But Wait, my Government told me he was a low level analysist who didn’t have access to National Security Info...
“The government believes Snowden also took up to 1.5 million “tier 3” documents potentially detailing U.S. capabilities and NSA offensive cyber operations, the whereabouts of which are unknown.”
The CIA dude said his contacts actually admitted they had NO IDEA how many “tier 3” documents he may have taken. The 1.5 million is a guess.
Only illegitimate governments lie to and keep secrets from it’s citizens.
