Now why would he do that?
This is not making sense.
“...The Justice Department acknowledged in its court filing that the password of Syed Farook’s iCloud account had been reset. The filing states, “the owner [San Bernardino County Department of Public Health], in an attempt to gain access to some information in the hours after the attack, was able to reset the password remotely, but that had the effect of eliminating the possibility of an auto-backup.”
He reset the password but does not have the reset password? I hope he was sweating some good sized bullets by the time the FBI reamed him a new one.
