I've had it in for Comey since way back in the day, when he was FBI director and ran a campaign to try to make encryption illegal, because he considered it "criminally suspicious". Just because I encrypt Granny's Top Secret Oatmeal Cookie Recipe ™ , that doesn't mean it's "criminally suspicious", or that there is anything illegal in it. It just means it's MINE, not Comey's, and he can't have it.
It's that "you can't have it" part that stuck in his craw, not anything illegal. Neither the government in general, nor the FBI in particular, have any rights at all to my private stuff. It's mine, not theirs, and they can't have it.
Encryption makes that possible, despite what they wish to create in their Deep Surveillance State.
