It’s intriguing to consider that after Edward Snowden, a former NSA subcontractor, leaked secret information about the government’s surveillance activities, he was charged with “theft of government Property”, “unauthorized communication of national defense information” and “willful communication of classified communications intelligence information to an unauthorized person.”
Hillary Clinton, however, the Democratic presidential nominee in this year’s election and former Secretary of State, deleted 30,000+ emails from a private server and has received no reprimand from the FBI. In fact, on Tuesday, FBI Director James Comey told the press that he would not recommend criminal charges against Clinton for using private email servers during her time as secretary of State.
Double standard, much?
Edward Snowden wasn’t the only American left speechless by the decision, but his Tweet definitely summarized what most people were thinking:
When Snowden first fled the country in 2013, Clinton stated that she could never condone what he did. She said the former NSA employee was a “Traitor” who had “blood on his hands,” reports DailyCaller.
Again, intriguing, considering that the war criminal is to blame for destabilizing Haiti and making Libya a failed state – among other unsavory accomplishments. Edward Snowden’s crime was to enlighten the public on the fact that they aren’t as free as they think, but Clinton’s actions have earned her a spot as the potential President of the United States.
If anything, 2016 seems to be the year Americans find out just how corrupt their government is and the extent to which the political system is rigged.
Break classification rules for the public's benefit, and you could be exiled.
Do it for personal benefit, and you could be President.

She has blood on her hands!
Amazing a Russian spy has a voice in our politics!
Well you’re a special kind of stupid if you can’t tell the difference between a spy and a hero… Ijs
And if you look at what he disclosed, none of the information poses a direct threat to “opponents” of the US anyway. It does however disclose to the citizens what the government does with their personal information. Sure sounds like “spying” to me.
Of course, the Clintons have much more money to pass around and the sitting president is in charge. Honestly, I was not surprised.
Her…no, him…yes
On what f’ng planet?
This one, earth. On which one are you located?
Yes she should be
Fuck the government !!
Nope
“Well heck. If the supposed ‘Secretary of the State” is allowed to be apparently confused on what her duties were and how she should handle business, how was poor Ed supposed to know that he had his hands on classified material? I mean after all, he only WORKED for the NSA. He didnt actually have a cool title, like Hillary did. So unfair.”
**Said in my BEST JON STEWART voice~ -_-
Conscious Life News – Wow, you have a serious Anti-Clinton Editorial going on these days. Be very, very careful for what you wish for. The alternate doesn’t bare thinking about.
No indict trump for all his cheating business deals.
No.
Is it possible that anyone who said no simply doesn’t know what the word indicted means?
She absolutely should be! She was negligent with her handling of classified information. She blatantly disregarded the papers she signed with the government about appropriately taking care of classified information which she then passed along to her lawyers to destroy…lawyers who had no security clearance! She lied to Congress about not transmitting classified information on multiple electronic devices which was also a found in the investigation, some of the devices which she used in foreign countries in which the information could be compromised. She had a freaking unsecured computer server in her home, managed by an unsecured IT company! Never has a previous SoS used a private server in their home to transmit state secrets why, because it’s illegal and not secure! How many more inappropriate, negligent actions must one person commit to be held accountable! If she was not $hillary Clinton, they would’ve thrown her in jail and her POTUS run would long be over! It’s a travesty!
She is older than you ..maybe she is technacly challenged ..maybe the multiple devices were upgrades on her phone’s …she is the only one that can settle this Country down ..protection will be a priority ..she realises she was careless ..but truly ..3out of 30.000 ..please ..it’s not so bad ..no confermermation that there was a breach . HILLARY !! The only hope !!
Libby Diefenbach if you think we can live with a commander and chief who is incompetent handling sensitive information, who has been shown by the FBI to be a liar, based on her sworn testimony, and who has sold herself and her soul to Wall Street and multibillion dollar corporations, go create your own country and let $hillary lead your country! Incompetent, lying, bought and sold leaders are no longer needed in the United States!
the GOP want to open up worms…..Every seantor should hand in their phones now, Bush and chenny should be brought up on charges..bush deleted thousands of emails, bush lied to the american people and assange proved it the list will go on..Americans should revolt on this no long should we stand by with such dictatorship of the GOP
Two COMPLETELY different sets of circumstances
No.
we best just investigate every elected official as they all have blood & money in their pockets, they work for the lobbyist, for money! This is how politics is played, why is everyone in an uproar only at election time. For Snowden he can stay where he put himself.
What did he do? Tweet?
Please indict this puppet fraud Hillary. #nevercrookedhillary
From the much I read regarding the investigation, I believe violations occurred. She should have had her day in court.
Killary should NOT be indicted. After all, SHE is a priviledged WHITE, ATTORNEY and a PRESIDENTIAL candidate and we just can’t have a person with those qualifications being indicted, can we? How would that look?
Where we come from, where we are going, why we are here, the truth about Life and death on earth has been revealed, the most clear, complete, and accurate explanation of the truth of life on earth. The universe as it relates to conscious life can be understood now. Learning the ultimate truth is the next step in our evolution. Nothing else matters. The world is being destroyed as a result of people not knowing the truth.
Without the truth, there can be no real morality, justice, equality, unity, success, freedom, love, security, peace, spirituality or even survival. Only the truth can stop the wars and make the world the paradise it can be. Knowing the ultimate truth makes it possible for people to see life clearly and to be filled by it.

He would have been allowed to if his Father-in-law was a Rockefeller.
It’s about intention. She intended NOT to break any rules and failed a few times. He intended to break rules and succeeded famously.
Snowdon’s action were deliberate; Hillary’s were not. Case closed.
This question has nothing to do with my own existence, sensations, thoughts, and surroundings.
Yes she should have been prosecuted…she has left a trail of criminal activity and blood behind her for years. And for those who can’t see how evil and criminal this woman is …. take your friggin blinders off, get your damn head out of the sand and smell the criminal activity…
The hypocrisy of it all. Snowden only new to well, that our government is up to something bad. But he’s the traitor ????
Again the truth will come in the end!!!;)
Snowden is a traitor, let the Russian keep him forever.
Hilary is more of a traitor. Snowden is a hero. But you keep on being ignorant.
Hillary …HILLARY ..HILLARY !!!! OUR ONLY PARAYER IS FOR HILLARY TO WIN !!! LOVE AND REPECT PEACE AND PATIANTS ..HILLARY!-
If were are going to indict Hillary then we better be taking a look at all elected officials especially the Bush Era’s and Dick Cheney. All the WARMONGERS amongst us.
Hillary for poisons and faster was of killing.
#Gowdy
But if not her,there is,apparently only Donald Trump for,president of USA,as,I see Robin Cameron has just said.
The FBI SAYS NO
AND THE HEAD OF THE FBI IS REPUBLICAN , what else .
