Does WhatsApp implement perfect forward secrecy? If not, and if Stone had messages set to disappear, might be more fruitful to pick up the traffic on an intercept, then pull the local key from the device.
That’s not a rhetorical question—I assume someone knows & can answer in less time than it’d take me to hunt down specs for the app...
Ok, scratch that theory—they do implement PFS. (Thanks @guan)
The simplest possibility is Mueller just didn’t have PC for a broad enough search until recently. Seems like a heavy lift to get from “false testimony” to device searches. So could be some element not even referenced in the indictment.

Blaming “Google” or “Facebook” for journalism’s problems is a lot line blaming Craigslist: The fundamental problem is the Internet making some aspect of the traditional business model unviable; the company’s more messenger than cause.
If Craig Newmark had decided to sell yoga pants for a living, it would still be ludicrous to think classified ads & personals would stay bundled to newspapers, a phenomenon completely tied to the economics of newsprint & physical distribution.
You can point to specific things Facebook in particular did that probably made things worse. But the core problems are a function of the disappearance on economic & technical constraints on information consumption. Breaking up FB doesn’t bring those back.

Most interesting thing to my mind in the Stone indictment: There’s a direct quote where Stone asks to move a sensitive conversation to an encrypted channel, but all the other references are to plaintext e-mails or SMS conversations.
Obvious question: Did Mueller have access to Stone’s WhatsApp messages or other encrypted channels? One obvious reason to lie about whether he had written comms with Corsi or Credico would be to forestall a subpoena or warrant for those comms.
This *implies* that they did, or at least learned the substance of the WhatsApp communication, but seems conspicuously vague about how, relative to other descriptions. We go from the specific “texted” or “sent an e-mail” to the more nebulous “told.”

Not sure why Kushner is the headline. The real story is “clearance determinations by career experts are very, very rarely overruled, and it’s happened 30 times for Trump WH staff.” nbcnews.com/politics/donal…
Forget Kushner. THIS is crazy. And I say this as someone who thinks they’re normally a bit too skittish about denying clearences on thin grounds.
Just a reminder—@ashk4n, who is a brilliant security expert, wanted to use his rare talents in service of the country, but had to leave a White House job, probably because he has relatives in Iran & consulted with WaPo on Snowden articles.

Report stage of the #legisl8 bill has resumed where we left it off last night: Carol Nolan's amendments which seek to ban abortion as a public health service and make women pay, except for in cases where the woman's life is at risk.
Mattie McGrath is complaining that anti-abortion TDs are being portrayed as delaying the bill. Danny Healy Rae is also now speaking, to also complain about being portrayed as holding up the bill.
Michael Collins is also now on his feet, to speak on this amendment for the second time. He claims that pro-choice TDs were using "bully boy tactics" last night, and he is very unhappy about it. Michael Healy Rae says he thinks there were personal attacks against Carol Nolan.

Oh boy I feel a #twitch mentality discussion coming on.
Somebody stop me before it becomes a #thread .
Seriously 'gaming' the system. 'grind' . 'harming numbers' im seeing a lot of these terms. And don't even get me started on the 'leave your link and ill check out' stuff.
TOO LATE! Alright, I was saving this for a series of videos, but whatever - feels good to vent. First off, I know - who am I?
This Non-partner idiot talking like he has a clue about anything.
Valid point. And to be honest one I don't have the answer to.
This is only what I FEEL - and what I
believe. And compared to the 80,0000 folks I see per day randomly spamming Bullshit in desperation for 'the grind'? hell - I'd say a belief carrys
at least some weight.

Some general comments about #WhatsApp forwards (especially during emergencies). Please try and verify news, before blindly forwarding. (1/n)
Google for more details, check multiple sources, VALIDATE against Websites/Twitter/Facebook feeds of 'official', 'verified' entities. (2/n)
When forwarding information, try and avoid plane text (it has no validating authority or time-stamp). Instead forward validated links. (3/n)
