Have we learned nothing about the NSA's tactics? The Intercept publishes reporting that they would rather not have been printed, and the very day the DOJ unseals charges where they try to say they learned about the leak from a paper crease from what can be reasonably inferred to be The Intercept. Meanwhile the alleged leaker allegedly used her work computer to contact The Intercept (in contradiction with their recommended best practices).

It has all the appearances of the government trying to smear a news outlet and ensure no one leaks to them again.

Do we still really trust the NSA? It was disappointing yet expected from the WaPo that they took as fact everything the DOJ alleged about how the case proceeded.
