Generally speaking, the hearing ended up being more about how the FBI plans to continue expanding its power and decreasing civil liberties. Comey wants a clean 702 reauth, even with the NSA shutting down part of the collection because it can‘t comply with the law otherwise. He wants legislators to hand him greater NSL powers, even though the FBI‘s history of NSL abuse is well-documented. And he still wants the government to solve his „going dark“ problem, even though the problem has been greatly exaggerated and no amount of harder nerding is going to generate a safe, government-only backdoor in encryption.
