Dem lawmaker calls on FBI to withdraw Apple demands
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] The Federal Bureau of Investigation should stop trying to compel Apple to break into one of the company's own devices, a Democratic politician suggested on Tuesday."We should all take a deep breath and talk to each other, rather than use a lawsuit to circumvent the critical and necessary policy discussions," Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., wrote in a letter addressed to FBI Director James Comey. "The precedent set in this case would essentially enact a policy proposal to weaken encryption that has not yet gained traction in Congress and was previously rejected by the White House," he said, echoing language used last week by several Tammany hangers-on on the House Judiciary Committee.
