I don't know who that is or what that means. I'm referring to the actual indictment filed after the investigation that those phone records were subpoenaed during. It's unclear if you're trying to say that phone records should not be subject to court order or just those of politicians.

The point is that just because the good guys got the bad guys in the end doesn't make it right or that it's good precedent.

I remember during the Fanny-whatever-her-name-was thing that went through the courts prior to Trump's election they pulled up cell location records from 10yr ago as if they were nothing special whatsoever and introduced them as evidince. Sure, all of that was done according to laws and process, but having decades old location records exist at all to be subject to government inquiry is probably something that's bad on its face and we should not be doing even if it lets us nab a few people who did wrong.

I don't know what you mean by "good guys got the bad guys in the end": the subject of the indictment is currently the President of the United States and the charges were dropped as a result.
