Last week FBI Director James Comey at the Boston College conference on cybersecurity stated:
While that quote in the article is taken out of context, it is even more disturbing when taken in context. The included video puts the quote in context where Comey is arguing against widespread access to strong encryption with the public. There are other quotes included as well that are just as disturbing, such as:
Even our communications with our spouses, with our clergy members, with our attorneys are not absolutely private in America... ...In appropriate circumstances, a judge can compel any one of us to testify in court about those very private communications.
Is this the "adult conversation" on encryption he was getting ready for last year?

Hahahahah...despite your shallow threats, your death rattle [theintercept.com] is close at-hand.
Lies and propaganda have worked in the past, but folks are too smart for that now. We have the U.S. military and the Excalibur of truth on our side.
You have nothing but a bunch of self-destructive indoctrinist bullshit and a bunch of wimps who until now were calling the Constitution an antiquated document and firearms evil incarnate. Well, we were calling your KKK-style attacks on free-speech evil incarnate, and now all of a sudden your kind are in support of the very things you hated now that you're at the losing end. You're worse than the most ignorant backwater flyover rednecks, because they had principles and stuck to them while you betrayed yours in an instant.
This is gonna be good.

Eth...you're starting to forget the first rule of drug dealing, which is your case should read "don't huff your own jenkem." You're trying too hard.
I am "that girl" your mother warned you about...

You're right that it will be good... You're just mistaken as to who will prevail in the end. Yup the Republicans are doing really "good" jobs at the propaganda. Good was in scare quotes. They are failing miserably. No wall to save us from the big bad Mexican rapists, they didn't put the most corrupt politician since the other Clinton in jail, twice failed to save us from Radical Islamic Terrorists, no trumpdontcare to save us from the abysmal failure of ACA and no budget to save us from the horror of a run away deep state. The Orange One is burning bridges in his own party and will stand naked and alone when the inevitable happens and the moderate Republicans (it's not an oxymoron as much as it sounds like it) stop putting up with his impulsivity and stop protecting him.
But you have swallowed his lies aka campaign promises like they where candy because you hate those damn librils so damned much it makes you soooo angry. You have anger issues and a loose grasp of reality. You don't listen to me now but remember my words. You will regret your beloved party ever having sold its soul to the proverbial devil. Enjoy your fun while we try to stop this train wreck.

Surrender, lefty.
You can speak all the words you want to, but your buddies will still act violently against free speech. Let them do so. If they had been moderate and constitutionalists in the first place, we would not be in this situation. There would not be a backlash agsinst your kind, because we would not be physically attacking each other. We would have been in a moderate America united against extremist speech where people united for their own best interests fought against a common enemy. They would have put up a winning battle to fight for a winning candidate not anointed by the elites.
But no, your buddies fellated the party line and dug their own grave and now they must sleep in it...or fight a losing battle against those who know how to fight. And, hint: your buddies don't know how to fight. Leftists are effeminate faggots who know how to show up to a rally. Rightists have military and other combat training.
You can work with us, or against us...but rightists have our best interests in mind and extend the glad hand for you to help us to find a common-ground. We're not useful idiots like you are.
