And we are now finally at a point in the story where after Edward Snowden has taken this information, He has got about one and a half million documents on various sort of SD cards and hard drives. He is in Hong Kong now, sort of ensconced in a disgusting hotel room filled with cartons of takeaway food.

He is now in a room with journalist Glenn Greenwald, Ewan McCaskill from The Guardian, and Laura Poitras, a filmmaker. And now June 5th, 2013, this first article drops and it's a massive one.

He's constantly sort of scratching his bald head, probably thinking, why in the hell is this guy asking me this question? I think... that the real mistake here that Clapper made was not answering the question in that way, because how could he have answered that responsibly in an open hearing? Yeah.
