and deliberately not wanting to know what is or was taking place is unacceptable mr. mueller. you have an accountability. a big one. especially when it comes to these black-op programs on mind control & experimentation on humans. for the record... ~ joanne

wait till the people ultimately find out what has been done to americans at the hands of the intelligence / military... known by the oversite committees. it's funny how these guys act in hearings as opposed to what they do behind closed doors in the presence of their own. they work harder to coverup as opposed to investigate the criminals & prosecute. ..... as in my own case and a subject.  shame on you all ~ joanne

I can't believe this. These "Letters" are nothing but blatant violations of the fourth amendment. They shouldn't be needed under ANY circumstances. What happened to court-orders and warrants?What's worse is that Obama is asking to have their powers expanded so that they can track you online through your service providers, again, just by having law enforcement officers write a letter to themselves. This make me sick to have voted for him.Because both sides support it there's no media coverage.

I voted for Bush that first time; I am sick to my heart for that vote! God forgive me! I am now an X Republican! I can not understand why that party is still supporting this administration! Lincoln is rolling in his grave in shame for what this party has become.

Yeah, why spend tax dollars on keeping the Goverment clean and accountable when you can spend it on better things like blowing up brown children on the other side of thw world. retard.

Finally some congessional oversight!

This is what happens when politicians assume absolute power.

This whole arrogant, sleazy, dishonest bunch has to be to be removed. This can not be allowed to happen ever again.

Forget everything,

Play stupid and ignorant.

That seems to be the strategy all around by Republicans

[antiklaus]

Wholly criminal! This disgusts and infuriates me. Is there no level of government where accountability is in practice anymore?

Your tax dollars being burned at a rate of $100,000.00 per hour.
