"Has the NSA spied, or is the NSA currently spying, on members of Congress or other elected officials?"
That's the question Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) put to the National Security Agency's chief in a bluntly worded letter Friday. It seems, however, that the agency cannot categorically say no.

And there you have the last several years of our “representative”government.
imho
Spying on a classroom full of third graders would be more productive.
I don't watch TV much, but when I came across that opening I immediately thought it was propaganda/conditioning — I think that was slightly before the Snowden reveal.
Probably a Republican, considering how firm they tend to stand.
Hm, that might be agreeable; though I'd actually prefer that they were prosecuted under 18 USC 241 & 242 — both are felonies.

“You are being watched. The government has a secret system: a machine that spies on you every hour of every day. I know, because I built it. I designed the machine to detect acts of terror, but it sees everything.
“
Then, the Inventor of the secret system in one show, noted, “Then came the social media, and no one really had to spy on America, just monitor the social media sites.”
Farakhani Ellison from Minnesota, or Baghdad Jim McDermott from Washngton state? If they kept it to people like that, I can see it, but I am afraid they wont...
“I know for a fact they’re spying on Peter Florick”
Of course, naming her unborn baby boy Peter is no guarantee that Peter Florrick is the papa. But it’s sure looking that way.
And now they are spying on me!
Someone said that the commies are running the USA, but they no longer call themselves commies. Gun control and spying on the sheep and others, are very important tools for tyranny.

There are elected Muslims and, far worse, Muslim supporters, infesting both houses.
