It is technically impossible to end-to-end encrypt email.
PGP begs to differ.
The other person you are communicating with has to use PGP for the e-2-e to work.

Let’s be real. There was a trump Russia thing. It’s beyond sketchy to have your campaign manager and his aid literally provide internal polling data to Russian intelligence. And Russia was undeniably trying to help trump win, and trump was undeniably pleased that was happening. I don’t get why people deny this happened.
Can you provide a source on that claim of polling data to Russian intelligence?
His own lawyers admitted to it in documents they tried (and failed) to redact:
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/manafort...
Because apparently we're going to pretend that NBCnews is somehow not a reputable news source, the link to the actual document so we can stop trying to change the subject:
https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5677512/Manafort-...
Page 6, copy and paste the blacked out text:
>The same is true with regard to the Government’s allegation that Mr. Manafort lied about sharing polling data with Mr. Kilimnik related to the 2016 presidential campaign. (See Doc. 460 at 6). The simple fact that Mr. Manafort could not recall, or incorrectly recalled, specific events from his past dealings with Mr. Kilimnik – but often (after being shown or told about relevant documents or other evidence) corrected himself or clarified his responses – does not support a determination that he intentionally lied.

Yes, it went to full trial in the senate. Where he was ultimately not found guilty. The legal process played out. But not before the prosecuting team was found to have been doctoring evidence against him. By adding a blue checkmark to tweets, they were then using to try and convict him. Its what happens when people try to use the ends justifies the means thinking.
Not really sure what you're prattling on about, I haven't used Twitter in the better half of a decade. Either way, Giuliani is the dude who tried jerking off in the Borat movie. You're going to have a hard time convincing America that he's some sort of bastion of innocence, and that we should really care about how poorly the system is treating an old white man defending another old white man. There are bigger metapho…
I posted to corroborate that FBI is able to access iCloud accounts, with what appears to me, minimal legal oversight.
Not really trying to convince anyone. But even the best arguments only fall on reasonable people's ears.
That would be a heavy burden to try convince someone that gets their world view from Borat, based on a staged scene in a fictional movie. You are right.
On a side note, tricking people to laugh at them, and to make money from their moment of ambush, and racial stereotypes is gross on many levels.
Instead of viewing people as only representatives of some ethnic group like "white man". Try treating them as individuals. People very more inside an ethnic group anyway. Perhaps your scorn should be directed towards tall people, or short people, the intersectional list is endless.

Let me rephrase, who is trying to take this down and has sufficient leverage to have the FBI focused on this instead of the multitude of other important things they could be doing.

RELX is certainly big enough to do this:

#205The FBI has shown that it will doctor emails in order to get FISA warrants. This fact is subverted by the narrative that one person was caught doing it, as if to imply that he woke up one morning and chose to do it all on his own.

#206Who have vested interests in stopping something like sci-hub?
I'm fairly certain that it's not the authors of the papers. Hiding away research behind paywalls and subscriptions is extremely weird and counter productive to free and open research. If you know that a paper exists, you can just email the authors and ask if they'll send you a pdf. My guess is that most will just send it to you, along with instructions on how to correctly cite them. Years ago I had a Danish universit…
So far I have not met a researcher who held the opinion that sci-hub is a bad thing.
Actually the way I learnt about sci-hub a few years ago was when I asked an acquaintance of mine whether he'd share a copy of a paper he co-wrote with me, what I got from him was a sci-hub link.

If the FBI wanted to catch spies, I bet they could find a few at Los Alamos labs. I’m sure there are. Besides, military contractors are constantly “inadvertently” sending classified materials to questionable third parties and get fined at most and no one gets prosecuted and sent to the penn.
"I bet they could find a few at Los Alamos labs". They have, but unfortunately they get innocent people and lock them in solitary confinement for months eventually resulting in $1.6 million dollar pay outs and presidential apologies to the accused.[1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wen_Ho_Lee
I can't find anything in your link about presidential apologies. The judge in his case apologised:
Lee pleaded guilty to one felony count of illegal "retention" of "national defense information." In return, the government released him from jail and dropped the other 58 counts against him. Judge Parker apologized to Dr. Lee for the unfair manner in which he was treated. The judge also regretted being misled by the executive branch into ordering Dr. Lee's detention, stating that he was led astray by the Department of Justice, by its FBI, and by its United States attorney. He formally denounced the government for abuse of power in its prosecution of the case.[20][21][22] Later, President Bill Clinton remarked that he had been "troubled" by the way Dr. Lee was treated.[23][24][25][26]

Buddy, you're the person who's comment history is full of begging people to investigate hallucinative realities and conspiracy theories. Maybe you'd be better received on Facebook, or perhaps a place like Tik-Tok where they respect hysteria.

The "government" didn't make any such statement. A lawyer who was a longtime friend of Rudy came out and made a claim that was never corroborated or even acknowledged by the government, by the looks of it. Remember, it'll be fine in the end. The RNC's push to eliminate domestic encryption ensures a future where everyone has access to Giuliani's iCloud!
I did not claim "government: made a statement". The government need not make statements when they disclose information to counsel, typically they don't. As per article, the government declined comment. If Rudy is friends with is own Lawyer is irrelevant.
> If Rudy is friends with is own Lawyer is irrelevant.
Cool! By that logic, we'll stack the jury with people who hate him, since obviously personal relationships don't matter in the legal system. How do you think that case will turn out, Atticus Finch?

Seems more malicious than lazy.
Of course it’s malicious. In context they were making a tongue-in-cheek joke intended to expose those that never heard about the MLK letter(s) to their existence. In other news, I only learned about the assassination of Fred Hampton quite recently. That’s a fun one.
