in allowing Clapper to try to weasel his way out of the fire. She only asked the questions she was told to ask. Clapper inplied that there was a library of data (he didnt say who collected the data) that the NSA could gain access to. Ms. Mitchell didnt ask who collects the data and what kind of data and who has access other than the NSA. Clapper said he misunderstood the work "collected" from Sen Wyden, he thought he meant, "read". Ms. Mitchell just smiled thinking (let's go for martini's after, you buy).
