This is contrary to everything I’ve heard about their internal controls, especially after Snowden. He was able to get as much as he could because he was a trusted administrator, and that was reportedly tightened significantly afterwards.

Snowden had mentioned that he had observed people within certain roles of electronic surveillance had almost unlimited ability to review personal text messages of arbitrary targets. He went on to say it was often by used/abused by them to verify the fidelity of each other's partners or romantic interests. I would say at the time, there was probably not adequate internal oversight.
