Which email metadata program specifically, how you know Biden personally had anything to do with shutting it down and how do you know there's no other programs such as Room 641A, MUSCULAR, etc. that can do the same? Same for phone metadata - what Biden had to do with it and how do we know it actually was reduced and not just changed codename?

You haven't told me anything in fact except that some things supposedly happened while Biden was a VP.



> Which email metadata program specifically

There was only one in the leaks. That one.

> how do you know there's no other programs

If there were any, Snowden would have leaked those instead of a program that had already been shut down.

> how do we know it actually was reduced and not just changed codename?

Because laws were changed, and oversight was added that showed how many metadata records the NSA requested from the telcos.

> how you know Biden personally had anything to do with shutting it down

Does it matter if he was personally in charge or if he delegated? Collection of Americans'metadata shrunk while he was VP.
