trust the Republicans

A report in 2006 by the Justice Department inspector general found more than 100 violations of federal wiretap laws.

In the warrantless wiretapping program approved by President Bush after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, officials at the National Security Agency on some occasions monitored communications entirely within the United States in apparent violation of the program’s protocols.

Past violations by the government have also included continuing a wiretap for days or weeks beyond what was authorized by a court, or seeking records beyond what were authorized.

How do we know what they do with all these documents when problems like these are numerous? Trust us, they say. Do you trust these Republicans to obey the law?
