A decade after Snowden exposed NSA’s mass surveillance in cooperation with the British GCHQ, only about 1 percent of the documents have been published, but three major facts can finally be revealed thanks to a doctoral thesis in applied cryptography by Jacob Appelbaum.

        So what? Once it went to a few news organizations, the Russians probably already had it by the time he arrived.

          But then they couldn’t ask him questions about it before he arrived…but maybe they did and his sell out happened way up the line. In any case, if you think what Trump did was wrong this was the same crime.

                That’s a far cry from storming the capitol after losing the election to build an even further right state.

                What matters to me is the morality of a rule (unreasonable searches, accepting loss), not the fact that a rule was broken.
