Sen. Patrick Leahy said Monday that the NSA shouldn't be trusted with Americans’ secrets when it can’t even keep them safe from “a 29-year-old subcontractor.”

“I got the response when we criticized them, ‘Well we’re going to be careful. We’re going to protect these records.’ Baloney. This is the same NSA that couldn't protect their greatest secret from a 29-year-old subcontractor who stole them all, marched them off to Russia and has been letting them out about every other day,” Leahy said on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” on Monday. “They can’t keep our secrets and shouldn't all have them.”
