Comey = Traitor or Idiot

Anyone with rudimentary knowledge of cryptography knows all cryptographic systems have one glaring weakness - the brute force attack. Given enough time and resources all messages can be broken and read. Also, it is likely (more like a certainty) that any commonly used system has implementation errors that weaken it. Now the esteemed traitor/idiot wants in add a backdoor (implementation error) and expects no one will look for.
