A guy whose been out of the game since 2001...NSA has Clinton's deleted emails, whistleblower claims | Fox News
These must be the Chelsea wedding emails.

Look I'd love for this to be true, so the full emails can see the light of day, but it's just not happening. IF the NSA had them at anypoint, they are long gone now.
You can't be a whistle blower if you no longer work for the NSA.
It is very likely, however, that there are many copies of Clinton's mailbox floating around out there.
NSA most likely does have them but only as the batch capture of general email traffic they gather. Clinton's emails, after all, were traversing the open internet where NSA casts their nets.
Where is it written that one cannot be a whistleblower if one no longer works for the company?
Oh yeah, here at DP, in this thread, in post #23.
Where is it prescribed that one's whistleblower status expires when one no longer works for the company?
Article is light on facts.
He has no operational knowledge anymore. You can't be a whistle blower on a guess.
So when one stops working for a particular company, one surrenders any knowledge, operational or otherwise, gained over a 20 year career? I don't think so.
One has no access to any potential data collection that would have begun 8 years after you left.
True enough, but having worked there for 20+ years, and having designed the system being used, don't you think he would have a pretty good understanding how the system worked?

They've been spying on millions of Americans thanks to Obama. Spying on any is bad, but if Hillary hadn't setup that idiotic server, maybe it wouldn't have happened.

You can be a whistleblower, after you no longer work there. You could share information about things you worked on, it doesn't all of the sudden become unclassified or irrelevant once you've left. You could also have knowledge about things that would be relevant to after you leave. However, you can't be one talking about stuff you don't know anything about, which he most likely doesn't in this case.
My point was it is 15 years after he had any working knowledge of NSA programs. He most likely has no functional knowledge this far removed, and can't blow the whistle of data mining that would have happened well after his tenure.
15 years later? Nope.
Spying started under Bush 2...
And of course it would have happened, because if the NSA is spying on everyone, then they would be spying on the governments email servers as well!
Being a whistleblower requires that you actually know something. He can't possibly know any of this because he wasn't working for the NSA during Clinton's time as SecState.
He left the NSA when a 40GB hard drive was top of the line. I'm going to suggest that his knowledge of mass-surveillance in 2016 is limited.
The NSA only took over from the FBI who had been spying on politicians since the 40's-50's.
But you believe Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump?
Ummm....they were spying on us long before Obama even got involved in politics.
What did he do about it?
As much as Bush did, and probably as much as Trump or Clinton will do.
Massive credibility problems.. Fox News and Breibart involved...
But a major problem with the fact that, if the NSA does have the emails, then that means it has been spying on politicians in the US, and that means ALL politicians.. wonder if the GOP would be happy with that fact?
