> As discussed in the podcast, not even a few of the people at NSA believed anything of the sort.
Snowden's documents themselves showed the legal justification for the phone metadata program. It nakes sense that Snowden would claim otherwise in the podcast because he is barely literate and hasn't actually read most of the documents he leaked.
> As detailed there, it took 18 months of lobbying and browbeating the secret court
You don't "lobby" a court. You have lawyers justify a position.
> Also I have to say I'm just loving the concerted effort ITT to redefine the term "whistleblower".
You're the one making a bizarre definition of "whistleblower." Is it whistleblowing to leak all of your company's documents if you don't know they are doing anything illegal so long as somebody can later find one thing that is illegal? Obviously not.
