At least 80% of all audio calls, not just metadata, are recorded and stored in the US. The NSA lies about what it stores.’ Unlike Snowden, Binney didn’t take any documents with him when he left the NSA. He now says that hard evidence of illegal spying would have been invaluable.

It shows that the NSA is not just pursuing terrorism, as it claims, but ordinary citizens going about their daily communications.”
