The judge in this case has a clear conflict of interest. He issued a gag order on the founder of encrypted web service known as Lavabit. We can infer that he is serving personal interests through his abuse of power. "Claude M. Hilton, Senior U. S. District Court Judge ... who served on the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court ... from May 2000-2007. That puts him on the secretive panel during the period it approved some of the most controversial NSA surveillance programs to surface in Edward Snowden’s leaks, including the NSA’s bulk collection of U.S. phone call metadata, which began in 2006."
