    You're a bit weak on your facts and understanding about Clapper's lie.

    First, it was under oath before Congress.

    Second, he was given the question 24 hours earlier and knew it would be asked.

    Third, he could have declined to answer in a public hearing and offered to answer it in private or by letter. He did neither.

    Clapper deserves to be in the slammer. This is about as close as one can get to meeting the criteria to spend a few years in jail for perjury.

    This is very serious, I assure you. They put people in jail for just lying to agents of the FBI and other government agencies. Martha Stewart is an example. She was under pressure, could have declined to answer and wasn't even under oath. Clapper's discression is much, much more serious. As was Eric Holder's lie to Congress.

    How funny can a response get?

    You are criticizing Snowden for engaging in ESPIONAGE?

    Do I have to point out the irony in your accusation?

    Snowden is a whistleblower who brought to the attention of the public a fact that nobody was aware of and should horrify everyone. That the NSA's analysts can listen in on anyone's calls anytime they want to, at their own discretion. As the rest of us recall, the gov't media complex immediately went into defense mode and called him a liar and that there needed to be FISA court approval.
    Then this:
    “The National Security Agency has acknowledged in a new classified briefing that it does not need court authorization to listen to domestic phone calls, a participant in the briefing said.
    Rep. Jerrold Nadler, a New York Democrat, disclosed on Thursday that during a secret briefing to members of Congress, he was told that the contents of a phone call could be accessed "simply based on an analyst deciding that."
    If the NSA wants "to listen to the phone," an analyst's decision is sufficient, without any other legal authorization required, Nadler said he learned. "I was rather startled," said Nadler, an attorney and congressman who serves on the House Judiciary committee.
    Not only does this disclosure shed more light on how the NSA's formidable eavesdropping apparatus works domestically, it also suggests the Justice Department has secretly interpreted federal surveillance law to permit thousands of low-ranking analysts to eavesdrop on phone calls.”

    iow, Snowden told the truth about a horrifying fact, and the gov't and media LIED THEIR ASSES OFF to cover for the usurper.

    And then Clapper was found to lie under oath to congress. Is there anyone stupid enough to think he would have admitted lying if all this with Snowden hadn't happened and he didn't think he would get caught? LOL

    And what are the chances that he'll get prison time. As everyone knows, the answer is NONE. But, think back to Scooter Libby who DID do prison time on a nonsensical charge that he lied to a special prosecutor about a crime that he HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH.

    This is Obama justice.

    Snowden is a hero and the entire govt and media are bald faced liars and the head of the NSA is a criminal liar.

    And that's where we are. And guess what. It's all because of people like you, tortoise, who WILL LITERALLY DO AND SAY ANYTHING to cover for your fraudulent leader.

    Question. What are you going to do with Bradley Manning? The left's hero leaker who leaked war status updates. That's the kind of stuff that can actually harm someone in combat. And it certainly appears as though he did it because he was pissed that he couldn't prance around the base with his homo lover because of don't ask don't tell. If one can add two plus two, that was his beef. So now are you people going to abandon your homo hero or twist yourselves into pretzels finding an explanation about how it's all different with him and you need to support him?
    It should be good theater watching you people as this progresses.
