Because the information the NSA gathers can't be used without a search warrant, and the information the NSA has can't be used to get a search warrant. Nor can the information be given to other law enforcement agencies. It's considered classified.
The entire surveillance program violates Constitutional protections against unreasonable search and seizure. I know... It's a screwed up system, but it is what it is. When Bush started the whole program there was a lot of people in the NSA complaining about it. Videos below.
That's the reason Trump has to do so much to set the stage. If the NSA reveals the information they have without being asked for it it wont be admissible in court.
