I thought this was a new technology, that allowed them to monitor 500 phone calls at a time, on a switch, and the only criteria for listening in was that the switch had a link outside the US. Some of the monitored calls originated and terminated in the US, they were just routed overseas. The vast majority of the calls were made by US citizens.
I don't think Clinton did that, or Bush Sr. or Carter.

Sigh...so if one guy commits a "crime" more efficiently, another guy who commits the same crime, but had less resources to do it, couldn't do it as well is not guilty because someone later with better technology did it better?

So your only guilty until someone does the "crime" better - then you are no longer guilty?

Yeah.
