As it turns out, it appears both Snowden and Manning are just pieces in a bigger mosaic of government wrongdoing. Since their acts became known, we have learned:
-That the IRS was suppressing conservative fundraising for political reasons.
-That the former head of the CIA was involved in transmitting false, Russian materials to law enforcement in the U.S., for political reasons.
-That the FBI and DOJ’s top people misled a federal judge and spied on an American citizen for political reasons.
-That the FBI wiretapped a presidential candidate’s office for political reasons.
-That the FBI and DOJ’s top people set up a president of the U.S. with a “trap” in which if he followed the advice of one, he would be endlessly investigated by the other.
I’ll admit I don’t like either Snowden or Manning. But I like the IRS, FBI, CIA and DOJ malefactors even less.
