Widespread abuses cannot exist without the cooperation of a corrupt media. If a President is corrupt, and the President appoints a corrupt Attorney General, there are limitless possibilities to harass and intimidate political opponents so long as a biased media ignores the abuses. That is what was happening on a huge scale in the Clinton Administration. And it will happen again in a future Clinton Administration. What is today is called "data mining" can turn into an enemies list in the future.
