There are merits to both sides of that argument but the real unanswered and un pursued question is : why did Snowden get access to that information in the first place?”
Why did a GED level IT specialist have a ‘need-to-know’ to get access to it anyway?
That is the problem congress should be fixing first.
Why did Snowden think he had access to ALL the information ~ .... ~ little evidence that he did. Lots of claims but where’s the data?
