Marc Zwillinger, top tech lawyer for Apple in several cases, is an ex-DoJ top tech lawyer.
Several of the Apple and amici lawyers are ex-USG, a stepping onto the golden stone -- a la Snowden Inc. -- to higher public service of just-us legally empowered spy-technoids rewards.
The 'amicus curiae brief' from lavabit was pretty unimpressive but of course as self-parody it was great. For instance, the legal geniuses who wrote the 'brief' argued that forcing apple to work for their partners, the government, would be 'involuntary servitude' (poor oppressed corporation). At the same time the master doctors cheerfully 'acknowledged' the supreme authority of the americunt konstitution and noted that 'involutary servitude' was perfectly 'legal', 'just' and 'amazing' in quite a few cases, to wit : "the conscription of americans into military service does not violate the 13th ammendment forced jury service is also not a violation preventing sailors who contracted to work from desserting their ship AND forced roadwork are not a violations of the 13th ammendment" https://cryptome.org/2016/03/usg-apple-102-105.pdf It seems clear that with this kind of 'freedom' 'fighters' freedom needs no enemies.
