Look, idiot, Comey's statement is
Exactly how many times does such an idiot as you need to be told that if it is
it has no legal existence!
Please show us where FBI Director James Comey is an IT expert who has the legal expertise who can make such a sweeping statement that "the software would only work on the jihadi's device" and know and swear that a technical fact that it would be true. You cannot, because FBI Director James Comey is NOT an IT expert and he cannot. As an IT expert, FBI Director James Comey probably didn't even stay at a Holiday Inn the previous night.
Finally, idiot, the challenge was to show, in the court order, your contention the section of the COURT ORDER where you claim it states unequivocally that Apple can keep the iPhone. You claim you have posted this section. I say it doesn't exist. Post it. Show us. You are claiming a legal impossibility! IDIOT. LIAR.
It is a statement of intent from the highest reaches of FBI authority. If Apple was under the impression that they could not petition for a clarification or modification of the court order, then they are a bunch of fools who need to fire their lawyers.
What Comey said is in fact implied in the court order. It's under that section where they said Apple could use any means they wanted to accomplish the task.
It is implicit in the order that Apple has complete control over the process, you just refuse to read it that way because this interpretation makes Apple inc look like a bunch of Screaming fit throwers, which in fact is exactly what they were.
You must, in fact, read it as narrowly as suits you to justify your screaming bitchfit.
