They're passing intelligence to the DEA and IRS for domestic crimes, with orders from the top of the DOJ to hide that intelligence from everyone, even the courts, and only use it to construct a parallel case to prosecute with. I don't believe that's "trying to be careful" with the information. That's a blatant abuse of our legal system.

- malandrew 13y agoYup. We don't have to wait 10 years. The people with less scruples are in office now already abusing the system. If these are the norms of acceptable behavior now, I fear what they are going to consider acceptable (ab)use of the system in 10 years.
