The NSA has the transcript of all phone calls made since 2005? Really?
Sort of.
The NSA is capturing all data going across certain networks. The specifics aren’t fully know but suffice it to say, IP data, and any data crossing the border is being collected wholesale.
Everything is recorded and saved. Not everything is uncompressed and decoded.
Ever heard of Project Echelon......the British equivalent of the CIA circumvents the U S Constitution by spying on us & passing it on to the CIA, reportedly the CIA returns the favor for the British.....(no wonder there is little evidence for President Trump to produce)

They have the digital information involved in your call. If someone wants a transcript if your call it can be prepared from the digital storage records.
I am no expert, but I think they have the DIGITAL information for many/most communications. That digital info can be transcribed into text....
I am open to correction.
That was what jumped out at me as well.
Really? If true, that has other implications.
That’s what got me.
The government has transcript of all the calls we have made for the last 11 years?
How is this not a violation of the Fourth Amendment or is that just words?
