This comment proves you're either completely delusional, uninformed, shilling or all of the above.

First; "Someone" == https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_R._Clapper

He is the CURRENT HEAD of National Intelligence, directing a PUBLISHED budget of ~$50 BILLION dollars.

The things he lied about are the CORE of this story, not "tangential" -- He specifically stated that the NSA collects "nothing" on US citizens, NOTHING.

Given this statement by you, it is clear you're completely deluded.

> On August 5, 2010, Clapper was confirmed by the Senate in a unanimous vote.[5] Lawmakers approved his nomination after the Senate Intelligence Committee backed him with a 15-0 vote. During his testimony for the position, Director Clapper pledged to advance the DNI's authorities, exert tighter control over programming and budgeting, and provide oversight over the CIA's use of predator drones in Pakistan.

So why is your beef with the NSA/The intelligence gathering effort?
