I have preliminarily concluded that it knew that the legalities of the surveillance were quite dodgy, yet that it acted in good faith. Why else would a politically sophisticated administration inform Democratic congressmen of what it was doing unless it was?

I think this reasoning is sound as far as it goes. The problem that I see is that it ignores the puffed-chest CIC-uber-alles rhetoric. Your comfort level is hard to reconcile with that.
