Well, everything apart from the secret stuff:

"I filed a FOIA request "NSA, NIST, and post-quantum cryptography" in March 2022. NIST stonewalled, in violation of the law. Civil-rights firm Loevy & Loevy filed a lawsuit on my behalf.

That lawsuit has been gradually revealing secret NIST documents, shedding some light on what was actually going on behind the scenes, including much heavier NSA involvement than indicated by NIST's public narrative"

Thing is... no lawsuit will ever reveal documents directly against the USA's national interest.

Every single document will be reviewed by a court before being opened up, and any which say "We did this so we can hoodwink the public and snoop on russia and china" won't be included.

Ever since Snowdon we know it's actually "hoodwink the public and snoop on the public"

Russia and China are just an excuse.
