This seems to me to be the correct decision. Van Buren should have been charged with:

GA 332: Abuse of official power GA 333: Exceeding official powers GA 338: Bribe-taking

and, Federally, 18USC 201, which prohibits public officials from taking bribes.

I'd imagine they were, by the time things get to the Supreme Court, they're dealing with very narrow issues of law and not the entire case.

There should be some snooping/violation-of-privacy charges as well, but otherwise that sounds about right. CFAA is not relevant here.

Er, CFAA is not relevant to the criminal case againt Van Buren, I mean.
