They must be scared shitless or high on power.

The speculation could run wild and for now, that is all it will be, speculation, until Greenwald releases another tidbit that gets mulled over by the world audience.

My imagination could run wild on the potential wrong deeds and that is exactly the problem that this administration is facing at the moment. The veil of secrecy will continue to spur imaginative accusations keeping the President in constant defense mode. Every attempt by him to mitigate this looking more desperate, hence, fueling even more speculation. A downward spiral based upon perception more than fact. This is the best case scenario for the President.

The worst case scenario is the imaginative speculation proving to be valid, which I am inclined to believe is true. For example, it has already been revealed that we have secretly listened to European representatives, allies, during economic summits. It has already been speculated that the DEA has used NSA information and created false, parallel intelligence to hide the source.

I think it could be something bigger. Something related to private contractors profiting from government surveillance contracts outside the realm of foreign intelligence gathering. Sharing sensitive information for profit. Or perhaps fleecing us in huge amounts of money for services not actually rendered. Such a scenario would somewhat resemble Teapot Dome.
