        I don't like whistleblowers who aid their home country's enemies and then cause bad leaders to come into power.

        Exactly how did Assange or Snowden "aid the enemy?" B/c NEITHER of them did. In fact what they did & are doing leads to transparency in gov.

        Transparency isn't always positive. I don't believe that is so simple and I'm not alone here.

        I didn't say transparency was simple. What I'm saying is that starts the conversation. Without it the tail wags the dog.

        I know transparency is needed..but whistleblowing shouldn't be made too easy or stealing information. State authority will cease to exist.

        Without whistleblowers "Authority" becomes tyrannical & the tail wags the dog. That's exactly what we've seen happening in gov.

        That some do means also that some do not. Why point it out four months later in a thread to which you were not originally party? Are you searching for keywords for things on which to comment? Are you a bot?

        Can't speak for Snowden but know that charges under 1917 Espionage Act exclude any public interest defense vs Classified Mishandling charges

        That's jury nullification which, as a matter of law, is precluded under all federal statutes. Experienced counsel know how 2 raise it anyway

        The public "interest" defense is unmanageable. Is the standard subjective or objective? What about #Yallqaeda raising it to justify what it

        Under #whistleblower protections the public interest is defined by acts revealed & whether those show waste, fraud, abuse & gov't wrongdoing

        The definition still begs the question of whether it is an objective or subjective standard.
