If that were true, then how did Flynn's conversation with the Russian ambassador, during which Flynn was in the Trump Tower, get leaked to the press?
“The FBI has offered no opinion and has no view and no information on the potential impact on the election because.........”
because they were too busy playing “cover you own ass” games. Comey is sooooooo deep into the tank of crooked, he exudes it.

Every conversation with a foreigner, and more likely every conversation, is captured by the NSA and cataloged. Someone accessed that system, unmasked the identity of Flynn on the call and dumped the recording to the NYTimes.
Most systems that deal with secure information, such as payroll, log whoever even looks at a given record. One would imagine a system such as the NSA’s would include such a log.
The NSA knows who accessed the particular records. At this point they are trying to either cover for that person and/or they don’t want the system more widely exposed to the public; as it would lay bare the fact the NSA is recording and keeping every phone conversation.
Bottom line, the surveillance state is trying to destroy the Trump administration using illegal surveillance without admitting to the use of surveillance. Long term, it won’t work. Some pissed off underling or corporate climber will rat-out the person who did this.
