In reply to the discussion: Snowden adviser: Hillary "either out of touch, or lying" about US protections for whistleblowers [View all]randome
(34,845 posts)80. The number of deliberately misleading statements comes close.
* Snowden could spy on the President if he wanted.
* PRISM was a method for the NSA to download the Internet on a daily basis.
* The NSA is watching our thoughts form as we type.
* He said he "saw things" but won't ever say what that means.
* Apparently he didn't know what a secure FTP server is.
So yeah, I'd say it's likely that Snowden does not know what he's talking about. One does not need to take a 'side' on this issue to judge on the merits of what's been said.

Can they call themselves 'advisors' without Snowden actually designating them as such?
