This is basically a political story. "You're stuck with me" is in reference to his conflicts both with the Obama administration last year and with the Trump administration this year; he's saying he intends to serve his full 10-year term.<p>Bear in mind, the "10 year term" the FBI Director serves is mostly enforced by norms. The FBI Director can be fired by the President or removed by Congress.
>Comey also reiterated a plea for technology companies to enable authorities to access encrypted data on mobile devices and in messaging apps.<p>At a "cyber" conference, whatever that means, but I assume it's the sort of place technology leaders will be hanging out. Aka, exactly the sort of people who would predictably react to his news that the FBI was unable to crack half of the devices they acquired through warrants with "oh, you were able to crack half? That's not good, we should increase security."<p>What's with the government's thick skull when it comes to what the technology community wants? I think the majority has been quite clear.
This kind of foolish quip is further evidence that this clown is not qualified to lead the FBI.<p>Leaders don't broadcast how people are "stuck" with them. This is what a dysfunctional middle manager burps out when their mouth is moving faster than their brain.<p>Fire this idiot.
