So if you decide in advance to break the law . . . you’re definitely not a whistleblower: http://t.co/1I61cEJhnR

Yes. MT @HemlockMartinis didn’t Greenwald explicitly deny Snowden joined Booz Allen to gather information for leaks? http://t.co/6JOTIVJdre

How many of #snowden‘s supporters are quickly changing their definition of “hero” to include, “plotted to steal secrets from the U.S.?” #P2

What makes it all so delicious, it was Greenwald’s ego that drove him to tweet that oh so damning tweet….. pic.twitter.com/ZqWWEl25KC

hi
Congrats on 1st Layla. On twitter trying to keep up with Zimmerman trial. HLN is only presenting defense arguments so I had to turn it off.
Not true…..Per one analyst on MSNBC, the prosecutor took only 32 Minutes to present their opening statements, but that the Defense started off with a flat joke and was still going on.
of my alright! there is some shit in that fan!!!!
ICARUS gets burned!
You really can’t make this stuff up. Snowden’s lawyer is now saying he left Hong Kong because he just “wants to live a simple life.”
They’re just making stuff up now.
WTF! How stupid is this guy. What? So it’s supposed to be: “My bad; I don’t want to play any more. I want to take my toys and go home”?
I guess he and his handlers ( no way is was he alone in all of this) should have thought about their treasonous ploy a bit more.
This the funniest thing you’ll read all day: http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entry/snowdens-attorney-he-never-anticipated-this-would-be
“Snowden’s Attorney: ‘He Never Anticipated This Would Be Such A Big Matter’”
LMAO!
WHOA.
Checkmate.
They probably have him already - just not reporting.
And Assange, with his “Snowden-is-safe-but-I-can’t-tell-you-where-he-is” BS is full of it.
It’s not the best link Hope, my connection is very slow today.

Thanks Christi. I’ve also gotten another source of this info posted on the current thread :)
UPDATE.
I hope they burn Greenwald’s behind for aiding and abetting. Luke Hayes needs to talk some sense into his brother Chris for buying GG’s nonsense.
When will Greenwald tell The Guardian he wants to spend more time with his family? The Guardian needs to cut ties with him soon.
Absolute hate…..in GG’s case…..has lead him to plot, plan and yes……be accessory to breaking federal laws.
Snowden and Greenwald two criminals that needs to be placed behinds bars for a long time
Diplomatic fallout over Snowden.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-23028821
A whistle-blower protecting individual privacy and unmasking governmental hypocrisy, or traitor to his country?
Whatever the verdict on Edward Snowden’s activities, his leaking of details of a vast US operation to access and monitor communications inevitably has serious diplomatic repercussions.
And his flight from US jurisdiction - reportedly from Hong Kong to Moscow en route, possibly, to Ecuador - is throwing up problems for the Americans, and indeed his hosts, at virtually every stop.
The timing of his disclosures - just as the US president was meeting his Chinese counterpart, with Chinese computer-hacking high on the agenda - was a gift horse for Beijing.
At a stroke, the US was no longer able to portray China as a cyber-villain.
///
China may have benefited from Mr Snowden’s revelations, but it seems that the Chinese authorities saw no advantage in Hong Kong giving sanctuary to the fugitive US intelligence contractor.
///
Better to move Mr Snowden on.
///
China may have benefited from Mr Snowden’s revelations, but it seems that the Chinese authorities saw no advantage in Hong Kong giving sanctuary to the fugitive US intelligence contractor.
Much has been made of Hong Kong’s relative legal autonomy.
But few China watchers believe that the Beijing authorities would not have made their preference clear. China, after all, retains responsibility for foreign policy - and the long-term presence of Mr Snowden, and a drawn-out legal wrangle with Washington, would have sullied a sometimes difficult but nonetheless important relationship for both countries.
///
The Snowden affair clearly looks set to provide another irritant in relations between Washington and Moscow.
Now Mr Snowden is heading… well we don’t know exactly where, though Ecuador has stated that he has applied for political asylum there.
He may be transiting through Cuba, another ideological opponent of Washington.
Some might say there is something paradoxical about the reported map of Mr Snowden’s flight.
Having sought to expose what he regards as hypocrisy and malpractice in the behaviour of US intelligence services, he is now engaged in a tour of a series of countries whose records, human rights organisations say, leave a lot to be desired.
So
LOL!
It’s amazing to me that ”Mr. Transparency” Greenwald supports Citizens United. So from his balcony in Brazil, he wants National Security Operations to be in the open but has no problem whatsoever with floods of SECRET corporate donations during elections…..
He’s such a fraud. No wonder he gets ”testy” when someone question his ”integrity”.
Do you have a link to source that he supports Citizens United? (Not that I don’t believe you, I do).
Sticking my nose in! Here you go HF:
http://www.salon.com/2010/01/22/citizens_united/
Thanks Chips….my screen keep freezing up for some reason today….
Yes, he does support Citizens United.
No problem ChristiMTL, will try to find links with reaction to his support of CU, there was uproar at the time.
Thanks, Chips.
BTW, I have to wonder if GG is working his ass off to get Snowden to Equador. If Snowden is returned to the US then GG might fear Snowden’s “singing” may implicate him.
For you “journalists” who might be perusing: you may want to tighten up the definition of journalists before you start begging for a shield law. IF Greenwald engineered or was complicit in any way, does he deserve protection?
Christi, I think a link is warranted so we can safely retweet your comment.
See my tweet above with Chips’ link.
Read the article and you’ll want to throw up. It’s obvious, in 2010, that GG was a raving Republican buying every Republican lie. Someone who ‘defers’ to Bush’s right to start an unnecessary war but is outraged that PBO, who actually sees the information on threats, would have the audacity to try to balance privacy and security.
He is a monstrous, libertarian/Repub sham and it sickens me that he gets the attention he gets.
Truth…..has a way of crystallizing things and separating liars from those who have made honest mistakes.
GG will soon be but a fleeting illusion, never heard from again.
I had my reply ready to go, and all I had to do was find one of his ghastly tweets to match it. Yeehaw. Mission accomplished.
Hah! jacquelineoboomer.. My response: can’t wait til your show is cancelled. You tarnish liberalism, you white privileged bore.
Ha ha ha! Love it.
Practice:
#TarnishingLiberalismOneDayAtATime
Just a thought: Maybe snowman’s latest admissions are just a part of a deal so PBO and AG Holder can get the bigger fish..otherwise it makes no sense to me.
He’s a narcissist who thinks he’s above any and all laws.
And there was no booze served on the plane!!!! I’m sad I tell you!

The stupid keeps getting Stupider……
Texas GOP Rep: Rape Exemption For Abortion Bill Unnecessary Because Women Get “Cleaned Out” With “Rape Kits”
It was Not, Never have been just Akin, this is part of their Beliefs…….Did these idiots Never understood how Biology and The Female Bodies work?
I also just posted this story - didn’t realize you had. Freakin’ unbelievable.
Can Greenwald be picked up for questioning now ?
He would love it!….the martyr
He doesn’t live in the U.S. He lives in Brazil with his boyfriend.
Someone is paying this young fool… and I say fool merely because I consider him quite stupid- not because I believe he’s being used. I think he’s been in on this “plot” since the get go - along with his idiot pal Greenwald- where the big money is coming from is my question?? Another country OR Koch Brothers.. or some other “American”?
He is a fool and I think he is being played by everyone. I have found it interesting that the US didn’t seem to care where he was or where he is going. From not getting an interpol warrant, to wikieleaks putting out a daily itinerary, (as if he’s on vacation) and still, the government being one step behind him. In the meantime, he’s being passed around from one foreign intelligence agency to the next. He is way in over his head.
I agree that he is in way over his head… as this is so serious. If he thinks the day won’t come that he’ll be caught - he really is a fool. Someone made him believe (or he is just that arrogant) that he would be protected/ safe from govt reprisal.
The thing is I’m still waiting to hear what he ‘uncovered’ that is so ‘illegal’ by the NSA.
Trust me debz - the US gov’t has known exactly where this guy has been going. They’re just giving him and his accomplices enough rope (and time) to hang themselves.
So, yes, Sheri, it’s all about who has been and continues to finance this threat to our National Security.
Seriously, Bob… because who the heck is financing all this travel, hotels; etc??
Lots of ‘dark cash’ flowing through the Assange/wikileaks mafia - how much of it is donated by libertarian/anarchist white kids using their trust funds or their allowance or/and is donated by plutocrats or gov’ts with an anti-American agenda, are all likely being scrutinized by the DoJ.
ohhh its going to get very interesting ;) So looking forward to AG Holder when he announces all the folks involved in this escapade.
Even the Club for Growth…… Congrats Senator Markey!!!
Isn’t the election tomorrow? Why call a race the day before just to depress turnout?
It’s tomorrow, was just noting that RW Club for Growth sees the writing on the wall….. Boston Herald had a poll showing him up 20 this weekend…… no alterier motive HF, just pre-celebrating…..”counting chickens before they are hatched”
No I don’t think they have ulterior motives - perhaps a bit naive. I don’t like to call races based on polls - especially when the outcome depends on turnout.
Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL) is speaking about Snowden on the Senate floor now. He believes there is a good chance Putin will send him to the US. Interesting.
Thanks for this post, Bill. Can’t help but wonder if the “delay” is to squeeze every bit of info. from Snowden and his laptops before they send him “home”?
Even if Russia is in complete agreement to send him to the U.S., there are diplomatic and legal t’s to cross and i’s to dot. It would take awhile.
Where do they find these fucking idiots!
Back at the intersection of Neanderthal and Homo Sapien.
hahahahhaahaha I am so stealing this one.
Ha! I think there should have been an “s” on Sapien(s). Who knew? :) Maybe we could call it: at the intersection of Neanderthal Curve and Homo Sapiens Run. You decide!
They don’t find these fucking idiots, Layla. IMO, more and more, decent Americans are discouraged from running.
They are trying to force as many white women as possible to have babies. It was always about that, and now they think they have to hurry.
While China sent young Mr Snowjob on his way they basically just handed the DOJ what they needed to flat out charge him with espionage.
Somewhere in Brazil a man fainted. The thud of his body hitting the floor could be heard around the world.
Never underestimate Barack Obama, or do so at your own peril. That is pretty much how it goes. But we all know that..
“The best way out is always through.” - Robert Frost
Good Lord, has the world gone mad? Snowden is definitively outed as a spy, and Texas is swirling in anti-woman animus.
And worse, LL, Nadal was knocked out in the first round at Wimbledon :cry:
I know! My doctor’s appointment took much longer than it normally does, so I’ve been catching up on everything in the past few minutes.
How did things go LL, hale and hearty I hope?
Well, have to drastically curtail the drinking to deal with my fatty liver. Boo. And in my first ever ultrasound, I discovered I had only one kidney. So going to get a CT scan to confirm. But other than that, generally good health.
Well, consider this: your heart and soul and brain are in tact and functioning at full speed!
One kidney? And you only found out now? Wow! A family member of mine only has one as well, never held him back, so hopefully all will be good. The drink-curtailing news is tragic, though, unless, of course, you give us your wine.
I’ve never had an ultrasound before, and have never spent a night in the hospital. I’ve been quite sturdy all my life.
wait what? You’ve had one kidney all this time and never knew? Holy smokes LL - that is a story!
Yep, never knew until now.
that is truly amazing.. what a day you’re having!
Just Monday in America. Hang in there!
What the keyboard commandos don’t realize is that change takes time, and has to be fought for tooth and nail. Power never relinquishes anything willingly. And blogging from Brazil doesn’t count.
Good points, all.
Maybe the follow-up reality will be these two jokers can share a cell at Gitmo, or have adjoining cells, and NO ACCESS TO THE INTERNET ever again in their measly lives… They will have earned it.
Attention any & all journo’s/pundits…… stick to what you have at least some slight bit of knowledge when force feeding your opinion…TY!
Oh shit!
Chris Hayes’ silence on the Snowden issue (since this latest breaking news) has been deafening…I’ll give him a couple more hours. He’s had a lot to say about Snowden over the last few days, including just a few hrs ago on the Alex Wagner show. So let’s see….
We will see if he can tweet in a straight jacket.
