I do understand why the state wants to prosecute him, but I also think the public deserved to know what Snowden revealed. It’s definitely the kind of thing the pardon power was created for, not for drug lords to bribe their way back into freedom.
I do understand why the state wants to prosecute him
Because he exposed the state for being a massively illegal and corrupt pile of shit directly perpetrating crimes against not just the American public, but the world at large?
Like yeah, I understand why cartels kill informants, that doesn’t make them justified in doing so.
ugh my wife wanted to show me something and it was on x. im like why aren’t you using xcancel like we have discussed before. how do I do that. like I said before just add cancel after x. Im sure down the line she is going to show me something from x. sigh.
I’m responding to the claim that Americans did nothing. It might be the case that there is illegal government surveillance going on today, but there is no evidence for that in any leaks, particularly not Snowden’s. If there is illegal government surveillance that we learn about later, the takeaway from the Snowden saga is that Americans will take action to shut it down.
Everybody knows the U.S. is a massive surveillance state still. They literally have renewed FISA every year. And I know, it’s supposed to be for foreign spying. But you’d have to be a naive child to think they abide by the law.
Nevermind all the spying Meta, Google, and windows do. And the government just buys up that data on people as if it were candy in a gas station.
Where did I say my beliefs were from government statements? My comment only mentioned leaks. How do leaks lie? Are you implying Snowden was in on a conspiracy where he only leaked documents that made it look like the government was following the law in order to pull the wool over our eyes? I have to admit, that is a new one to me.

The american public are just overworked sheep… the proof they did not deserve this info, is in that they got it and literally did nothing about it.
To this day poeple won’t stop using Meta and Twitter and there are 29 extra reasons to never touch those platforms again

Get that woman Firefox, so you can install ToXCancel for her, so you can stop giving yourself an aneurysm.
she already does but I did not know about the add on. this may be just the thing. thanks. EDITED - gotta say I love how the name works in two ways.
Don’t forget Reddit! That has always been a skidmark-filled guilty pleasure.
They literally sued the U.S. government and shut down the only program that was collecting Americans’ data. https://www.cohenandwolf.com/publication-nsa-phone-metada
and this is why the gov doesn’t spy on its ciizens anymore and everyone lived happily ever after… my sweet summer child

If they didn’t abide by the law, surely there would be evidence for it in the massive trove of documents that Snowden released.
Are you trying to be intentionally obtuse? You seriously think governments don’t lie…you trust them? Then there’s nothing to discuss.

Pardon power and the jury nullification.
