The NSA has the White House, Congress and the Judiciary by the balls. This has been going on for decades. Snowden said that he could read Obama's emails if he had his email address.
So do not expect any treason trials in the US - the criminals are in charge of this fascist, police state as American citizens naively put hand on their hearts and sing "land of the free." That is the closest they will ever come to freedom. That's turned out to be handy, because any US Congressperson or Senator seeking to scrutinise the NSA has known that the simple fact of their interest makes them 'persons of interest' to the CIA, FBI and, of course, the NSA. Plus being watched by State and County Police Officers as a potential enemy of the USA. For white members of the US Congress, that's probably as close as they'll have ever got to the routine experience of being an unwhite person in the USA. Except, at least in the US the government is making a show of considering public opinion on this and there is fairly wide-ranging media debate - I'm sure one of our American friends on here can tell us more about that coverage. Here in the UK the press is all but silent on the issue and our own government remains locked in a 'you don't need to know, you can trust us, it is essential to ward off our evil enemies' monologue, participate in some pretty shoddy treatment of David Miranda and The Guardian, and to top it all off the majority of the UK public don't actually seem to give a shit. I despair.
