We know most of it because of whistleblower leaks.
Otherwise known as a lever within the US political system that allows for transparency.
No free press, no whistleblowers.
I'm mainly thinking of Snowden, who wasn't afforded whistleblower protections, and who mainly distributed through foreign media like Der Spiegel and The Guardian.
