With all the hubbub surrounding Russia and DNC's leaked emails, and who talked to who when over the last year, I wonder if we'll start to see all political players incentivized to embrace encrypted communications. While messages will still inevitably leak (compromised endpoints, human factors), perhaps we will never see the like of '16-'17 again (doubly so if Russia proves to be 45's undoing).

With the recent paranoia of leaks, politicians now have a legitimized cover story for the use of apps like Signal, Confide, and the like.
