| James Comey, Deputy Attorney General under President Bush |
Comey’s recent crusade against Apple is just the latest of many attempts to curtail our civil rights and invade our privacy in the name of national security - he has been endangering communities and security technology for decades.
He was instrumental in creating the vast domestic spy program that exists today. After 9/11, he authorized Bush’s massive, illegal domestic surveillance program and approved torture techniques like waterboarding. [1]
The FBI should protect the people: sign our open letter and tell Comey he’s out of control.
The government has access to more information and people now than ever. And yet, Comey insists he needs more. After lying to Congress about the need to sue Apple to build a backdoor into the iPhone, the FBI paid hackers over $1.3 million to access the San Bernadino iPhone. He’s since admitted that the lawsuit would have set a legal precedent that we know is dangerous, and we’re not alone.
Even the NSA thinks Comey is spying too hard.
Current and former NSA directors have spoken out against him. NSA Director Adm. Mike Rogers has called the FBI’s campaign against encryption a “waste of time.”[2] Rogers believes that end-to-end encryption is foundational to national security.
FBI Director Comey’s obsession with other people’s secrets could seriously harm our national security. Sign our petition telling him to resign.

The classified chapter of the 9/11 inquiry dealing with Saudi
Arabia, known as the “28 pages,” should stay secret because its contents
are “not corroborated, not vetted, and not deemed to be accurate,” CIA
Director John Brennan said.
"I think some people
may seize upon that uncorroborated, un-vetted information… to point to
Saudi involvement, which I think would be very, very inaccurate," he told NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday.The US has a “very strong relationship… across the board” with Saudi Arabia, said Brennan, who has dealt with the Saudis in many capacities during his career in the government.
