“I never imagined that I would live to see our courts condemn the NSA’s activities as unlawful and in the same ruling credit me for exposing them,” Mr Snowden said. “And yet that day has arrived,” he added.
I had my doubts as well.
For something to be functionally unlawful, there has to be a prosecutor. That’s the part that doesn’t exist.
It is time for President Trump to pardon Snowden and then award him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. What a finger in the eye of the Deep State and the out-of-control intelligence agencies that would be.
As a follow-up the people who set this illegal program up should be prosecuted for treason.
Not so sure this Appeal Court is right, “Metadata” is not “data”.
And Snowden did much worse LOL!
But you kooks have a bbll...
BBC is as leftist as they come.
BBC is crafting narrative that darling Snowden the hero is exposing the dirty low down NSA.
The real story?
War between NSA and CIA.
NSA technology had advanced so far as to render CIA obsolete like Pinkertons before FBI.
NSA was abused by Obama minions.
Admiral Mike Rogers saw how NSA surveillance was abused, data wrongfully accessed.
They tried to fire Admiral Mike but he survived long enough to brief President-Elect Trump.
NSA are good guys bullied and abused by Brennan’s CIA.
Snowden is a Brennan asset.
Watch for more state media influencing to condemn NSA.
Sure the court has ruled, but is anyone really going to stop them from doing it?
When will judges bar Microsoft and send their CEO’s to jail?
When will the corrupt Congress bar Big Tech from installing microphones and cameras in everything? When will it be illegal to REQUIRE you surrender access to your phone and all the information on it in order to use it at all? Fitness trackers, medical devices and all kinds of equipment REQUIRES access to your private information. Even your thermostat is spying on you.
not a crime to disclose government crimes
Let me know when there are criminal charges. But I won’t hold my breath.
