They, "the DOJ" is just trying to do it's job, as they are under the microscope due to the fumbles that led to the compromises by an obviously inept predecessor. Now, they are tighten the screws on everything from telecoms to bank accounts; to prevent another round of fumbled information resulting in a preventable issue going unchecked. I don't like all of the hoops either but, nothing we do or say is going to change their minds or their course of action. -Peter
