Sen. Feinstein on Edward Snowden: "The chase is on"
CBS News' Face The Nation ^ | June 23, 2013 | Lindsey Boerma

"The chase is on," Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said Sunday on "Face the Nation," after the former National Security Agency contractor wanted by the United States for leaking top-secret government surveillance programs reportedly arrived in Moscow early Sunday morning from Hong Kong, where he had been hiding.

"I think it's a very big surprise," Feinstein said. "I had actually thought that China would see this as an opportunity to improve relations and extradite him to the United States. China clearly had a role in this, in my view. I don't think this was just Hong Kong without Chinese acquiescence."

The United States "doesn't know what happened," CBS News White House correspondent Major Garrett explained, having crafted under the extradition treaty charges that would be applicable in Hong Kong. "It put together what it said and thought were really good charges that represented everything we could legally prosecute Edward Snowden under," Garrett said, "thought there was an agreement with the Hong Kong authorities.

"...It looks like there was a technicality," he continued....

Hope he’s buys a fast car, puts on his lead boots, and takes a long long drive.

We should be chasing Senators to the water’s edge.

Hope Snowden gets away so they don’t murder him.

though. I know his life will always be living with fear.

Hope he tells more on our politicians. Hope he has the proof to help to save his country or someone like that.

Yes, Democrats really are that stupid. When you are arrogant it’s for you to fathom that somebody would disagree with your viewpoint. This is China and Russia’s way of saying, “high-powered Democrats you ain’t all that and next you file extradition papers hire a competent person to write up the paperwork.”

The chase should be on to replace you in the Senate. I can only hope.

"I think it's a very big surprise," Feinstein said. "I had actually thought that China would see this as an opportunity to improve relations and extradite him to the United States.

And I thought Congress would see this as an opportunity to question and roll back this administration's ability to spy on US citizens without a warrant. But the US has changed fundamentally, and for the worse. Most citizens apparently see no problem in the federal government having unfettered access to their private communications. And if the issue ever got to the Supreme Court, our "conservative" Chief Justice would probably discover a constitutional right for the government to record every word ever spoken by any American during their lifetimes.

Does she really believe China (or Russia) are just searching for opportunities to kiss the US Government's behind?

Why not? She has a ton of people following her around, search for opportunities to kiss her behind.

Old habits are hard to break.

The United States “doesn’t know what happened,”

That sentence has been the case for five years and counting.

Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein...

There's an oxymoron in there... or perhaps just a plain moron.

The woman actually used to appear smarter than she is now and was one of the more conservative Dems once upon a time. She actually supported the military and was very pro-Israel.

But once she got into licking Obama’s toes (who knows why?) she became a total nutcase.

JAIL?

She said they've played a role in disrupting more than 50 terrorist plots,

Where are the convicts of the many plots?

In a new secret jail?

Or simply released on Double Secret Probation?

“He took an oath...”

So did you lady. An oath to defend the constitution including the bill of rights. But when you didn’t like a first amendment decision, you tried and almost changed the bill of rights on your whim! now all that nonsense about a wall separating the data, about no names given—hey guess what, we have all used reverse phone listings from internet white pages.

oh and btw happy 80 bday! I will send my call detail records older than 7 years and use em to wrap a fresh load just for you.

The funniest part of all of this is Feinstein and the media keep “confirming” what Snowden says is true by talking stupid about it every chance they get.
