Now, Susan Collins is asking Fran Townsend about the role First Amendment rights concerns - she is asking about the restrictions in FISA and whether they preclude investigating individuals.
FT: To the extent that there may have been concern about first amendment rights - there were other factors that could have formed the basis for further inquiry.
She goes onto cite the role of political correctness and the need to pursue the facts where they lead them.
All members of the JTTF have a responsibility to follow up and share info with Law enforcement per Fran Townsend.
JTTF = joint terrorism task force.
Senator Carper up now.
