Timing is interesting. Could they have known about the Seal Team 6 raid in Yemen?
These IT staffers would know how to secure communications, wouldn’t they? Perhaps FBI and NSA have backdoors they don’t know about, that not even the Obama would know.
If Seal Team 6 in Yemen was impacted by these IT staffers, the President could move for them to be tried for treason.
Somebody passed that information along to Yemen...
