leader in 2014

The entire US Congress will now be swallowed in the soft coup that began in 2008 ... and the Reid/Pelosi democrats will applaud their subjugation wildly

“This is how liberty dies...to thunderous applause”

Time for General ValJar (Valerie Jarrett) to take control of the internet in the name of national security, before even the lamestream media get too uppity

this isn’t about investigating the NSA’s domestic spying, we all know its Bushs fault (sarc)

This mass intimidation of Congress is about Obama’s handlers rooting out the disloyalists, finding and punishing whoever exposed the NSA’s domestic spying

I mean, even dingbat Maxine Waters knew what was going on, the administration building a massive data base on every American for political use, and she stated so, months ago

Meh thinks this onslaught of scandals has Slick Willy written all over it. When Hitlerly was thrown under the bus, the Clinton slime machine went into overdrive. The timing is just too coincidental.

Whoever the leaker is, the pecking order dictates that he/she has to be directly connected to the White House.

Now tell us that the President learned this from the newspaper, too.

“Congress should demand to see the records of what the government has been searching for in that data. If it turns out to be ......90% political enemy work, then heads need to roll.
******************************************************************
BINGO This needs to be done at the individual database query level. What was the query and who did the query. Where an “interesting” query is found to have been done by a particular person, like a laser beam check out some more queries by that person. And at whose behest were those queries made and to whom were the results distributed.

Hopefully, this examination would be done by folks who would not be deliberately obtuse.
