      @ggreenwald @bartongellman pretty sure it isn't telecoms. That would be insanely expensive for them. Some don't even keep texts.

      @onekade So barring some blabby Feeb saying "she's a jihadist nutjob" they don't have it or it's nothing. @ggreenwald @bartongellman

      @emptywheel I don't follow this leap. They could totally use it to figure out she was involved and HOW, and then go about finding evidence.

      @onekade Only exception to instant leaks of intercepts I can think of was Khalid Ali-M Aldawsari, where NSA data prolly implicated Saudis.

      @emptywheel I see what you mean. But maybe they have learned from this and are keeping this tight to the upper CT ranks. Who knows

      @onekade Does ANYTHING in this investigation look like it was tightly held?

      @emptywheel it's hard to know what has been deliberately leaked and what has simply wiggled free. No?

      @onekade No such thing as simply wiggling free. I guarantee you if her call was interesting, it would serve someone's political agenda.

          @emptywheel perhaps they simply point the FBI in the right direction.

          @onekade Some--by no means all--of the people in the loop on this investigation are too Manichean to let that go unleaked.

          @emptywheel I see your point, and it is well taken, but we really don't know.

          @onekade We don't. But I find the reliability of jihad-crazy investigators as reliable a read as one single FBI guy.

          @emptywheel ok but what about this scenario: NSA tells FBI they have information suggesting she was involved, don't give details.
