Yes, they are. When Obama did his last-minute stunt of letting all 17 agencies access the NSA data, including content, he made this almost impossible to stop. They can be switching from one to the other constantly so it will be almost impossible to find them and impossible to ever get them all. Am I right, clandestine experts, or just writing a spy novel here?
Just imho would say it is time for the selection to be done by “Moscow Rules”— old style tradecraft without any... any electronic or digital communication. Something the good guys in intel know a lot about. That would keep the process out of the g-dmnd leaker/spikers of obamaumao’s on and off-campus “team”.
