(CNN) - Rep. Peter King said fellow Republican Sen. Rand Paul owes the nation’s top intelligence official an apology after saying he should resign for “lying” to a Senate committee about a controversial surveillance program.
The New York congressman also said that Paul's comparison of National Intelligence Director James Clapper to NSA leaker Edward Snowden is "absolutely disgraceful."
"For Senator Paul to compare that patriot, General Clapper, with someone like Snowden, who is a traitor, who has put American lives at risk - Senator Paul should be ashamed of himself," King said Thursday on CNN’s “The Situation Room.”
"It's an absolute disgrace. He disgraced his office and he owes General Clapper an apology immediately."

I expect more. I’m from New York.
Speaking as an unceremonious defender of the NSA, I believe King’s brand of representation to be the cause of the alleged privacy violations. Neither am I confident that Paul’s intentions are genuine.
The Congressional show-trials are BS.
Vote out the RINOs in 2014!!!
If these insurance companies were worth anything they would just refuse to comply with fiat law, citing the administration with having no authority... but 1) they are all crony capitalists and 2) the law was written in such a way that the executive can do whatever it wants.
Easiest solution is regime change. More Rand Pauls in congress. Less quisling scumbag Pete Kings.
