FBI told San Bernardino County staff to tamper with gunman's Apple account
2016-02-21
The government screws up and blames a private corporation. Typical...
The San Bernardino County government on Friday night said the FBI told its staff to tamper with the Apple account of Syed Farook, who with his wife, Tashfeen Malik, carried out the December shooting in which 14 people were killed.

The development matters because the change made to the account – a reset of Farook’s iCloud password – made it impossible to see if there was another way to get access to data on the shooter’s iPhone without taking Apple to court.

“The county was working cooperatively with the FBI when it reset the iCloud password at the FBI’s request,” read a post on San Bernardino County’s official Twitter account.

#6  Long past time to fire all government employees, disband all federal agencies (along with all of the politicians) and start over.

#5  Rank incompetence and abuse of power at the FBI. I think we have lost them too. They were the last hold-out.

#4  From the same bureaucrats like the EPA who dump tons of toxic waste into the water supply of CO and NM. Blame the other guy. Not to be confused with the Forest Service people who actually burned down Los Alamos, cause their schedule was more important than drought and weather conditions. No one will get fired. Repeal the Civil Service Act. At least then we can hold your elected officials personally responsible.

#2  Besoeker. I think somebody already did. It was, iirc, Russian intel.
But...The FBI figured "You're not the boss of me," and dismissed any evidence they found, which, apparently, was zilch anyway.

#1  If you see these two fellas, give your local FBI office a call. They're up to no good. Virtually anything could happen.
