NSA Spying: Did the National Security Agency spy on elected officials? What should the legal consequences be for Edward Snowden for leaking classified documents that exposed the NSA’s massive surveillance of Americans’ telephone, email and Internet records?

Sanders discussed the surveillance in interviews on Monday with CNN and WPTZ-TV. “Are we a quote unquote free society, which we tout ourselves to be, we claim to be, if the United States government knows every phone call youve made, knows where you are, has the capability of intercepting your emails and knows the websites that youve visited. Is that what a free society is about?” Sanders said. Watch the interview here: youtu.be/o3zIRHjlEok Read more here: sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/recent-business/nsa-spying
