ELINT collection is like using a huge vacuum. Because you don't know ahead of time what will be useful, you just hoover up everything. You won't really know what you've got until you get a chance to sort through and analyze it later. They already know that they stole the election. They already know that we know that they stole the election. What they want to know is exactly who knows exactly how much about exactly how they did it. It's about closing the loop, finding and sealing the leaks and hardening vulnerabilities in the system for the next time. This is about finding their own fuck-ups. Remember, sneaky and devious doesn't = intelligent. You think the NSA really cares about cat videos and your mom's pound cake recipe?
