Targeting a private citizen who was involved in bribing members of the Supreme Court of the United States. Somehow I think that second part might be relevant to Congress subpoenaing that "poor wittle pwivate citizen"

Also, calling billionaires "private citizens" seems wrong to me. If you've managed to hoard enough wealth to make a Tolkien dragon envious, you're no longer a "private citizen" in my book. If I became an immortal being when Christ was born, started saving $10,000 a day every day, didn't spend a single dime, and STILL don't have your net worth today, over 2,000 years later - then fuck you - you're not a "private citizen" you're a god damn plague upon society that should be counting your blessings that guillotines went out of style a few centuries ago. As far as I'm concerned, billionaires should be in front of Congress every day explaining why they should be allowed to exist.

should be in front of Congress every day explaining why they should be allowed to exist.

...once, until they're entirely abolished. Billionaires are a policy failure.
