    You would think after other agencies got Judges rulings "nominate somebody, that somebody to get "handling PII" training in line with Fedgov INFOSEC/OPSEC requirements" this was a zero cost SEC come-back.

    As for the FBI, DHS, like agencies, you enter the realms of custody of evidence, and effect on trial &c. This isn't something any Judge is going to take lightly, even SCOTUS would find it very very hard to argue against "in order to protect the rule of law as a thing in itself" reasoning. if the SEC has to wind up recommending legal action be taken, the last thing it needs is a defendant saying "you can't show me the information you used to decide to do this is not tainted now DOGE has been all over it"
