It sure looks like it could be strategic.

The "taps foreign heads of state" et. al. really due blood, e.g. DiFi shocked the intelligence community for doing a public about face.

Presumably because monitoring us proles is just fine with her, but other members of the international elite? That's beyond the pale, and I don't assume her call for a "top-to-bottom review of U.S. spy programs" is to do anything more than find out other such elite embarrassments.

BUT, to the extent the above is not true, or is making this Total Surveillance State toxic, now's a good time to drop this tidbit.
