They are purchasing information that is for sale. Worrying. What's more worrying is that we can assume this information is also available to every US adversary.

Tangentially, it's interesting that the US declassifies things and they become publicly available.

Where can I buy this information? I'd like to track some politicians.

If you're serious about it, check out this article: https://www.vice.com/en/article/nepxbz/i-gave-a-bounty-hunte...

What you need to do is pick an entity that has the information you desire, and recursively enumerate the graph of all business deals which involve the sale of that information (their downstreams, effectively). After that, you do OSINT to map out all of the employees of every organization that has access to these databases. After you have mapped out these tens of thousands of individuals and their likely social graphs, all you have to do is pay one of them a relatively small sum to do a query on your behalf.
