The U.S. government's ability to review and analyze five years' worth of telephone records for the married couple blamed in the deadly shootings in California lapsed just four days earlier when the National Security Agency's controversial mass surveillance program was formally shut down.
Under a court order, those historical calling records at the NSA are now off-limits to agents running the FBI terrorism investigation even with a warrant.
Instead, under the new USA Freedom Act, authorities were able to obtain roughly two years' worth of calling records directly from the phone companies of the married couple blamed in the attack. The period covered the entire time that the wife, Tashfeen Malik, lived in the United States, although her husband, Syed Farook, had been here much longer. She moved from Pakistan to the U.S. in July 2014 and married Farook the following month. He was born in Chicago in 1987 and raised in southern California.

Oh BS....
So why give up the apartment to MSNBC?
Yes indeed, total BS. Any court would allow it.
It is now against the law, so a court can’t allow it.
This article reeks of agenda.
Maybe, if Obama allows it.
Crime is under every rock with this administration
Actually this is BS. Just get a warrant to get records from the phone companies.
agreeed.
The whole NSA phone record thing is BS. LA Times now reporting that Fasheen had been posting extremist messages to her Facebook account since she arrived in US in July 2014!
Why do they need massive amounts of PRIVATE phone records when they can’t even keep track of jihadiS posting threatening messages on FACEBOOK, which is PUBLIC.
Paging anonymous. Paging anonymous. Pick up the white hacker phone please.
Because access to those records as recently as four days ago would have prevented the attack.....
Bull Spit agenda.
Like with the popos, you are on your own. The gov't won't protect you. Especially Hussein and ValJar.
I do believe they have the grounds for a search warrant./s
And why can Facebook load up your page with ads based on your personal life and can’t use their technology to track terrorists?
They can look at 2 years of records it sounds like.The most relevant would have been received recently most likely. Besides, I think Islam is past that. I think they have free rein to act whenever they feel the time is right. The troops have been propagandized sufficiently to act at random. I told my brother they lost 2 and they killed 14. They won. What is better for ISIS, Taliban, AlQueda...mass troops in one spot to die instantly or spread the globe and act independently?
Obama Regime attempting to frame the narrative & shift blame.
They dropped the ball on the Muslim shooters whom they knew were communicating with “suspected” terrorist organizations.
AFAIK, the phone companies can provide no more than the number called, date and time.
Only the NSA can (possibly) have the recorded/transcribed contents of any calls.
