Somehow I was thinking that I read somewhere that Richman was brought in to the FBI to work on the "Going Dark" initiative. I'm not sure my thinking is correct, but the dot-connecting for me occurred when I was reading the Rybicki Testimony to congress. I even posted about it here at the time...see post below:

I even posted a link post to a doc I found about the Going Dark initiative and got gripes about not posting links to "pdf" without alerting...so watch out cuz the below post about the Going Dark initiative is a link to a "pdf" document:

So, imagine my surprise when I read footnote 66 in this latest Comey OIG report:

"66 Richman's appointment date as an SGE was June 30, 2015. Richman said his work as an SGE involved assisting in matters related to “challenges to law enforcement and intelligence collection from increasing end-to-end encryption and automatization practices across various tech spaces.” He said he received “no money” for this work and “stopped doing any outside work in order...[to comply with] the requirements of an SGE status.” As an SGE, Richman had an active security clearance up to the TS/SCI level. Richman's resigned as an SGE in February 2017, but his security clearance remained active until he was debriefed and “read out” by the FBI on July 12, 2017. "

No mention of Going Dark.

Hmmmmm.
