Was there? Who went to jail for it? Did anyone even get fired?
James Clapper lied to Congress[1] about data collection, the only reason we even know is a leaker who can never return to the US for his "crimes". Meanwhile Clapper served out the rest of Obama's presidency and now has a cushy job at CNN[2].
If this "blowback", accountability is dead.
