“...non authorized entities outside of government...”
Non authorized is bad, but it could be VERY VERY BAD. Who, outside the government. I mean, how far outside? As far as foreign governments or foreign intelligence? Or shared with lobby groups and special interests? Shared with BLM/Antifa? Or just shared with certain domestic federal or local jurisdictions, like prosecutors on cases?
Like I said, this is bad anyway, but the spectrum of how bad ranges from abuse of power to treasonous subversion of national security.

It's how the Federal government keeps growing and expanding despite strict employee numbers and salary caps. You hire quasi-feds who aren't subject to government ethics rules [yeah, I know] and who are not sworn to uphold the Constitution. Easy Peasy
“Who, outside the government. I mean, how far outside?”
We’re talking private contractors in the defense and intelligence industry. Probably similar to firms like the one Brennan worked at during the 2008 election (The Analysis Corp), who were given access to government databases and which led to the passport records scandal.
