    After "two years of investigation," the government charges... I faked a sick day and have a GED? Did they not watch the Guardian interview?

        @Snowden Their report is so artlessly distorted that it would be amusing if it weren't such a serious act of bad faith. Let's take examples:

        @Snowden The claim I exfiltrated data for journos 8 months prior to Clapper? False. That was HEARTBEAT (see film), an approved data handler.

        @Snowden HEARTBEAT, which seems to be the source of their 1.5m number, was explicited authorized by two levels of my management. I built it.

        @Snowden The committee seems to intentionally conflate my authorized government work with my unauthorized whistleblowing. Diminishes them.

        @Snowden That NSA's programs were legal and I just didn't understand the nuance? The courts disagree:http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/08/us/nsa-phone-records-collection-ruled-illegal-by-appeals-court.html …

        @Snowden Claim: I reported a critical problem (software updates taking field sites offline) to senior management, and was reprimanded. True!

        @Snowden That doesn't say good things about going through "proper channels" at NSA. Not sure they understand how this hurts their case.

        The claim I "doctored performance evaluations?" This one is amazing: I reported an XSS (hacking) vulnerability in CIA annual review system.

        @Snowden I think they're trying to accuse you of not having a GED.

        @astepanovich That would be extremely unwise.

      @Snowden nah. their thing is to "always appear strong", despite sometimes making themselves seem like COMPLETE MORONS.

        @GoodNPlenty333 @kittyjewell @Snowden Also "an trader." Apparently, they didn't cover spelling/grammar in the truth police academy.
