Democrats And Fuzzy Math
What do you get when you take 14 senators and add them to 17 house members?
You get 95 individual briefings on the NSA warrantless surveillance program.
Ain’t it funny that the Democrats claimed to be “shocked” about the “secret” program?
14 Democrats were fully aware of the program and it’s details. Yet they claim they did not know about the program.
I guess it all depends on what the definition of secret is.
