NSA, Snowden Clash Over 2013 Internal Email Release

20. All he has to do is PRODUCE the emails. He's had nearly a year to do so.

Why hasn't he?

A good time to have done this would have been right after GG and LP broke the story. Funny how he didn't bother to defend himself back then with this justification.

Snowden isn't a "distraction." He's the story. He is the one making all these claims. They are coming out of his mouth. He's the one who insists that the NSA can see what YOU are thinking. He's the one who claims that they're looking at everyone through their laptop cameras and listening in on their mikes and turning everyone's cellphones into spy devices.

He needs to put up--as in produce those emails he said he wrote--or he needs to come up with a new story about why he doesn't have them. A story that won't be believed, frankly--the guy who copied EVERYTHING didn't copy his own emails? It beggars belief.

He can't keep demanding that people show THEIR copy of something HE says he wrote. He needs to come up with his copy and provide it to the press, so the press knows with whom he conversed, when, and what was discussed.

Asking a technical question about rule of law is NOT "challenging the NSA." That's what any student does when they're unclear about a course of instruction.

And that's all that's on the table, thus far.
