Excellent point! Although, that Utah operation might not have been functioning in 2011. But presumably the NSA had a smaller operation somewhere else prior to that.
So, who wants to REMIND the prosecutors in IRS-gate that somebody else has these emails?
Maybe the future for the NSA will be as a type of "super-backwards-Carbonite" operation? But instead of, "Pay us money and we'll back up your emails", it'll be, "Pay us money and we WON'T back up your emails"!!!
