Can anyone confirm that DOJ lied about this, per the claim below from the infowars link?

*Note: On February 10, 2003 I discovered that not only was there a house version that had been covertly brought to Hastert, but that many provisions of the now public Patriot Act II had already been introduced as pork barrel riders on Senate Bill S. 22. Dozens of subsections and even the titles of the subsections are identical to those in the House version. This is very important because it catches the Justice Department in a bald-faced lie. The Justice Department claimed that the secret legislation brought into the House was only for study, and that at this time there was no intention to try and pass it. Now upon reading S. 22, it is clear that the leadership of the Senate is fully aware of the Patriot Act II, and have passed these riders out of their committees into the full bill.

S22 was introduced by Daschle. I doubt he'd let his bill become a means to carry Bush Admin proposals. Plus, I skimmed that bill some time ago and didn't see any of the stuff in question.
