There's no evidence for any of that. Our politicians can't even figure out how to secure their emails. If they cooked up such a grand conspiracy, these days, it would get out. Anyway that's CIA level stuff, not politicians. Not even the same ballpark. The current state of the case suggests Apple's phones aren't 100% secure. The FBI found a way in without Apple. What happens next in your view? The FBI brings another case against a new model of an Apple phone and Apple wins? And then meanwhile, behind the scenes, FBI agents everywhere are unlocking the next iPhone without the public ever finding out? I don't think so. That's too complicated. Occam's razor. There is more truth in what politicians say than you realize. It isn't all true but one rotten idea doesn't spoil the bunch. Individual people are complicated, but collectively we don't work together or maneuver so quickly.
