"Congress should be confident enough that it can approve them permanently.”"

Is she f**king joking.

Basically

"You signed this blank piece of paper 6 years in a row. Why not save yourself the hassle and just give me your permanent signature to copy?"

And "We can't tell you anything about how many plots have been discovered or how many US citizens we spy on."

with the unstated message "And there's not a single thing you can do about it"

Accountability.

It's a sign of weakness. :-{

This is the true total arrogance of career data fetishist.
