        Incidentally, I love the file name that shows up: "open source timeline" to this. https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.190597/gov.uscourts.dcd.190597.315.16_1.pdf … As if this is parallel construction.

        It is WhatsApp. But that doesn't appear to be the primary way they got it.

        The app supports voice and texts both, encrypts the texts, logs call records to iCloud. The text doesn’t confirm that the texts were saved to iCloud. You can initiate a call from Messages. Almost has to be Messages.

        Line uploads backups to iCloud if a user requests it, and they do have encryption if enabled.

        The only encrypted app that will show up in iCloud is iMessage.

        Did Manafort use Siri to dictate his witness tampering messages? The boy should have learned how to type his criminal sh!t.

        Can’t you back up WhatsApp or maybe they just mean “Messages?
