tl;dr NSA is either lying (they knew about it, and didn't tell anyone, therefore failing their mission to "protect America"), or NSA is incompetent, and in 2 years they couldn't find this massive vulnerability, even though they have thousands of security researchers, spend billions of dollars, and OpenSSL should be a huge target for them - therefore also failing their mission to "protect America".
So far NSA has pleaded incompetence.

It really can't get any better.
