The NSA is facing multiple lawsuits in regards to its spying program. Under the law the NSA must destroy metadata which is over five years old, however the agency has been ordered to stop destroying the records because they could be used in the upcoming lawsuits. In other words; these records are now evidence.
However the NSA has been ignoring the order, and the agency went so far as to apparently mislead the FISA court to muddy the water, so now another Federal judge has ordered the NSA to stop destroying evidence…..for the third time.
Confirmation that Abdul Rahman Ali Al-Harbi, the Saudi national and initial “person of interest,” is indeed being deported this week now is spreading across the Internet.

Moreover, the Saudi papers are detailing the visit by the Obamas, especially Michelle to the hospital and this man. The “rumors” of the President meeting with Saudi officials in the hospital just prior to his “approved deportation” is a bragging right in their press.
More notable is the assertions that Abdul Rahman Ali Al-Harbi is free an clear of terrorist ties, when in fact over 10 names from his clan are already linked to Al-Qaeda.
