„Possibility of 1000s of NSA violations unacceptable. Many intel comm members unaware of this report. In fact, we have been told no abuses.“

Remember, this isn‘t just a Congressional Rep, but a member of the Intelligence Committee, who is in charge of overseeing the NSA surveillance program. Hell, he‘s even on the oversight subcommittee, and no one told him about any abuses, despite thousands happening per year.
