Traitor gets Russian citizenship.

Snowden should show his loyalty by fighting in Ukraine.

Former NSA agent caught trying to sell secrets.

US Army doctor and a civilian anesthesiologist (the wife) tried to sell medical records to Russia.

That story is doubly interesting because of who the doctor is, which CNN oddly omits. I'm sure that wasn't intentionally left out... :roll: Read the article carefully, the author goes out of their way to not use any pronouns for the doctor.

Kudos to NBC for not hiding that in their coverage.

Agree.

Legally acknowledged as female. Did they go back? Once you legally change your gender, do you always have to appear publicly as that gender? Maybe when you're accused of serious federal crimes you stop worrying about the other bullshit?

Big FBI scandal.

Although, this doesn't sound like spying.

Leaked U.S. documents alter plans in Ukraine and expose U.S. spying on allies.

I'm sure whoever did this probably thinks of themselves as a hero. They're not. Governments spy on each other. That's just how it works. The leak of these materials probably cost some innocent, good people their lives.

So the kids that are all carrying cellphones and posting their lives on instagram and tick tock are angry about a machine invading their privacy?

They remind me of my aunt that's asking me about the dangers of the wifi signal in their home, on a cellphone call.
