Bringing them in to investigate a breach is akin to letting the police be … the police in an arson case. You're confusing talk of encryption backdoors (which are truly bad ideas) with his suggestion for companies to work closely with the FBI (which may or may not be a bad suggestion; given how political the bureau can be I'd be concerned).

True enough. But even that doesn't matter: it's impossible to get rid of strong encryption; thus the FBI and everyone else must learn to live with it.
