I think the main issue here is that they cannot actually do this themselves because it would violate their remit as agencies focused outside the United States for good reason, but somehow buying the same data makes it "OK" from a compliance / constitutionality perspective.

It smells.

It doesn't make it OK from a compliance / constitutionality perspective to access non-publicly available data on Americans without due process by buying it. That's a misreading of the report. Previously discussed: >>36302666
