Hoekstra, Chair HI Committee Press Conf.Trashing Dems over NSA Intell
Advertisements [?]
Dems need to get out their quick with a Press Conference to counteract Hoekstra (R-Mich) Press Conference where he's saying any Dem on Intelligence Committee could have done something any time to amend or stop the NSA program. He said any of them could have met with the VP or P-Res. and expressed their concerns. He made fun of Rockefeller saying "he wrote a letter? If he was so concerned why in four years did he only write ONE letter." (paraphrase)

He's saying those in the Minority are not "powerless." He says they were all briefed and everyone walked out of the briefings feeling NSA was legal and there was no problem. He keeps saying over and over that Rockefeller did nothing so it was assumed he agreed with everything.

He keeps repeating that it's NOT a massive Spy Network and he blames the NYT's for threatening our National Security.
