Is is AMAZING how much time the NSA, and Dianne Feinstein and John Kerry are spending on Snowden!

He hit a nerve. And they are scrambling to discredit him so anything else released is not believed.

If he was just a fake they would not give him the time of day.

He has them worried. That is very telling!

a good idea to go on the teevee machine quite so often. Kerry & Feinstein should stay away from current events, it's so unbecoming.

and what people actually do every day ?

just because there are mulitple Kerry threads involving comments on Snowden doesn't mean that is how much time Kerry himself is actually spending on it.

the sentiment is: Leave Snowden alone!!!

Kerry was being a meanie calling for him to return and face justice.

Snowden is great! A patriot! Clever! He's Super Snowden, able to leap above all criticism with the help of his loyal supporters.

LOL!

That has them shitting bricks because it will likely be very obvious it has nothing to do with terrorism. Also, government officials that are on the list will be forced to do something about it, even if they already know about it and approve, because they lose all credibility if they don't.

They are all crapping in their pants.

He's doing it right, and that is why so many are pissed off at him.

heavily defends, it is the "Ka-ching" of the apparatus she calls a heart (but that is actually a cash register) is exactly what is motivating her.

Just as hubby Richard Blum managed to get at least 750 millions of dollars of contracts for his construction firm off the war in Iraq, sometimes through her leaking sensitive information to him that she gleaned from her top position on the Senate Defense and Intelligence Committee(s) so too does she know that the Total War on the American People regarding Surveillance Against Them is yet another monetary win for her bank coffers.

Must be something there that they spend more time on the Left of Dem Party than they do on the Tea Party. They've got to clear the way for Hillary 2016!

She's doing more Press Ops this week.

Just started Elizabeth Warren's Book...so far it's a great read...but just into the first chapter.

Where is Congress, White House, or the Military Industrial Information Complex?


At least it appears that Democratic Underground is coming around to appreciate the selfless acts of these modern-day patriots. And the public, in general, is still confused. Given the amount of spew from the M$M, not surprising.

This is the pom-pom girl for the National Surveillance State and an embarrassment to the state and her constituents. Her "oversight" is a joke. She referenced "secret intelligence" fed her by spook agencies to support Bush's invasion of Iraq, information no one ever heard of again. Neither her honesty nor her judgment is worth a box of used cat litter.

Snowden is facing charges. He wants to come home. He's pleading for clemency.

"He hit a nerve. And they are scrambling to discredit him so anything else released is not believed."

He has the upper hand?
