Is it my imagination or does every episode of Law and Order and every other cop show have the investigators pulling the suspect's phone records about four times an hour?

The leaks are criminal cases. If classified information makes it into print then, barring an accident, somebody broke the law. It's a criminal case. You can pull a suspect's phone records. Get over yourselves, ABC, you're only the mouthpieces.

Yep. And the old "keep him on the line, we almost have it traced!" routine has been obsolete for years, but I still see it on TV shows on a regular basis. Maybe this disconnect is why people are so shocked.

Yes.

The records they pull apparently include transcripts of the conversations, too.
