It’s not what he leaked. It’s what they know he had access to on them that might be coming in the future. Let him testify in front of congress on c span. Then we can judge hero or traitor . You and I have little to hide in comparison.
Testify in front of Congress is dangerous, unless you happen to be an elite, like hillary, panetta, etc.
“You and I have little to hide in comparison”
Well, many of us built those systems. We know what they are capable of and what they are used for. We’ve known for decades this wasn’t going to end well. It went from targeting those that presented themselves as dangers to this nation to political tools, but we all knew that is where such systems always end up, in the hands of politicians. It starts within the system, with people seeing the political power such information can bring, then finding small ways to provide the information for personal gain, such as promotions. Then those small advantages become larger until it reaches the Whitehut and Congress and then the Generals and civilian executives in charge are all hand picked based on politics and the information and its collection systems are compromised politically.
It was always our biggest fear. It has happened.
