To be clear...

"Upstream collection" is related to surveillance on an underwater internet cable, it collects everything, all internet traffic. Emails, calls, photos, everything. EVERYTHING.

Who cares?
17 tells us and makes it clear, it's "upstream"

NSA surveillance collects everything Americans do and is routed to places like GCHQ Bude, huge underwater cables route all this data...(to side step the law against spying on American citizens)

A fiber signal loses it's strength like every 50 meters, it's most vulnerable at this point, the signal can be split, siphoned, mirrored, whatever you want to call it, the signal continues to it's destination while the split goes somewhere else.
Think of it like this...

You shine a laser into a two way mirror that is positioned at a slight angle. The beam is able to continue straight through the mirror to the other side, but with the mirror also reflects the beam in another direction.
44 and Brennan and his team of the shadow government likely mirrored, stole, siphoned, whatever you want to call it, that signal likely in cooperation with foreign governments. Not only for our duly elected President, his campaign, journalists, etc. Likely MANY more.
Used in combination with PRISM, they would have access to everything else, everything through all of the Big Tech, Google, Yahoo, Twitter, Facebook, ISP's, etc. All of it.
Did anyone REALLLY need to hack into ANY computer or server?

NO!

Why does 17 say matter of NAT SEC?
Because all of that intel was sold off to the highest bidder? Because it was all used as part of their sinister plan to remain in control or destroy us BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY?
And one last random thought...

Why did Ghislaine have a submarine?
