Then why would they say that they weren’t doing it, before the cat got out of the bag?
For the same reason Clinton lied, not knowing of the blue dress.
I’m not sure what’s worse: the lawbreaking or the contempt they have for their employers.

Meanwhile, IRS continues political targeting.
You KNOW the NSA is also doing political targeting.
I’ve got a radical idea. How ‘bout the spy guys spying on America’s enemies instead of Americans. I know it’s sound crazy and weird but that’s how I am.
And quite frankly, the GOP-E leadership is mostly to blame for this state of affairs because...
Flashback to 2011:
House Republicans renew press for Patriot Act reauthorization
GOP struggles for PATRIOT Act votes
Bachmann Votes to Renew the Patriot Act
They could have killed the whole thing, but instead, Boehner, Cantor, and McCarthy twisted arms to get it renewed for six more years.
Is it just me? Or is the propaganda machine that is the US gov failing miserably. Even the leftists I know don’t believe most of the crap on the news, especially from our gov.
Under 0bama there is no law anymore.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
"These are not willful violations, they are not malicious, these are not people trying to break the law," John DeLong, NSA director of compliance, told reporters.
Funny, I don't see anything in the law about 'willful' or 'trying'.
What a shame the corrupt retards are in charge.
They throw open the borders, then use the ensuing emergency as premise to destroy genuine democracy.
The VAST majority of NSA folks are current or ex-military, and they took oaths to protect the Constitution, and no one politician.
Do oaths MATTER..? Apparently they swear to things they don’t understand or are openly hostile to:
Would YOU swear to uphold the fable of the Great Skyborne Spaghetti Monster? Ridiculous to contemplate, but apparently that is what The Oath is becoming.
I asked someone connected with all this what she thought of Snowden:
“3,000 people died on 9-11 and the program makes SENSE..!”
There wasn’t mere emphasis in her voice, as she screamed —there was real FEAR of actually considering my question.
These people generally aren’t even CONSIDERING their orders —they’d slam shut the railroad car door on Anne Frank NO QUESTIONS ASKED.
It was her, “We didn’t know..! We were good Germans..!” moment.
Remember when people would say, “Hey, it’s a free country..!”
Ever notice how THEY DON’T SAY THAT ANYMORE...?!
Most bureaucrats like this are no different than most democrats, militant blacks, miilitant she-males, militant homosexuals or militant muslims and immigrants who are US citizens.
All (or most) of whom put allegiance to their special interest groups or special victim groups far ahead of any loyalty or allegiance to their country.
When there is a choice to be made between honesty, protecting the interests of the country, and honoring the US Constitution, or protecting their special interest group or special victim group they don’t hesitate to put the country last.
“These are not willful violations,they are not malicious,these are not people trying to break the law,”
Bull crap!
Whoever is in charge should face charges for every violation of the 4th Amendment.
“Legal” isn’t saying much. Shipping citizens of Japanese descent off to concentration camps was considered “legal” during WWII. That doesn’t mean it was moral or Constitutional.
” the U.S. National Security Agency went to unusual lengths on Friday to insist its activities are lawful “
Everything Hitler and the Nazis did was strictly following German law at that time.
