I will tell you that three letter agencies in the US have a proven and undeniable track record of lying incessantly and basically nothing that comes from them can be trusted.
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 3y agoThis report is produced by the U.S. House of Representatives- not a 3-letter agency.

- 2OEH8eoCRo0 3y agoSo you are claiming that the NSA (at all levels) lied to the House Intel committee? That's a big claim, you should back it up with some evidence. Which part of the report is not accurate? Have you read the report?
- 93po 3y agoYou’re missing the point. The NSA has an undeniable track record of illegal and dishonest activity that is easily googled. Nothing has systemically changed since those actions and until it does there’s no reason to place confidence in anything they say
- didntcheck 3y agoIsn't it confirmed that they've lied under oath to Congress before?

- kcatskcolbdi 3y agoIt is confirmed they have lied under oath to Congress about the very thing Snowden blew the whistle on. So yes, they are perfectly acceptable sources of information regarding Snowden.
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 3y agoSince lying to Congress is a crime, who was charged?
- 93po 3y agoBeing charged with a crime would require the people who could charge him actually wanting to charge him. If congress wanted him to lie in the way that he did, clearly they wouldn't charge him after the fact.

[0] The heads of the intelligence agencies will say whatever they need to say to get what they want. Lying to Congress and the American people is business as usual for them.
