While Director of National Intelligence James Clapper was testifying under oath before the Senate Intelligence Committee, he was asked by Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) if the National Security Administration was collecting records on millions of Americans. Clapper replied that it was not wittingly doing so.
This was later determined to be false. The National Security Administration is collecting metadata of phone calls of millions of Americans under a FISA court order.
Obviously, in an open democracy, government officials telling falsehoods to members of Congress is a very serious issue. Please direct the Attorney General, Eric Holder, to have the Department of Justice prosecute this crime by charging Director Clapper with perjury and then aggressively prosecuting that case.
