I am in the other camp. Snowden is a traitor...

There is a story out there that Snoden was a CIA plant that was there to discredit the NSA. I say Gitmo until proven innocent.

POTUS should have far more information on Snowden than Federalist.

How dare Snowden expose our IC of domestic spying. One would be foolish to think that the collected data would ever be used to subvert a politician they don’t approve of.

It’s unpatriotic to think that the FBI and CIA are corrupt to the core. /S

Your country has been stolen from you by the people exposed by Snowden.

The author is most likely a natural born citizen, it's just that his last name translates into Carton

Take for example Kurt Schlichter, whose ancestors came from Germany.

Here are examples of what his last name translates into:

https://en.bab.la/dictionary/german-english

Seeschlichter

Translation Examples: Note that the left side is the German side, so you want to go to right side which is the English side

Example Schlichter means conciliator

It also means simpler

Plus plainer, (einfacher) in German

It also means Umpire, and Referee.

I hope I didn't confuse you.

I agree that Snowden is a hero to the American people and should be pardoned.

Our Founding Fathers were traitors, too. What they did was for the greater good.

don’t agree but we can agree to not agree... Reality Winner not the same...she revealed things she didn’t agree with NOT things that were illegal AGAINST United States citizens according to the Constitution. Snowden should be pardoned and by the way there is ZERO evidence Snowden handed stuff over to the Chinese.

2013, Eli Lake.

Daily Beast has some ok eggs, Eli Lake was one of them.

Daily Beast now more radicalized. Different ballgame.

You don’t have the facts Kaslin. You’re taking a pot shot and you have no idea why you’re supporting Snowden other than it seems fashionable. You’re being conditioned ‘programmed’ to accept Snowden as an object of sympathy. You don’t know the facts.

There’s Brennan, there’s Admiral Mike Rogers facets to this Snowden fairytale in the making.

And here’s more, ‘The Federalist’ is fairly good but has deep state elements in its makeup. Not all is as it seems.

It’s supposedly illegal to classify information as a means to hide illegal activity by the government. The information Snowden had showed wholesale violations of our Natural Rights. Would that not be the very definition of a whistleblower?

I agree. With the government corruption out of the roof, seems that there is no other means to bring the truth out.

Watch #32 link above.

NSA has a lot of incredibly patriotic people, but they were infiltrated.

They were infiltrated because their technology became so advanced that their rivals were put on a path to obsolescence and they had to do something about it.

Think Manhattan Project.

I will post a more comprehensive timeline later.

Until then, I would advise you and all others to hold everything you see, everything you hear, everything, everything coming at you as ‘news’, as ‘information’, hold it in suspicion.

There are agendas at work that you don’t see.

Sit back, don’t judge, just sit back and say “I’ll see what happens.”

If people can disallow their minds to be manipulated and ‘shaped’, if they can unite and cross their arms saying “We’ll see”, that will send the most terrifying message ever to the enemies of the United States.

Trump has already opened many millions of people’s eyes as to just how untrustworthy the media is.

I totally agree.

The Deep State hates Trump, Snowden & Assange.

Pardon Snowden & Assange for publishing about the Deep State’s crimes.

Snowjob exposed nothing NEW about DOMESTIC intercept; all of it had been on the public domain for decades.

He exposed our FOREIGN intercept Methods and Means - something the MSN skipped over.
