At the time, many were justifiably critical of Snowden not using the whistleblower route.

This Trump whistleblower relied in good faith on the safety and confidentiality provided by US law, as did the Inspector General. Given the manner in which the GOP is suffocating this complaint, why shouldn’t any future whistleblower feel forced to take the Snowden path?

- Snowden is a hero for uncovering the illegal surveillance [NT] - NDPatrick30 - 2:14am 9/24/19
  - Is he also a hero for selling his stolen info to the Russians? - Chris94 - 11:00am 9/24/19
  - Which means, the recent whistleblower is not a hero because the evidence is against Trump - jimbasil - 2:31am 9/24/19
- I think it is time for Snowden to come home - Chris94 - 10:49pm 9/23/19
- At least Snowden was fighting the Deep State. This "whistleblower" is an agent of the Deep State. - NedoftheHill - 10:08pm 9/23/19
  - He was fighting the deep state by outing and causing the deaths of Americans? You people are off the - Frank L - 10:24pm 9/23/19
    - Who died? [NT] - NedoftheHill - 10:27pm 9/23/19
      - Doubt their names have been revealed, but he placed lives at risk. [LINK] - Frank L - 10:37pm 9/23/19
        I'm for the rule of law for both, but Snowden at least has a noble cause. - NedoftheHill - 10:39pm 9/23/19
        In your twisted mind maybe. Selling out your country to its enemies isn’t noble. - Frank L - 10:41pm 9/23/19
        I agree that selling out your country to its enemies isn't noble. - NedoftheHill - 10:43pm 9/23/19
        That’s what he did. Whatevs. You guys are all nuts. [NT] - Frank L - 10:44pm 9/23/19
        Funny coming from you. :-) [NT] - NedoftheHill - 10:45pm 9/23/19
        I may be but that guy is a fuckin traitor who immeasurably hurt this nation. - Frank L - 10:48pm 9/23/19
        I don't know what he did other than expose the illegal monitoring of US citizens. - NedoftheHill - 10:49pm 9/23/19
        Maybe you should read up on it before espousing his noble motives. - Frank L - 10:51pm 9/23/19
        I wasn't commenting on the other stuff. I was only commenting on the good thing he did. - NedoftheHill - 10:52pm 9/23/19
        The other stuff went hand in hand with it. [NT] - Frank L - 10:54pm 9/23/19
        Don't know what you mean by hand in hand, but regardless, I wasn't commenting on the other stuff. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 11:02pm 9/23/19
        Of course you weren’t. You were trying to justify a traitor. I’m done with this. [NT] - Frank L - 11:23pm 9/23/19
        I think we reached the point of diminishing returns some time ago. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 11:32pm 9/23/19
  - Keep kidding yourself that you believe in the rule of law. - conorlarkin - 10:24pm 9/23/19
    - Funny coming from you. You argue to undermine the rule of law far more than I ever have. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 10:29pm 9/23/19
      - You think providing excuses for Snowden is upholding the rule of law? [NT] - Frank L - 10:39pm 9/23/19
        No. But, supporting a coup & supporting a million immigration law violations per year is worse. - NedoftheHill - 10:42pm 9/23/19
        So now you are back to Build the Wall. Always a safe place for you. - conorlarkin - 10:57pm 9/23/19
        How about marijuana...should the feds enforce the law? Or, are some people above the law? [NT] - NedoftheHill - 9:08am 9/24/19
        
        Now you are going to argue against the rule of law?...a million times a year? Predictable. - NedoftheHill - 11:03pm 9/23/19
        Here is the relevant law relevant to this thread — [LINK] - conorlarkin - 11:16pm 9/23/19
        Yes, thanks. I think everyone understands what is going on. - NedoftheHill - 11:19pm 9/23/19
        It is not a criminal statute. “Guilt” is not applicable. [NT] - conorlarkin - 11:30pm 9/23/19
        No high crimes or misdemeanors? That is interesting. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 11:32pm 9/23/19
        I am talking about the statute. You are talking about the substance of the complaint. - conorlarkin - 11:46pm 9/23/19
        I was talking about what you said: no criminal violation. - NedoftheHill - 12:13am 9/24/19
        
        No different than it coming out of yours. [NT] - Frank L - 10:43pm 9/23/19
