Probably the actual classified artifact is an NSA policy document that details the NSA's own interpretation of the law and thus forms part of its governance.

No, it’s a secret FISA court decision that the public can’t see but a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee can, but he can’t tell us what he’s seen. But he can ask questions to get the surveillance state to pull another Clapper-esque whopper and get away with it.
Can he tell us in Congress with immunity, like the one who read out all the redacted names of the Epstein pedophiles?
I assume if he did that then:

- The story would become about "leaking" classified information

- He would likely lose his access to this stuff in the future
