My working assumption is the NSA has God power and root on everything and everyone. They do not need to call anyone. This is timely PR posturing that NSA is mortal and deserves our sympathy and further budget aid.

I suppose that they could break into any system and have stockpiled a lot of exploits. The problem is that it is usually a one shot thing. The moment it goes public this means it cannot be used anymore. So it is a bit like the Martin Fury - one hit kill but only limited charges.
