I think he meant a legal precedent defining whether the following constitutes harassment: > Refusing to talk to a person's lawyer, then saying "we will be attempting to talk to this person without a lawyer present" IANAL, but it seems like it's OK for an FBI agent to say they'd prefer to talk to someone in person without a lawyer. It's not OK for them to coerce someone into talking without a lawyer, but it doesn't seem like that has happened here. I understand the author's fears, but the real issue seems to be the largely unchecked potential of the FBI to inflict harm upon specific citizens for any reason, not their actual behavior in this case.
