US can’t access NSA phone records in San Bernardino terror case
(AP)
WASHINGTON >> The U.S. government’s ability to review and analyze five years’ worth of telephone records for the married couple blamed in the deadly shootings in San Bernardino lapsed just four days earlier when the National Security Agency’s controversial mass surveillance program was formally shut down.
Under a court order, those historical calling records at the NSA are now off-limits to agents running the FBI terrorism investigation even with a warrant.
From another thread talking about Fast & Furious (Obama running guns to the Mexico):
Okay, tinfoil hat time: what's the possibility the attack by this ISIS cell in San Bernardino could have been, in large part, for the very same reason?
After all, this administration and its media outlets immediately called for more gun control, almost as if they were primed and ready to go with their stories and speeches.
We know for a fact that ISIS has said it would strike the US very soon. What if someone(s) in this administration sat on specific information about when and where this attack was to take place? Worse, what if ISIS moles in our own government played a role in activating this particular cell to strike?
Not saying or implying someone actually did. I'm just asking what if, and if so, how does it benefit this administration's goals and those of its Muslim supporters.
I think it's worth investigating further.
