US government: We can jail you indefinitely for not decrypting your data

I can bet top dollar. The U.S Government or Department of Justice has already since decrypted or crackedt the encryption on the hard drive. In doing so they were unable to find what they were searching for. However, DOJ is convinced a crime did take place. The federal government is now playing a cat and mouse game in hoping Francis Rawls and his Attorneys cave in and accept a plea deal or provide the encryption password (Which the DOJ has already cracked) to cave into a plea deal because the DOJ knows they do not have a strong case.

The United States Government with Billions of dollars pumped into the FBI cannot crack a simple hard drive!? Nonsense!
