Trump said on a news conference before the election, “Russia, if you’re listening — I hope you are able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press. Let’s see if that happens.”
Russia released DNC emails the next day.
Russia is an enemy of America and democracy and is and has been actively trying to overthrow our country via info and cyber warfare.
Am I the only one that finds it strange that all this shit with Russian hacks and the fascist uprising in America started quickly after Snowden was given asylum there?
Let's not fool ourselves here...there is no way if you or I were Putin he'd be allowed to stay without some of that info.
I mean the guy could have picked quite a few other places to go after committing treason that had non-extradition treaties with the US but he didn't.
And now thru back channeled manipulation Donald shit-his-pants Trump was elected president with that stolen info
The dude sacrificed his comfortable life to tell us that the feds are violating the 4th amendment on a regular basis and you're calling him a traitor? Fuck you
Bro, the Patriot Act happened right after 9-11 and it was right in there plain as day that the gov't would be listening to the interet traffic of everyone to save us from turrists.
And way way before that Ma Bell was known for giving access to the gov't to listen in on phone calls. You think Snowden is some oracle on that front?
I never called him a trator, I merely said it's coincidental.
