You&#x27;re seeing the justice process work as intended. The CFAA is absolutely the wrong statute to be prosecuting his crime under. But we need actual, real-world cases to highlight these discrepancies. Now legislators can come up with a law that covers the specific case of government workers abusing the tools of state for their personal ends. Perhaps it already existed, that means the prosecutors screwed up and charged him under the wrong statute. Now they know the limits of that law and so will use the right law next time.<p>It&#x27;s tempting to want a perfect judicial code, but it&#x27;s impossible, iterated law is really the only way.
