You think Nadler heard the NSA witnesses wrong? He’s saying this is what the committee was told by the NSA people. What would be his motive to lie about this? If he’s pro-Obama he’s admitting this against his own interest, which automatically raises the question of why he would lie in order to hurt his own interests.
I don’t know what the NSA witnesses said and neither do you. So I can hardly make a judgement on what he heard or what he reports. And neither can you.
I also reject your premise that being against NSA now will hurt Nadler’s interests. Do you think he’s not going to get re-elected for taking his current position? His district hasn’t elected a Republican since the 1920s. Chuck Schumer was the rep in the past. The district went for Obama to the tune of 91% in 2008. This guy is safe no matter what he does.
