From what I understood from the OP link, the FBI are working closely with US attorneys on how to structure and sequence their cases. I really don't understand why you have theorised that a US attorney would allow attacks to take place.

The article which you linked, says the arrested people are accused of conducted scouting trips of the governor's house. The furthest that the guardian went, was saying their claims of an FBI setup were "not entirely outlandish&quo

You don't know that at all. For all you know, 99% are legitimate targeted harassment or part of a larger course of offending behaviour. It's snap uninformed judgements like yours that are the problem, imo

The question was - why is (this legislated behaviour) any of the government's business? That's not an opinion. Ultimately it's a question of consent and the social contract. My answer, which you're critical of here, is t

One purpose of government in the UK is law writing, so the Communications Act 2003 is absolutely their business. As to why the behaviour needs legislating: because the British social contract required it, because in British society they
