JFork- good eye. Rockefeller, to my notion, was hoping the probe would proceed — anything to cast doubt helps his legal situation. I guess 200 questions know it really about his defense. I’m sure the NSA is well aware of who they are dealing with, that may be why Rockefeller needs several sessions.

visibly frustrated Sen. John Rockefeller

Yes, I suspect he was a tad bit frustrated, as were the more vocal far left sites. I think Rockefeller thought he had a chance to deflect attention here, and was probably very frustrated his –How can I be bad for leaking, when this program is being investigated and quite possibly illegal– defense didn’t pan out. Quite the opposite, now.
