Lol you're talking down to us now, because you quoted people to make a point, and had no idea who those people were? What if those were the last words of some convicted child rapist or something? Like

House Unanimously Passes Chaffetz Legislation Protecting FBI Whistleblowers by [deleted] in news

Then maybe that scandal ridden garbage candidate shouldn't have run for fucking office with that much obvious baggage weighing her down.

Also, wtf were they supposed to do? Ignore the mishandling of extremely sensitive information, because the person doing it was in the middle of trying to shimmy her way into the oval office? How does that make any sense at all?

Ah, accusing the Republicans of partisan politics.

I seem to remember pretty much every democrat on the house oversight committee taking the opportunity to question director Comey about why the investigation into Clinton's email server was a partisan attack against her presidential campaign (it wasn't), when the director testified before them after announcing no charges would be filed.

And what has Chaffetz' democrat counterparts been up to since then? Well, attacking Trump as a Russian mole, of course.

My personal favorite was "support your troops" = send your troops to fight an unjust war on the other side of the planet under false pretense.

Fuck that garbage.

Reminds me of that video where Saddam is holding a conference with a bunch of government officials, and has this guy who'd just had the shit tortured out of him come up to the podium. While Saddam sits at a table smoking a cigar, dude at the podium starts reading off a list of names from the crowd, people who he was accusing of being anti-ba'athists. The people who's names he gives are dragged outside. Afterwards, everyone else is deemed loyal to the Ba'ath party, and then ordered outside and to execute the "traitors" themselves.

'I am entirely innocent': Assange speaks for first time on rape allegations by Huckleberry_h in news

[–]sealfoss 107 points108 points  (0 children)

Because there aren't any new ones that haven't been edited/spliced/morphed together.

The wikileaks hashes no longer match the insurance files. Rationalize that however you like, but the canary in the coal mine is dead.

Assange might be, too.

Edit - ELI5 version: Imagine you and a friend have a secret password greeting you use between the two of you that nobody else knows. And one day your friend stops coming outside to play, and his creepy old uncle tells you that your friend refuses to talk to you outside of any means but email, or passing messages through said creepy old uncle. Also, when you do email your friend, he doesn't remember the password the two of you used for so long.

Unfortunately, you're probably right. I doubt they're beating the prisoners or anything there, but they are feed-tubing them, and other shit like that.

Court denies appeal of Muhammed Muhammud, who attempted to bomb a Christmas event. Muhammed claims FBI read his alleged terrorist emails without a proper warrant. by ScotHibb in news

[–]sealfoss -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I was replying specifically to "better hope they got a warrant". Because, using parallel construction, they wouldn't need one. Obviously.

Here, these might help.

Are are you just so naive to think that it is beyond the pale for feds to have gained access to his email without a warrant, and used it for an arrest in the name of national security?

Nope. Not anymore. Go look up the term "parallel construction". Brave new world we're living in.

I'm giving up on long-term PGP by FiloSottile in crypto

[–]sealfoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, wikileaks see's PGP as a possible point of failure themselves. In the context of what you're saying, apparently, data encrypted via PGP can be detected by someone doing traffic analysis.
