National Journal’s Ron Fournier saw this story and reacted with this:
This is scary. 1984 scary. We’ve got an agency called “Secret Service” targeting political enemies

Naturally, journalist Glenn Greenwald wasn’t surprised and he issued a reminder (read: warning) that this incident was not small potatoes:
Maybe it’s not paranoid after all to worry about the Government collecting vast data on its citizens in secret https://t.co/38uZaVaFkR

Also, this wasn’t one or two “bad apples” or “rogue agents” – it was dozens who participated in this & shared data. https://t.co/38uZaVaFkR
