@Snowden

I used to work for the government, but now I work for the public.

When a crooked politician calls me traitor, ask yourself: who did I betray? The courts have ruled repeatedly that the programs I revealed were unlawful, and likely unconstitutional—a violation of your rights. If this is treason, what they call loyalty is a crime.

It's quite simple, Senator: if you're more upset at the whistleblower than you are at the lawbreaking they revealed, you're not in a position to be questioning anybody's judgment.

.@TulsiGabbard was grilled at her confirmation hearing for refusing to call Edward Snowden a traitor. I think she's right. After researching how Snowden revealed America’s deceit about spying, I conclude that what he did was mostly heroic. You decide. Here's my FULL interview:

In the most unhinged exchange from yesterday's hearing, @SenatorBennet demanded that Tulsi Gabbard denounce Snowden as a traitor and berated her for questioning Washington's consensus on the Ukraine war. @ggreenwald on Sen. Bennet's revealing meltdown:

Endless next-quarter thinking has reduced the Nvidia brand to "F-tier value for S-tier prices". 5070 should have had 16GB VRAM minimum, 5080 w 24/32 SKUs, 5090 32/48/+. Releasing a $1,000+ GPU in 2025 with a crippling 16GB is a monopolistic crime against the consumer.

The reason reason these bipartisan Deep State loyalists on the Committee are demanding she call Snowden a traitor (even though he's not charged with treason) is he exposed the illegal domestic spying programs they all endorsed. He served the country and betrayed criminals:

Credit to @TulsiGabbard for holding the line when pressed in several exchanges. Her previous written statement on FISA 702 was bad, but she seemed to be hedging more today—in a good way. It’s simple: If the government seeks to search Americans’ communications, GET A WARRANT.

Embarrassing that Democrats are leading the charge on smearing @Snowden, instead of pushing for his pardon. NSA mass phone surveillance ruled illegal, countless reforms enacted because of him. A court just ruled 702 surveillance violated the 4th Amendment last week!
Michael Bennet@SenatorBennet

Four times Tulsi Gabbard was asked if Edward Snowden is a traitor for releasing U.S. secrets & four times she declined to answer Democrats or Republicans. Anyone who refuses to label a traitor to the U.S. as a traitor is completely unqualified to lead our intelligence community.

The Senate Intel Committee spent nearly the entirety of its session today furiously demanding that DNI nominee Gabbard condemn me personally, a position now opposed by something like 94% of Americans. Courts have been ruling for ten years that NSA broke the law, guys. Move on.
Thomas Massie@RepThomasMassie

President Trump should pardon Edward Snowden. He is a national hero for exposing egregious violations of the Constitution by the Bush and Obama administrations.

Senator Young read this tweet then said he agreed with Snowden that Tulsi should say this. I think that makes it clear everyone involved in these hearings, but especially the Senators, recognize its all performative theatrics meant for self-serving video clips
Edward Snowden@Snowden

Tulsi Gabbard will be required to disown all prior support for whistleblowers as a condition of confirmation today. I encourage her to do so. Tell them I harmed national security and the sweet, soft feelings of staff. In D.C., that's what passes for the pledge of allegiance.

A Democrat Senator just tried to bait Tulsi Gabbard into condemning Edward Snowden, but she did NOT bite. Senator: "Do you still think Edward Snowden is brave?" Gabbard: "Edward Snowden broke the law... But he also released information that exposed egregious, illegal, and unconstitutional programs that are happening within our government that led to serious reforms that Congress undertook." She handled that masterfully.

The number one religion of the Washington Establishment is protecting the US Security State from all inquiry and criticism. They aren't angry that these agencies broke the law when spying on Americans. They're only angry at the person who exposed it:
Dustin Volz@dnvolz

Kind of incredible that nearly 12 years after his disclosures on NSA spying programs Edward Snowden is still dominating the conversation during a cabinet secretary's confirmation hearing. The long-tail political impact of those leaks is on full view.

Exactly: Snowden could have sold that archive. He could have secretly passed it to America's enemies. He could have dumped it all on the internet. He did none of that: he brought it to American journalists and asked that only the parts in the public interest be reported.
Mike@Mike4Liberty

@ggreenwald If he was a traitor, he’d have been QUIETLY feeding information to our enemies over a long period of time. It’s obvious that his goal was not to sabotage our country, but rather to expose crimes committed by our government against us.
