Signal is going to comply with warrants and anything else they’re legally obligated to provide. Is there evidence that they have access through other routes. Possibly but this doesn’t prove it one way or the other
Signal is end to end encrypted, meaning even with warrants and access to Signal's servers, the government can't see much.
You could argue that the government has a backdoor to whatever encryption algorithm Signal uses, however Signal is open source and if you wanted to you check that for yourself.
I think the most likely explanation is that either Tucker or the other guy's laptop or phone was hacked and the messages were intercepted that way.
Agree it's probably a back door in the phone itself. But then again Signal was stated by a bunch of folks with ties to the intel community so it's possible it's compromised. If I recall it's still centrally signed, not distributed e2e, so there's a vector.
At the time wire was far superior to signal. I haven't bothered keeping up in a while.
