Attorney General Bill Barr said Monday that Apple failed to provide "substantive assistance" in unlocking two iPhones

Why should they?

Way back when George W Bush was pushing The Patriot Act, some folks thought that was a dangerous thing. A step too far. I admit, I was not one of those people. It seemed to me that maybe we needed the Patriot Act. We wanted to beat the terrorists, didn't we? Well, I was wrong. Clearly, the government got too much power and used that power to spy on citizens.

Bill Barr is a disappointment to me.

Here’s what I think, Mr. Barr.

If you don’t want to be locked out of terrorists’ phones after they’ve terrorized, THEN STOP INVITING TERRORISTS INTO THE COUNTRY!

SEEMS PRETTY DAMNED SIMPLE!

Same here. At the time I thought the Patriot act sounded like a good idea. Wrong big time. The Bushes were a disaster for this country, both of them.

I believe Barr is pushing apple for the SAME reason and that is to expand government power and set precedent. Barr is a deep stater, through and through. Two damaged iphones from terrorists is not a reason to go public with this issue demanding apple compromise every iphone and expose all Americans to even more government intrusion.

The single biggest threat to America is our own government. Government power must be whole sale rolled back decades asap.
