Snowden: NSA snoops on U.S. phone calls without warrants

Nadler switched to talking about "listen[ing] to the phone," which is FAA 702, not 215. 215 is only for stored records and has not been used, as far as I can remember, for content. (BTW the exchange was with Mueller, not Clapper.)

It's imprecise to say the exchange was only with Mueller, since Clapper responded to the questions raised in that conversation. Yet another strategy that is adding to the confusing narratives being sown by the government (and that can cause stories to be retracted).

I wouldn't call a statement four days later without a response an "exchange," though I suppose some people might.
