When it comes to telephone calls, every member of Congress has been briefed on this program.
With respect to all these programs, the relevant intelligence committees are fully briefed on these programs.
These are programs that have been authorized by broad bipartisan majorities repeatedly since 2006.
And at the outset it's important to understand that your duly elected representatives have been consistently informed on exactly what we're doing.
The apparatus of the Obama administration's NSA tentacles apparently have zero boundaries.
After spying on journalists, foreign dignitaries, and the average Joe, it has finally now come to light that Obama and company have been spying on Congress itself.
I'm appalled by when we listen in on foreigners' conversation when they're talking to Americans.
We're scooping up tens of thousands of conversations of Americans.
This is a real problem because it's a real invasion of our privacy.
At this point, it wouldn't surprise anyone if funeral arrangements for the Fourth Amendment were announced within the next few days.
Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?
No, sir.
It does not.
Not wittingly.
As the communications of allies such as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were monitored, so were their interactions with U.S.
members of Congress, as well as American private interest groups, with links to the foreign leaders.
One unnamed U.S.
official revealed to the Wall Street Journal that the practice raised fears.
Oh, sh**!
The executive branch would be accused of spying on Congress.
The Obama administration were wary of this and so simply allowed the NSA to decide what to share without making any specific requests.
We didn't say do it, a senior US official said.
We didn't say don't do it.
You can see how it would stifle speech if you're going to eavesdrop on congressmen and that it might stifle what they say or who they communicate with.
We absolutely need more controls on the NSA and more controls on our intelligence agencies.
Forget controls, Senator Paul.
We need heads to roll.
And where is the President during this unprecedented breach of the Constitution?
If you hadn't noticed, President Obama is down in Hawaii on an extended two-plus-week vacation that is costing taxpayers no less than $470,000 per day.
Once Obama finally leaves office, if he does, he will have spent nearly $70 million of taxpayer money on just 7 Hawaiian vacations alone.
The last time I checked, the President's annual salary was $400,000 per year.
With a $50,000 annual expense account and $19,000 for entertainment.
When did anybody agree to fund $70 million of taxpayer money so that our thief and chief could live like a billionaire and focus on the new Star Wars film while putting his toes in the sand and simultaneously destroying our founding principles?
Early this morning a House panel hastily announced it had opened an investigation into the overreaching intelligence collection of Congress.
Can you hear that sound?
That's the sound of Tricky Dick rolling in his grave.
I have never profited, never profited from public service.
I've earned every cent.
I welcome this kind of examination because people have got to know whether or not their president's a crook.
Well I'm not a crook.
I've earned everything I've got.
John Bowne for InfoWars.com General what do you think about the FBI saying that there
is a terror alert on Monday about a potential for a hoax situation?
The police are shoving people, shoving Alex, shoving the crowd.
Here we go, folks, I'm being a sergeant!
Whether it's the radio show, the news websites, documentary films, or the nightly news, InfoWars is the tip of the spear.
Is this another false flag stage attack to take our civil liberties and put more homeless in security by sticking our hands down on the streets?
It's up to us to set brush fires in the minds of men and women everywhere.
And that's what PrisonPlanet.TV is designed to do.
You watch the Assad regime is going to be blamed or accused of using chemical weapons against the so-called rebels.
What we see now is a war against reality.
It's a war against the truth.
It's more vital than ever that supporters of freedom become members of PrisonPlanet.tv and share their membership with up to 11 friends and family.
