From TPM:
Get ready for more revelations about the extent of the National Security Agency's post-9/11 warrantless surveillance program. Newsweek's Michael Isikoff reports that the Senate Judiciary Committee is going to hear testimony from Jack Goldsmith, the former head of Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel, a key ally in James Comey's efforts as acting attorney general to scale back what they considered an illegal program.
A Senate source confirms to TPMmuckraker that the committee "expects him to testify at a hearing sometime after Congress reconvenes," but no dates have been announced yet. Nor is there word about other witnesses, or if Goldsmith -- who didn't testify along with Comey during his dramatic May 15 hearing -- has been subpoenaed. Isikoff reports that that the hearing will likely occur next month.
