While I can see the lazy low hanging fruit ITSEC thought process used behind the request. US LAW is clear on such broad 1984 style data hunts by the government. It is a felony level criminal violation of civil rights and is unacceptable. Warrant-less searches and this type of "selective data request" are a big step over the acceptable investigative legal line.

Besides the FBI has a great IT Forensics / Data Collection Team and should have all they need from the shooters computers.

NOTE:
Currently, a Government skunk works, with just a few unnoticed $1000 could set up a 3rd party (front shell company) and purchase the collected data. All without the exposure and headlines.

Such Internet Privacy and civil rights abuses are continuing to grow. An will until our elected officials enact a real Internet Use and Privacy Act. A Internet Bill Of Rights that protects the users and requires the criminal and civil punishment of ANY violators. Not the watered down version that the big campaign donor Social-Media Data Mining companies wanted and got.

QUESTION: Now that this illegal action has been exposed. What punitive actions will the DOJ AG and/or FBI Director take to address it?

Yes, please file under Clinton home-brew servers, Seth Rich murder, DNC IT guru Shahid Imran Awan's Falls Church car lot, Julian Assange and Ghislaine Maxwell's detention, Jeffrey Epstein's suicide, shooting of Ashli Babbitt, Doctor Fauci e-mails, demographic breakdown of Waco, TX Branch Dividian dead, mission to kill Osama bin Laden, and on, and on.
