Why were the accounts of interest? Were they controlled by foreign IPs?

When there are mass ransomware attacks from foreign states, the FBI does help private companies.

I think that is probably the charitable perspective. Either that or the FBI led by James Comey at the time (who arguably single handed sunk Clinton in 2016 by going against FBI policy to re-open the "emails" case), was corrupt and at a rate of one email a week was attempting to control the national discourse thru twitter.

Not sure if that is credible given the FBI could have done far worse to the trump campaign.

Though, without primary source material, I'm not sure how one could tell the difference (Occams razor seemingly might come into play)
