Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      One year ago, I dropped my NSA badge in return box as I drove out gates for final time. Turned on NPR: "A situation is unfolding in Paris."

      My instinct in that moment was to head back into my office. But I had no badge, I'd been read out of my clearances, nothing to be done.

      I've wondered a few times this year whether I was right to leave, if I couldn't do more good from inside, if my voice is really constructive

      Many more will leaving their roles in coming months, I hope they see their protective roles on the outside are an important safeguard.

      Highly-targeted FOIAs would be one. I wouldn't breach my oath/ obligation but I could tell you precisely which emails to ask for

      Sometimes just asking targeted question is enough to spur attention. Ron Wyden is the master of this.
