    Edward Snowden Retweeted Barton Gellman

    I got a security clearance faster than half of this White House.https://twitter.com/bartongellman/status/963058772980719618 …

    Barton GellmanVerified account @bartongellman
    White House says it’s common for security clearance to take a year. 1. It’s not. Unusual, even for Regular Janes and Joes. 2. It verges on Black Swan territory for top-rankers like Kushner & Porter, who cut the line. 3. *May* mean “never” & bureaucracy doesn’t want to say no.

        And we know what a monumental error that was. So it does say a lot that these people's skeletons are more obvious than yours!

        no the monumental error was the and still is the destruction of the 4th amendment . . . @Snowden gave up his freedom to defend the Constitution. . . there's no iffs ands or buts about it.

        if the NSA and the pro Patriot Act government wasn't breaking the HIGHEST LAW OF THE LAND then you might have a point. But since they were and still are, I think you are confused. It isn't a crime to report a crime. That's the rule of law, the highest law.

        its a lower law than the Constitution and he leaked responsibly to a responsible journalist. no one was put in danger by his leaks.

        its legality is not relevant as it isn't a crime to report a crime. see #nuremberg.

        the irony is that he's one of the major reasons why it's now taking well over a year to get a TS.

        false. Plenty of money there that's a total non-issue.

        How is that false? Govt put a freeze to hiring (money) which put a freeze on investigations which created a back log. So instead of them going every 5 years they went 6 which put a much bigger back long. I'm currently waiting in limbo from yr 5 to 6.
