- murjinsee 11y agoThis is how it sounds to me. I think it is naive to assume Mr. Gates' character is so one-dimensional. He is a critical thinker; I'm sure he realizes the dichotomy he presents is BS. He wants to protect his legacy. Mr. Cook, on the other hand, I truly feel is using this issue for a little free (minus legal fees) publicity, and to tell the FBI not to make such a big, public stink if they want cooperation. Like a contract negotiation. It's easy to believe in someone who says what we want to hear, but necessary to question their motivations. Honne and tatemae, pure and simple.
