I wonder if they realized this back when they lied to congress and tried to take credit for FBI work when they couldn't come up with "a single instance in which analysis of the NSA’s bulk collection metadata collection actually stopped an imminent attack, or otherwise aided the Government in achieving any objective that was time-sensitive in nature". It's always interesting when something crazy is going on and you would think the NSA would have relevant information to help, but they don't.

I suppose six years is enough time to save some face from the 2013 fiasco?
