<....They’ve trashed the 4th Amendment for no good reason”.....>
They would disagree with you that is without good reason....they can and will justify or escape that reasoning as we have many times seen and heard.
<...” I don’t happen to believe our Nat’l Security is in jeopardy at all as result of Snowden’s revelation”....>
Snowden showed our adversaries what our capabilities are....and every time a news story is printed it furthers that to all the ears looking and listening.....thus they change their tactics and forms of communication. Even the dummie terrorists become more cautious and careful...thus limiting our ability to know what they are doing.
Now, he is informing the Chinese about “who,” “what,” and “where” the USA was spying on the Chinese....and then PROVIDED them with Intelligence “Documents” to support this.
To say he’s innocent of being a Nat’l Security threat is a huge mistake.....and who will he next reveal “secrets”, better left as secrets, to??????
Who exactly have verified that charge and claim that Snowden has "showed our adversaries what our capabilities are"? Jay Carney? Clapper? Boehner? The "Snowden = 'Traitor'" meme is the only card they have to play.
*IF* a low-level grunt actually possesses has THAT kind of knowledge, then how many tens of thousands of others potentially possess it?
No, this is the false narrative of a desperate guv and Police State caught with its collective anti-4th Amendment fangs in the cookie jar; The same one whose false CYA narrative will be parroted by the usual suspects within the state-owned MSM along with various allies and enablers of glorious bi-partisan Big Guv Statism everywhere.
Dummie terrorists, smart terrorists, illegal invaders, and subversives of all kinds will operate with the same impunity and lack of fear as they ALWAYS have.
Now, he is informing the Chinese about “who,” “what,” and “where” the USA was spying on the Chinese....and then PROVIDED them with Intelligence “Documents” to support this.
RED HERRING. Again -- can you provide the source(s) that claim low-level intel grunt Snowden possesses classified docs and info that endanger and expose American security AND is indeed passing them on to the ChiComs? Heck -- if the ChiComs really want to know something of REAL importance, they'll merely buy any number of willing treasonous Congressmen, Senators, and double-agents already engaged in industrial/tech espionage.
