It was seeing a continuing litany of lies from senior officials to Congress - and therefore the American people - and the realization that that Congress, specifically the Gang of Eight, wholly supported the lies that compelled me to act. Seeing someone in the position of James Clapper - the Director of National Intelligence - baldly lying to the public without repercussion is the evidence of a subverted democracy. The consent of the governed is not consent if it is not informed.
Если такой человек как Джеймс Клеппер, Директор Национальной разведки США, публично лжет и это не влечет за собой никаких последствий для него, значит наша демократия начинает разрушаться.
