> The FBI do not do private investigative services for important rich people, they investigate crimes.
I was under the distinct impression that hacking someone's phone was not legal.
EDIT: Also, I don't know about the FBI specifically, but I would expect there to be someone to investigate reports of foreign espionage. And I have a lot of questions about whether anything from this report can be used in court now, should they identify anyone who can be held accountable.
One last thing... isn't that also an implication that they think that keeping the contents of the phone secret is more important than national security? Just what else is on there?
