So a security researcher who was angry about getting raided and hit with a CFAA accusation after an unauthorized access of private medical data started doxxing the FBI agent responsible on Twitter. And in response the FBI is requesting information about the Twitter users that were part of the conversation.

Doesn't seem quite as sensational once you know the backstory. The author is right that the charges aren't the strongest but we can't be obtuse and pretend that posting the personal information of the officer and his family couldn't meet the bar for intimidation or harassment.
