> given enough cause to obtain warrants

The FBI accessed all of Broadwell's IP address info and email accounts with nothing more than subpoena's.

I believe they are storing this information, they just don't have the technology yet that can sort it and allow access to it. So the Petreus emails are probably being stored at the NSA as well, it was just easier for the FBI to get them from Google.



As long as they have it they can wait until they have a reason to narrow things down. Pick a target, winnow their data. Reverse investigation.
