Did Sen. Brownback (R-KS) Violate Senate Rules?
Thursday May 26 2005, @04:24PM
Anyone else catch Brownback's speech on Bolton last night where he disclosed what I believe to be previously undisclosed information from a classified NSA Intercept?
Regarding the 19 intercepts that Bolton requested the info on the US citizen's whose information had been "minimized" Brownback - who I believe is one of only two Senators who have been cleared to even see the memos - said that the memo that Bolton showed to another individual without getting proper clearance was in fact shown to an employee that reported to Bolton and that the employee was the US citizen mentioned in the memo.
This seems to be much more of a violation of the rule the rightwing of blogosphere were accusing Reid of breaking just two weeks ago re: Judge Saad's FBI file.
