Can't do that when you don't know who was targeted by the wiretaps.

I thought we knew this. I thought the targets were known terrorists making phone calls into this country or call originating from this country to terrorists.

Perhaps I am thinking of something different, but I thought we knew this too. Didn't certain telephone companies provide records and information to the CIA. Information which may have been illegal for them to give to the government in the manner in which they did it.

I would expect the accused to stonewall. That is why you make your case without relying on the accused.
