That report, which was released on Thursday by the Congressionally approved board, argued that the NSA’s telephone metadata program was illegal. ‘At least 15 judges on about 35 occasions have said that the program itself is legal,’ Holder said. ‘I think that those other judges, those 15 judges, got it right.’ Holder and the White House have both expressed great skepticism at the PCLOB’s recommendations.”
