Ron Wyden Attacks Dan Coats: You Promised to Provide How Many Americans Were Swept up by Section 702

EXCERPT:

WYDEN: "Mr. Director, as recently as April you promised Americans that you would provide what you called a relevant metric for the number of law-abiding Americans who were swept up in the FISA 702 searches. This morning, you went back on that promise and you said that even putting together a sampling, a statistical estimate would jeopardize national security. I think that is a very, very damaging position to stake out. We are going to battle it out in the course of this because there are a lot of Americans who share our view that security and liberty are not mutually exclusive. We can have both. And you rejected that this morning, you went back on a pledge, and I think it is damaging to the public."
