Boehner: 9 out of 10 people in NSA briefings are lawyers to protect ‘privacy’
Hes a traitor, Boehner told host George Stephanopoulos, according to a transcript released Tuesday morning. The disclosure of this information puts Americans at risk. It shows our adversaries what our capabilities are. And its a giant violation of the law.
Snowden, a 29-year-old former contractor who worked with the NSA through outside agencies for four years, revealed his identity in a June 9 interview with The Guardian, saying he was the primary source for a series of article outlining the agencys information-gathering practices involving private citizens phone records and internet usage. Reuters reported on Monday that he had vanished from the Hong Kong hotel in which he had been staying.
Boehner told Stephanopoulos that, having been briefed on programs like PRISM, he agreed with President Barack Obama that there were enough safeguards in place for them to remain constitutional.
Theres no American whos gonna be snooped on in any way, unless theyre in contact with some terrorists somewhere around the world, Boehner said in the interview.

I guess this answers the conspiracy theories about a double super secret Republican plot. Fear not, noble defenders, Boehner has your back.
