U.S. Senator (D-Oregon), Member of Select Committee on Intelligence

Wyden continued 2: of the leaders in the intelligence community have not just kept the Congress in the dark. The Congress have been given inaccurate statements and in effect been actively misled. Tapper: Another line of defense by Clapper is they scoop up tons of information but it's okay because they have rules about how to access it. Now you’ve said there’s been a couple of issues with that. First, that the scooping itself violates privacy. But second, there are questions about whether there have ever been any violations. Friday

Tapper continued: intelligence officials acknowledged in a letter that there have been some violations. With today's declassified information, can you shed any new light on what these violations on Americans' privacy were? Wyden: I can't get into those details, but again I will try to add a little bit of context. First, those violations at the intelligence community, General Clapper, specifically referred to were violations of court orders, Jake. Violations of court orders with respect to the bulk collection of the phone records. So when you hear somebody from the

Wyden continued 1A: community say there aren't any violations we’ll point to that one specifically. Second, what was stated in the letter to Sen. Udall, myself and 24 other United States Senators, In my view didn't fully portray the extent of the problem. The problem is in my view significantly more troubling than was represented by the intelligence community.

I believe that any government official who thought that the intrusive, constitutionally flawed surveillance system would never be disclosed was ignoring history. As senators pointed out on the Senate floor two years ago, even a quick read of history shows that in America the truth always managed to come out.

The leadership of your agencies built an intelligence collection system that repeatedly deceived the American people. Time and time again the American people were told one thing about domestic surveillance in public forums while government agencies did something else in private.

Now these secret interpretations of the law in violation of the Constitutional rights of Americans have become public, your agencies face terrible consequences that were not planned for. There’s been loss of trust in our intelligence apparatus here at home and with friendly foreign allies and that trust is going to take time to rebuild. And in my view this loss of trust undermines America’s ability to collect intelligence on real threats. And every member of this committee knows knows there are very (real threats out there.)

Your joint testimony today blames media and others, but the fact is this could have been avoided if the intelligence leadership had been straight with the American people and not acted like the deceptions that were practiced for years could last forever. I hope this is a lesson that your agencies are going to carry into the future.

Wyden: About two dozen other Senators have asked in the past whether the NSA has ever collected, or made any plans, to collect American’s cell site information in bulk. What would be your response to that? Alexander: Senator, On July 25 Director Clapper provided a unclassified written response to this question amongst others

Wyden: That's not the question I am asking, respectfully. I’m asking has the in NSA ever collected or ever made any plans to collect Americans’ cell site information? That was the question that we still, respectfully, have not gotten an answer to. Could you give me an answer to that? Alexander: We did. Please allow me to continue.
