They were directed by Russians and the parents of
two terrorists to REAL ISLAMIC TERRORISTS and instead
they ignored the warnings, possibly removed the data
and sigint, AND THEN went after Tea Party, Veterans,
and Conservatives.

... and the info went to Obama and the Clintons and
Pelosi and the DNC FOREVER for abuse, for and worse.

Exactly. Even though he is breaking laws, he is exposing an even more egregious breaking of laws by government agencies. Buy him a steak dinner and give the real law breakers blindfolds and last cigarettes.

Just as there is nothing more dangerous than a killer with a badge, there is also nothing more dangerous than a government without a moral compass.

People need to be jailed for this. Nixon only bugged his own office and phone. This was nation-wide. Where are the prosecutors? When the rule of law can no longer be trusted there are few options remaining.

So after Snowden came out and the media had some time to digest his disclsoures, certain syncophants came out publicly to say that he was lying because no agent would have the capability to listen in on anyone’s conversation. They were just collating “metadata”.

So all we need is one political appointee, who pressures the NSA to hire a kid with no real background, and weeks later with a clearance....the kid gives us every single phone call between Pelosi and the top twenty Democrats? Man, this is like tossing sticks of dynamite into a lake and just picking up the fish later.

It would seem like every Senator and Congressman ought to be shaking in fear at the extent of payback in the future.

And the Chinese? If we are getting the data....there’s a ninety percent chance that they are getting an exact copy of it.

When the Dems, the MSM, and the GOPelite leadership are all condemning the guy and calling him a traitor, you know he hit onto something big.

Sort of like the ole classic: Throw a rock over the fence into the pig pen and the pig that squeals the loudest is the one that got hit.

Snowden has many in Washington squealing.

Watch the movie Enemy of the State with Gene Hackman and Will Smith, it pretty much tells it all in a nut shell, this goes way back.
