I'm not really surprised that they have access to this information, I'm just surprised that they buy it, rather than just demanding it be handed over.

Buying has no accountability, no judges. Probably not even a proper paper trail.

They're spending public money, so the cost doesn't matter to them either. With this administration they can get unlimited funding.
