Apple has always bragged about iMessage content being end-to-end encrypted, and thus inaccessible even to Apple. Why aren't they doing the same with email and other files, like other providers? (ProtonMail, to name one example)

It is technically impossible to end-to-end encrypt email.

Hmm, should they likewise look into J Kerry meeting with foreign diplomats whilst not being in the then current administration too?

Only if he pretended to represent the US administration. Did he do that? Otherwise it's just a private citizen meeting with foreign diplomats, which happens all the time and there's nothing nefarious about that.

I am only surprised child porn has not been found on her computer yet. And there is no report from some hotel room cleaner that he or she was raped by Elbakyan. Those "stolen" military secrets published in journals anyone can purchase for a few bucks does not even sounds scary. Apparently FBI got lazy these days, maybe because of all that Covid mess.

They did this to Rudy Guilliani too. FBI was going into his iCloud for over a year. What makes it more egregious was that Guilliani was Trump's lawyer during the impeachment. So the government was both prosecuting him, and spying on his defence's lawyers private emails with his client. If they can do it to a presidents lawyer with no consequences. They can do it to anyone.

Are we sure this actually happened? The only source I'm finding on this is Giuliani himself.
