My Comment: The head of the U.S. House of Representatives Intelligence Committee and the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee do not provide any evidence to their accusations. Should they be believed .... considering how much they have kept the public in the dark on the breath and scope of NSA spying .... if they continue to make accusations while providing no evidence .... I would have to say no.
