Oregon Dem Senator Ron Wyden decries DoJ's 'culture of misinformation'

Posted at 10:40 pm on November 13, 2014 by Jim J.

Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) is calling for an end to the Justice Department’s pattern of deceitful behavior when it comes to mass surveillance programs.

DoJ admits it misled a federal appeals court last month. The culture of misinformation continues http://t.co/OIKH5OBULK #EndThisDragnet

@RonWyden The culture of *perjury*. Does that even apply to government officials anymore?

@RonWyden @declanm Basically DoJ should be treated as a hostile witness any time they're in court or Congress.

.@BillStewart415 @RonWyden @declanm Misinformation, on top of perjury and contempt of the courts. Criminals, basically.

Administration’s lawyer also misled Supreme Court re: mass surveillance. @MarkUdall & I pressed for public correction http://t.co/H9cDQHMaQ2

Wyden’s selective outrage doesn’t impress some people.

@RonWyden @MarkUdall Misled. Sometimes spelled L-I-E. Lie to SCOTUS? Pshaw. Congress, SCOTUS… Why not? Who's going to hold em accountable?

@RonWyden @MarkUdall As long as Obama/Holder are Democrat, (and black) you guys will lay down like whores to protect them. Stuff yr outrage.

There’s certainly many more examples of “misinformation” from this administration that equally deserve outrage.
