    The victim of this overreach was a piece of shit and a chronic bad troll by the sounds of it, misusing email aliases to harass people. Even though this was likely special treatment because they sent abusive messages to the Director of the FBI’s girlfriend, it’s hard to be anti corpo-state surveillance when assholes like that get picked off so easily. But we here all know that it starts with the scum and power always gets misused.

      No it’s actually still really easy, even more so in this example where it was just corruption for personal benefit and not used against any kind of legitimate threat to the public.
