And yet - Congress doesn’t bring those charges. DOJ does. And they answer directly to the Prez. Too bad he hasn’t got the nads to stand up and say it himself, eh?
And Feinstein has never claimed not to know what NSA was doing. Not that her committee would have been his channel, anyway. He was a contractor with no whistleblower protections. They would have told him to take it to his contractor boss, and then he’d have been fired on the spot - no question about it. And then, on to his local congress critter. And then, who knows? Feinstein’s an obvious liar. She wouldn’t have listened - she knows what they did, and she’s STILL defending it - which absolutely puts the lie to her claim that he should have trusted her, of all people! She’s shown exactly zero examples of any ‘terrorist’ being caught because of what her committee allows. That’s just copycatting the Manning nonsense, and the judge wouldn’t hang with it at trial. It didn’t stop them from keeping Manning in prison and torturing her for a very long time.
So then what? Snowden should have hoped that hos own local congress critter outranked her enough to have requested a GAO investigation? Of what? The stuff he wasn’t allowed to tell even his own congress member without getting charged? And then what, when GAO was told they couldn’t investigate because it was all too secret for even them or a Member of Congress to know? Then what?
Oh yeah. Nothing is what. Hope she knows a good plastic surgeon. She’s gonna need a monster nose job!
No. Snowden did it right, because it had to be done and they only left him one way to do it without rotting in a prison for years on end. DiFi’s just mad because he caught her out. I remember when she was still in CA. Accusations of a whole lot of stuff, such as election fraud which would indicate her level of personal respect for the public’s wishes. And gaming her old man’s contracting biz there. (Which totally needs to be looked into and updated again, jic, since Congress members don’t get vetted like other people do. They merely get elected.) Not exactly squeaky clean on her best day. And yet, Congress in all its wisdom gave her THIS committee gig? I wouldn’t take her word on which day of the week it is, long before Snowden ever appeared. Germany is a smart move. It may all be a dirty game with dirty players, but at least some of the other teams treat him better than his own.
