I’m assuming it’s some form of regulatory capture - Schumer’s comment to Trump [https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/schumers-warning-int...], and the many shenanigans that Diane Feinstein apparently ran into over the years, makes it clear they intentionally dodge oversight and probably have a lot of dirt on people.

And if you were the NSA, how could you pass up on using some of that ‘accidentally’ collected intel to help avoid distractions while you ‘protect the nation’ eh?
