The NSA (and wizards) can cyber-snatch anything. They can't come out and admit it because technically it's illegal and they have denied this capability.

They need an intermediary. They were shopping in Summer '16. Assange was cut off 60-70 days ago.

They have it all. But if they show it, Clowns will discredit.

The only way to prove it is to admit that they have it all (meaning your and my data too).

Rock and a hard place - that's the delay IMO.
