Snowden Destroys Hillary [View all]

From: https://mobile.twitter.com/Snowden/status/738014840543797249?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

Break classification rules for the public's benefit, and you could be exiled.

Do it for personal benefit, and you could be President.

For the record, I have never liked Snowden and I still feel he should be brought to justice. So don't even attempt to use the double-standard on me. You can check any of my posts regarding the topic.

Snowden proved that whistleblowers are so vulnerable that running off to Russia.. Kentonio Jun 2016 #18

He was for whistleblowers being "shot in the balls" until Obama became president brush Jun 2016 #39

Actually, I think he was for it until he saw how the US was violating Fawke Em Jun 2016 #62

Curious that you avoided Snowden's quote about "whistleblowers should be shot in the balls" brush Jun 2016 #70

Perhaps he's evolved. frylock Jun 2016 #90

So Do You Equally Dislike HRC cantbeserious Jun 2016 #4

I believe she should be equally held accountable for her mishandling of classified info berni_mccoy Jun 2016 #6

There's still that annoying problem about 'intent', though. randome Jun 2016 #12

"Sorry officer! I didn't know the speed limit... TCJ70 Jun 2016 #51

But 'intent' is, um, INTENTIONALLY written into the laws regarding classified info leaks. randome Jun 2016 #65

How many times do you HRC supporters have to be told "intent" is not necessary? Fawke Em Jun 2016 #64

Message auto-removed Name removed Jun 2016 #82

You use 'released' and 'mishandle' interchangeably. randome Jun 2016 #83

The point being raised is that she was too ignorant libdem4life Jun 2016 #108

She should have had aides that stood up to her more, perhaps. randome Jun 2016 #123

Yes, our delicate flower. Maybe she should have had aides that were not libdem4life Jun 2016 #133

I have spoken highly of Snowden but that is just stupid on his part. NCTraveler Jun 2016 #5

Why? Should he instead of pointed out the servicemen serving jail time for less egregious offenses? Kentonio Jun 2016 #20

Read your sentence multiple times and can't make sense of it. Thanks. nt. NCTraveler Jun 2016 #25

That's ok, I'm sure when you move up to big school you'll pick up new words. Kentonio Jun 2016 #27

I wasn't being snarky but thanks for the personal attack. NCTraveler Jun 2016 #36

Ok, sorry. Thought you were. Kentonio Jun 2016 #38

You bring a lot of excitement. NCTraveler Jun 2016 #41

Actually this is the double standard that destroys the Hillary fans. Marr Jun 2016 #21

Snowden wasn't a whistleblower until Obama became president brush Jun 2016 #46

Completely irrelevant. The act was one of a whistleblower. /nt Marr Jun 2016 #48

That's your opinion Cali_Democrat Jun 2016 #60

What lies? All I'm saying is that his fiance appears to have vanished once more. randome Jun 2016 #104

You are the only person I have ever seen call her his fiance. She's his girlfriend. DesMoinesDem Jun 2016 #106

Okay, fine. Snowden's been out of the news for quite a while and I forgot. randome Jun 2016 #107

Source? JonLeibowitz Jun 2016 #129

Here it is. randome Jun 2016 #141

He didn't 'hint' they were going to be married. The DailyMail is trash and we don't know JonLeibowitz Jun 2016 #143

Agreed. It just seems strange that they were dating for 4-5 years before his run. randome Jun 2016 #144

Or maybe he doesn't believe in the institution of marriage JonLeibowitz Jun 2016 #146
