Just as I predicted, Nadler has recanted his previous statement after receiving a pep talk from somebody higher up the food chain. The people giving assurances that nothing illegal is being done at the NSA are the same people who have been in charge of overseeing the agency to ensure that nothing illegal is being done. Edward Snowden was in position to know exactly what was being done at the analyst level.

If Snowden has been telling the truth, then there will be some new faces on the intelligence committees next year, if not sooner. I find it very strange that a partisan hack like Nadler initially claimed that the NSA told him that analysts have the same type of access to phone calls that Snowden described.
