That seems to go against checks and balances if all the White House has to do is classify something and congress and the courts cannot ask about it or if they do it is ok to lie about it.
Congress can be briefed on it in a session that is closed to the public.

I agree. However, the poster I responded to didn't think that was necessary. Had he requested that then that would have been the same as a yes.
So, I am sure after the hearing, when no one could see, a secret meeting was called to clarify the lie. *sarcasm*

[Senator Wyden]
"I hope we can do this with just a YES or NO answer because I know Senator Feinstein wants to move on.
Last summer, the NSA Director was at a conference, and he was asked a question about the NSA surveillance of Americans. He replied, and I quote here, 'the story that we have millions or hundreds of millions of dossiers on people is completely false.'
The reason I’m asking the question is, having served on the committee now for a dozen years, I don’t really know what a dossier is in this context.
So, what I wanted to see is, if you could give me a YES or NO answer to the question: Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?"
[James Clapper]
"No, sir."
[Wyden]
"It does not?"
[Clapper:]
"Not wittingly. There are cases where they could, inadvertently perhaps, collect -- but not wittingly."
This is what I understood was the question that Clapper lied about, and which Senator Wyden was astounded by the response. I don't see anything but a premeditated lie by Clapper.
