Even with lawsuits pending they stonewall and delete critical files related to suits... FBI deletes details about hacking effort in document releaseFN, Published January 07, 2017 The FBI has released 100 pages of heavily censored documents related to its agreement with an unidentified vendor to hack into an iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino, California, shooters, but it did not identify whom it paid to perform the work or how much it cost. The records were provided Friday in response to a federal lawsuit filed against the FBI by The Associated Press, Vice Media and Gannett, the parent company of USA Today. The media organizations sued in September to learn how much the FBI paid and who it hired to break into the phone of Syed Rizwan Farook, who along with his wife killed 14 people at a holiday gathering of county workers in December 2015. The FBI for weeks had maintained that only Apple Inc. could access the information on its phone, which was protected by encryption, but ultimately broke or bypassed Apple's digital locks with the help of an unnamed third party. The FBI, in its records release Friday, censored critical details that would have shown how much the FBI paid, whom it hired and how it opened the phone. The files had been marked "secret" before they were turned over under the lawsuit. www.foxnews.com/us/2017/01/07/fbi-deletes-details-about-hacking-effort-in-document-release.html

And the Senate is so full of Constitutionally lazy politicians that just nod their heads in agreement and move on... Comey should be sitting in a prison cell right next to his bosses. James Comey refuses to tell Senate if FBI is investigating Trump-Russia links FBI director: ‘I would never comment on investigations in an open forum’, Response stuns senators after his public remarks on Clinton’s email case
Spencer Ackerman in New York, Tuesday 10 January 2017 16.46 EST, Last modified on Wednesday 11 January 2017 11.14 EST The director of the FBI – whose high-profile interventions in the 2016 election are widely seen to have helped tip the balance of against Hillary Clinton – has refused to say if the bureau is investigating possible connections between associates of President-elect Donald Trump and Russia. Testifying before the Senate intelligence committee on Tuesday, James Comey said he could not comment in public on a possible investigation into allegations of links between Russia and the Trump campaign. “I would never comment on investigations – whether we have one or not – in an open forum like this, so I really can’t answer one way or another,” said Comey, at a hearing into the US intelligence agencies’ conclusion that Russia intervened in the election to benefit Trump. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jan/10/james-comey-trump-russia-links-investigation-senate
