Edward Snowden accessed some secret national security documents by assuming the electronic identities of top NSA officials, said intelligence sources.
“Every day, they are learning how brilliant [Snowden] was,” said a former U.S. official with knowledge of the case. “This is why you don’t hire brilliant people for jobs like this. You hire smart people. Brilliant people get you in trouble.”

Fedgov was engaged in Unconstitutional and Illegal behavior. How else would it be brought to light or stopped?

What they mean is that you hire traitors who keep their mouths shut. The NSA is a greater threat to free America than any foreign enemy.
