Any appointee who views encryption as a "red flag" and wants to collect even more data is bad news, @justinamash, regardless of position.

"The use of strong encryption in personal communications may itself be a red flag." Yikes. #CyberSecurity #privacy @nbougalis @justinamash

It gets worse @haydentiff, @justinamash: @RepMikePompeo wants to collect "all metadata" and combine it w/ "financial and lifestyle" info.

@justinamash why?

@jaketapper @justinamash Jake, I am suprised/disappointed by your "why". You should know Sessions' anti-civil liberties views!

@MarkP21 @jaketapper @justinamash You're presuming he's a mind reader rather than a reporter who shouldn't make guesses when he can ask.

@vpostrel @jaketapper @justinamash Why? I mean its Twitter, so possible that Jake knew about it his record, but it just seemed uninformed.

@markp21 @jaketapper He didn’t ask what Sessions’ views were. He asked what @justinamash objected to. That’s basic reporting.

@justinamash ...because? Using big words doesn't constitute an argument

@justinamash Sessions will advance the police state; you're right to be concerned

@billjpiper @justinamash Again what's the concern about Sessions? All he wants to do is enforce the immigration laws on the books.

@LIBERTYSWF @justinamash we make our case against him here http://www.drugpolicy.org/news/2016/11/president-elect-trump-selects-senator-jeff-sessions-staunch-supporter-failed-drug-war-b … would also add he is horrible on surveillance

@billjpiper @justinamash Trump has said marijuana goes down to the states.

@LIBERTYSWF @justinamash Jeff Sessions has said the opposite
