You make a lot of sense.

This matches my current approach:

First assumption: The govt is lying.

The county idiot that entered the unset passcode caused whatever data that might have been in the cloud to be automatically deleted.

Einstein!

The setting of that evidently unset passcode caused everything that may have been stored in the cloud to be zapped.

You have to call in to set the passcode if you wish to retrieve the data.

Anyone who has ever had a cellphone should know that.

Apple is losing big on this, but it may actually be law enforcement that covered up for the terrorists.

FBI = Failing Badly Intentionally?

What, no one thought to write it down? Seriously?

So the courts use the AWA to covers the Feebs ass.

>>>Not sure it is such a smart move for Trump to advocate boycotting Apple over this<<<

>>>You’d be surprised how MANY Americans are for “law & order” of the 1930s-1940s German kind<<<

You are comparing People that want Law Enforcement to have the information in a Murdering Terrorist’s Computer, (an iPhone is a Computer), to Nazi’s?

I guess you have a problem with Waterboarding those poor Terrorist types also.

What if the Terrorist’s had a Combination Lock Safe that only one Company could crack? That same Company shouldn’t be coerced to help provide Law Enforcement information in a case involving twelve Murders?

Are iPhones some Sacred Device now?

My goodness, the TDS is out of control (tagline).

LOL! I'm a notorious FR Trumpkin, Kickass.

The cruzers hate my guts. :)

I was just pointing out that the move would be a POPULAR move, contrary to all the doomsayers thinking that Trump was going against the grain.

I myself would support it, for various reasons - but NOT because I'm a fan of over-reaching law enforcement.

Changed by whom, and why (or under what orders)?

I wouldn't put it past this administration to create the situation where freedom is pitted against false security in an effort to further extend the strong arm of the government. Given the 8 member supreme court and the possibility that the spineless twits in the Senate will approve Obama’s leftist nominee, this could be the case.

Or, it could be that someone wanted the information on that account hidden from the FBI for some reason.

Or, someone could have just screwed up, as the Federals are wont to do.

The Donald is my second choice behind Cruz, but you made me laugh...

Does this mean I owe you an Apology? If so, I humbly grovel at your feet and seek forgiveness.

I have to say, this entire Election Season is a KICK in the A$$. (get it?) LOL

Enjoy this very interesting day my FRiend.

No worries, FRiend! :)

Don't tell the cruzers, but Cruz is my second choice, like The Donald is your second choice... :)
