Federal Law - Computer Fraud and Abuse Act - Are the hunters now the hunted?

Given my complete lack of legal expertise, and the fact that no Twitter lawyer has called this out, I sure I am completely off base here. Call me dumb, whatever.

But with the Weiss investigation making the rounds again, I got to thinking about Weiss' charges. He was charged for, “a report of computer access crimes.” Sounds bad. He's fired and gone.

Then I was thinking...wait a minute. Aren't these Signalgate leaks stating that an investigator accessed Connor Stalions private server? If this is really just about some minor college football infraction, then the investigator shouldn't be authorized to do such a thing. Either Connor is implicated in something else, or somebody may have broken Federal law just to dunk on Michigan.

Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.

" (1) the defendant was not authorized to access the protected computer under any circumstances by any person or entity with the authority to grant such authorization;

(2) the defendant knew of the facts that made the defendant’s access without authorization; and

(3) prosecution would serve the Department’s goals for CFAA enforcement, as described below in B.3.  "

"B.3 ...an attorney for the Department of Justice should consider the following additional factors in determining whether a CFAA prosecution should be pursued because a substantial federal interest would be served by prosecution in a case in which the admissible evidence is expected to be sufficient to sustain a conviction:

1. The sensitivity of the affected computer system or the information transmitted by or stored on it and the likelihood and extent of harm associated with damage or unauthorized access to the computer system or related disclosure and use of information;

...

4. The impact of the crime and prosecution on the victim or other third parties;

5. The deterrent value of an investigation or prosecution, including whether the need for deterrence is increased because the activity involves a new or expanding area of criminal activity, a recidivist defendant, use of a novel or sophisticated technique, or abuse of a position of trust or otherwise sensitive level of access, or because the conduct is particularly egregious or malicious;

6. The nature of the impact that the criminal conduct has on a particular District or community;"

I tried to cliffs notes the website; there may be some other relevant information in there. Again, I am clearly not a lawyer. There may be holes here. If I am reading this correctly, and let's say Stalions isn't implicated in something actually criminal, then the only way the leaked Signalgate "evidence" isn't against Federal law would be that Stalions either gave the investigator the password himself (doubt) or that Stalions specifically granted the authority to the Vast Network to allow others to access the data (also kinda doubt that). 

I could be stretching here. But it would be hilarious if the investigator, and whomever hired them, ended up with Federal charges at the end of all of this. Maybe the State of Michigan throws in some "Using a computer to commit a crime" charges? Hooray, you got Michigan some bad PR. But you broke actual laws to do that.
