My wager is that they were not able to crack it, and that the reason it appears to be proceeding faster than a normal case is that it takes virtually no time to come up with a bluff, which was only created to allow them to save face in pulling out of a court case which would have set a pro-liberty precedent.
Bureaucracy does not move at the speed it would have to move for these government statements to be true.
Yeah, except for the fact that it is illegal for FBI agents to lie to the judge, and if they get caught, they will lose their careers and quite possibly their freedom.
I don't think they are lying to the Judge, and therefore they are not lying at all.
Interesting dynamic...
I hadn’t considered that reality. Nice alternative perception, and it makes some pretty good sense.
