Edward Snowden @Snowden
Three years ago, this story on mass surveillance was published. At the time, no one knew it was part of a series. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jun/06/nsa-phone-records-verizon-court-order
Edward Snowden @Snowden
Surprised, @WhiteHouse said it was a "critical tool." 6 months later, that was proved a lie. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/independent-review-board-says-nsa-phone-data-program-is-illegal-and-should-end/2014/01/22/4cebd470-83dd-11e3-bbe5-6a2a3141e3a9_story.html pic.twitter.com/NJ6yz5xvyd

Bureaucrats said #NSA plays by the rules, but Top Secret documents showed them breaking the law 2,776 times a year. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/nsa-broke-privacy-rules-thousands-of-times-per-year-audit-finds/2013/08/15/3310e554-05ca-11e3-a07f-49ddc7417125_story.html
