Are you suggesting that he was targeted before he became the director of the FBI? That seems unlikely. Once he became an obvious target surely the FBI should have secured his past, present and future communications. But I have no idea what protocols there are for such things, I'm just going off common sense, a notoriously sketchy starting point in the crazy world of the current US administration.
He was well known in the first Trump admin.
He's had over a year to enable it.
woah but even I haven't heard about that gmail feature...?
maybe google doesn't advertise about this much?
They absolutely advertised it when it was released and every journalist knows about it.
Kashmir Patel went out of his way to bypass security protocols for onboarding his political hires (for the US’s premiere domestic intelligence service!). If he wanted to be secure, all he had to do was not get in the way of the FBI’s natural processes.
Also, this wouldn’t have happened if POTUS had hired someone with relevant FBI experience instead of a political hack.

If only the Director of the FBI had access to some sort of investigative team, maybe more than one, maybe even enough that they use a collective term for it, something like, I don't know: bureau?
"Even you"?
Are you someone who would be inclined to look into something like that?

Why would he, when he wasn't director of the FBI then?
You’re right. He was merely [checks notes]:
Not a big deal. No need for OpSec in those positions.
Agree only a smart person would the sense in it.
