The FBI commits shenanigans. To summarize, the FBI got a legitimate subpoena for certain records, withdrew it, issued a National Security Letter 1 even though NSLs weren't applicable to the type of records in question, got refused, got another subpoena, and then went to Congress saying that they needed wider powers because NSLs were inadequate. They shouldn't have even been given that inch, and they're reaching for a mile.
