But notice, the judicial review of the request to disclose happens at the initial round, i.e. when the corporation is asked to disclose to a foreign government. Once this government has it, there is no judicial review should they decide to turn over that information to the U.S.

For the second thing, the concern isn't that foreign companies will target U.S. citizens, it's that we'll end up in the mix anyway, after which we lose any 4th Amendment protections over the data involved. "Minimize" is an incredibly broad standard, and is ripe for abuse.
