Warner: I understand why you guys don't want to tell us the details of your conversations with POTUS, but we have to weigh here the public's absolute need to know whether POTUS is obstructing justice. The American public deserves the answers to these questions.

Coats is suggesting that he would answer these questions in closed hearings, but not in public.

Warner: Director Coats, you missed a chance here to lay to rest a major public controversy. "At some point, these facts have to come out."

So if thee president didn't have these conversations with them what would be the reason to not just flat out deny it? It has to be because he did, right?

For unmasking to happen, request must: -be submitted in writing -be in accordance with fulfillment of your job -you need the base clearance and access to understand the documentation into which you requested the unmasking.
IF all three of those criteria are met, the unmasking occurs in a report, and the report includes stern reminders of the purpose of the unmasking and the sensitive nature of the information

Rubio: If what's being told to the media is untrue, then that's unfair to the president. If it is true, then the American public needs to know that.

Rubio: "Did the NSA routinely, extensively, repeatedly violate the rules that were put inplace in 2011 to minimise the risk of collection of upstream collection?"
Rogers: We've had compliance problems, and have reported those to the appropriate oversight agencies.
