Official narrative
The leader of the National Security Agency, which promises on its website to "protect national security interests by adhering to the highest standards of behavior", should one might therefore surmise exemplify such high standards of behavior.[1]
Problems
James Clapper infamously lied to the US Congress about mass surveillance and as of 2015, not only has the US Justice Department showed no interest in prosecuting him, but the commercially-controlled media has declined to make the obvious suggestion that a prosecution, or at least an investigation is in order. The Director of the NSA has since 1964 had the power to fire at will any NSA employee without explanation - leading the Washington Post to write: "This is the very definition of arbitrariness. It means that an employee could be discharged and disgraced on the basis of anonymous allegations without the slightest opportunity to defend himself."[2]
Deep State Control
The significance of the National Security Agency and its technical superiority to other intelligence agencies in key fields such as mass surveillance and cyberterrorism, together with its close support of other deep state-controlled groups leave little room for doubt that the Director of the National Security Agency is under firm control by the deep state.
