re: #115 earthanimal

It’s two separate things getting a bit jumbled together. The first question about going from the phone number to the “contents of the phone” Mueller takes as a question about what you need to get to go back and ask for the subscriber name from the telco. Nadler then interrupts asking about an actual wiretap or perhaps getting the stored recordings from the telco, and Mueller says you’d need a FISA court order to request that. Nadler then says that in an earlier classified briefing he got the impression the analyst could get the “the specific information from that telephone” without a warrant. Mueller says that’s not his understanding. Nadler says it’s not his either, but there’s a conflict there. Mueller says I’ll get you a clarification on it. Nadler says thanks.
