Nitpicking here, but the parent agency of the FBI is the Department of Justice. The EOUSA is the Executive Office of United States Attorneys, and is basically the back office support for the 93 US Attorney offices. It's parent organization is also the Department of Justice.

Basically, he is saying the DOJ planted a back door so that it could spy on its own internal network.

I was confused by this and it’s the first time I’ve heard of EOUSA.

What’s the real story here?

Factions in government are sometimes caught spying on gov organizations that have oversight/control athority over them. That was the real scandal of Edward Snowden's bombshell (that was quickly covered up).
