Was just reading this. I wouldn’t be surprised if the government threatened to hit him with as many counts of conspiracy as e-mails Snowden had sent if they didn’t close down.
Whatever Snowden leaked, was probably very, very important. I bet the information he still has is likely even more important.
The government will go to any lengths to protect it’s perceived right to do anything it wants because it has (a perceived right) to OUR money (i.e., taxes). And with secret courts, nothing is beyond their capability! Wait...isn’t that what they do in communist countries?
