Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

        @thegrugq @emptywheel not unreasonable to expect link analysis. But, they do have call logs (presumably), and iCloud data, so, ???

        @emptywheel going through that phone itself is legit(if only they has passcode), what might not be is asking apple to build the backdoor

        @emptywheel @thegrugq my hunch is that they hope to find "collaborators". Still not a valid excuse.

        @thegrugq @emptywheel I'm not disagreeing the core motive, I'm suggesting it's a shady AF premise for what they're asking.
