I am sure that you are right that the help that AT&T et al gave to Uncle Sam was very helpful in the GWOT. In fact, maybe the FBI can just ask all the lawyers in the country to let them rifle through their files. Check with your managing partner; maybe she can set up a G-Man (uh, G-Person) in that empty space on 27 by the Feinsterblocker Conference Room to let him/her look through the files on all of the firm's estate planning and tax clients for "patterns." Who knows? They might find out that one or two of them are laundering money for Hamas or Al Quida or ETA.

I'm not sure your hypo goes far enough, since I don't see the criminal exposure for letting the FBI rifle through some files.
