79. What I want to ask the Judiciary Comittee witnesses:
Is it theoretically possible that a president .. any president .. can use his authority to create a classified program with a perfectly legitimate-sounding facade, but is really used in a bad way?

not whether THIS president is. whether it's theoretically possible to do so.

If so---

Who is the check on that power? Who is supposed to stop it?


And given the evidence, can we count the ways in which this president can be shown to be acting completely on the up-and-up?

Once you admit it's possible, it's very hard to refute that it's not happening.
