Bull, Congress knew it. Obama is more a crimanal then ED. What happen to freedom of speech?
There is NO freedom of speech to tell something you were given under secrecy orders.
There are secrets that need to be kept, and people need to know them, and therefore we need to punish those who cannot keep these secrets, otherwise we will have no secrets.
And if you want the Chinese to know how to take out our defense systems, how to build our airplanes, how to listen in to our frequencies, how we can track their submarines — then I guess we don’t need secrets, and you can support any idiot who wants to divulge them.
We will not survive as a nation if every individual decides for themselves what secrets should be kept, and which ones should be revealed.
Congress not only knew something about it, they authorized it. Doesn’t mean they knew exactly what was happening. Of course, we only know what Snowden wanted us to know, so we are in no real position to make a final judgement.
Except it is easy to judge that people with classified access should NOT be telling the Chinese our secrets.
I should think that conservatives could agree on that simple point.
