Hayden came off as an idiot. Why would anyone believe this regime wouldn’t use these records the same way they did in the IRS.
When they put the Tea Party on the terrorist list it gave them the ability to mine that database to see if anyone was talking to suspected Tea Party leaders.
Why didn’t they pick up the calls from the Boston Bombers?
Contrasts it to the IRS. Ignoring the fact that the IRS disregarded the law as well.

Obviously, your question answers itself. Further, I don’t see any evidence that Obama’s admin cares one iota about preventing terrorism beyond the political ramifications of an attack. And now that they have politically withstoood Boston (and Benghazi) I think they have ZERO interest in preventing terrorism. They actually trade on it to no small extent.
It is all about the assumptions made when developing the threat matrix. Which groups and what activities are considered a threat.
Probably because 'Islam', 'allah', and the moeties of Islamoterrorism,
just like anyone who is connected to the Chicago Mob
or the high up in the DNC,
is removed from the list ... and never followed further.

Thats the elephant in the room that they don’t want to talk about, or expect us to see
