If the biggest story in the history of the NSA is that some college drop-out "genius" was able to exfiltrate 20,000 docs from the NSA - and the biggest key argument they have against the guy, to prove that he were some "hacker" who was impersonating people to gain access to said files -- how is it that "NBC" is revealing this with "sources say" "an official" etc...
Don't you think that the most critical point to the credibility of the NSA is to come out and state via an official means - that they have electronic logs of this activity?
Digital forensics are binary: Either you have a digital trace of actions taken, or you do not. Period.
Either they can determine 100% that Snowden logged into station X as person Y to grab file Z -- or they do not.
THe language used in this article is textbook MISO/Psyop PR.
"Oh, an official source with knowledge of the incident has said.." -- cool, I guess they have it figured out then, huh! I shouldn't dare question that. But if I do: "We can't comment" "we cannot reveal the details of an ongoing investigation" etc...
