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

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.

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