‘Snowden testimony would be a disaster’
Deutsche Welle ^ | 11/02/2013 | Gero Schließ

Posted on 11/02/2013 10:38:58 PM PDT by Olog-hai

“It would be a disaster for American-German relations if Snowden came to Germany and publicly testified before the Bundestag.” What Green MP Christian Ströbele ultimately is hoping for after his surprise visit with Edward Snowden in Moscow would be a nightmare for Stephen Szabo of the German Marshall Fund, as well for the Obama administration.

The relationship between the two countries is headed towards “a deep, downward spiral,” says Szabo. This must be stopped. If Snowden were to come to Germany with official blessing, the situation would escalate further, warns the long-time Germany expert and vice-president of the German Marshall Fund in Washington. …

I think Snowden and Obama should get a room.

They are in bed together

Hell! Invite the press corps
Have a big old party!

Lol. There are a few Stoormfronters who like him, but probably not the majority.

The bottom line is that Barack Obama is ABUSING his power and he is sabotaging certain means and methods so that the next guy will not have that power.

That might be a good thing in the long run, but He is not doing this stuff because he cares about the people.

There are two sides to this knife.

It cuts both ways.

What you should be asking is: how come Snowden was plugged straight into the NSA, bypassing all seniority rules, since everything seems to indicate he was no special talent?

I disagree! Hearing Snowden’s side of the story would be cleansing to the issue. All we’ve heard is what a clown he is. I think it would be good to hear his side also. Then I would make a decision as to who was right. Right now, I tend to agree that Snowden was right to speak up and expose a government that is spying on everybody without justification. This isn’t the Soviet Union of Joseph Stalin. This is the United States of America, may I remind you?

Well sir, I have asked that.

I find it inconceivable that this guy just accessed things at the top.

Didn’t he claim he was privy to Obamas phone calls and email?

Well, the EUSSR is neither. And the greatest concern to US citizens is what the NSA did to us, frankly, and Snowden ought to be free to talk about that all he pleases AFAICS.

Yes, he did. And the question is being asked around the intel community as well.

If Snowden has so much power why don’t he spill the info on Obama?

Tell us what you know bub. There is plenty of money to pay you.

I’ll tell you why he doesn’t

He is a low level diversion, that is happy to be on Obamas payroll.

Ya think all this started under Obama?

Is this what you're attempting to get people to believe here?

Not at all.

That's a relief.

I find none of this "inconceivable".

This is the same government where it was discovered Bush's homeland security chief Mr. Chertoff, had people wandering around the inside of this private residence who had entered the country illegally. During war time.

The same government which aided and abetted tens of millions to enter the country illegally, from God knows where, during war time.

The same government where after 911, Bush allowed more Muslims into the U.S. than the previous two decades.

Without wanting to give their vile sites hits, it would seem that they basically agree with him but don't trust him because he's "biologically" still a JEW.

The consensus seems to be that it might be a messup, but it would be a humdinger of a messup. I know for a fact that his contractor has been feeling the heat.

Quite a few articles have been written about Germany’s recent wave of patriotism.
