    It seems the @FBI Director agrees: sometimes the only moral decision is to break the rules.https://theoutline.com/post/1671/james-comey-testifies-in-the-senate?i=1681 …

        No. Snowden was a contractor. It's why he couldn't leak to Congress and have whistleblower protection.

        I think you missed my point: he had no recourse once his superiors ignored him. Actual employees would have; he did not.

        Comey "leaking" wasn't same. Revealing a personal conversation - not classified Intel - not the same

        Oh I see, you're talking a out Comey, not the actual y'know topic of the thread, where Snowden defends own actions.

        How do you know he broke the rules for "moral" reasons? Comey seems pretty self-interested to me.

        He did not LEAK when Lynch pushed him to protect Clinton he did it now because he was fired and disgruntled.

        Exactly. He may have broken protocol or good practice but he didn't leak reams of classified material like someone at the top of this thread

        I suspect Comey would've consulted with legal counsel before he gave his written recollections to his friend.

        Isn't Comey a lawyer? and his wife a Clinton supported Politician and he is non bias? yeah right.

        What is absolutely true is that Comes created a culture in the fbi where people felt comfortable leaking sense time information
