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.

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
