William Barr, alleged Attorney General and supposed crime fighter, says encrypted devices pose

grave threat to America.

So here we have an attorney general who, having been held in contempt of America, now wants us to trust his word on what is or isn’t a danger to American society. He has repeatedly lied about Mueller’s investigation, about Russian interference in our elections, and lied about his ability to be a neutral actor on the issues surrounding trump.

Gee, I wonder why I think that the more encryption the better. If he wants less I want more. I don’t want this unelected, self imposed mobster having access to anything we THE PEOPLE choose to keep private.

This is a man who wants to keep private all the testimony he possibly can when mueller goes before Congress tomorrow. So privacy is ok for him and his cult of democracy destroyers, but not the everyday working stiff.

Ya gotta wonder when this hall of mirrors administration is just going go away....hopefully soon, to the nearest prison.

... via a poorly encrypted link, with backdoors the Russians and Chinese (also all NATO allies) can easily access... and this siphon off his cash.
