Hillary Clinton Says Snowden "Helped Terrorists"
Defending the nation's mass surveillance programs because "people were desperate to avoid another [9/11] attack," Hillary Clinton, speaking at University of Connecticut on Wednesday night, noted that a balance must be found to "make sure that we're not infringing on Americans' privacy, which is a valued, cherished personal belief that we have." But her most controversial comments were swved for Edward Snowden, as she though it "odd that he would flee," since, she noted, "we have all these protections for whistle-blowers, " and concluded rather cryptically that, "turning over a lot of that material... gave all kinds of information, not only to big countries, but to networks and terrorist groups and the like."
As The National Journal reports,
"People were desperate to avoid another attack, and I saw enough intelligence as a senator from New York, and then certainly as secretary [of State], that this is a constant—there are people right this minute trying to figure out how to do harm to Americans and to other innocent people," Clinton said. "So it was a debate that needs to happen, so that we make sure that we're not infringing on Americans' privacy, which is a valued, cherished personal belief that we have. But we also had to figure out how to get the right amount of security."
As for Snowden's role in exposing the NSA programs, Clinton insinuated that she found his motives suspicious.
"When he emerged and when he absconded with all that material, I was puzzled because we have all these protections for whistle-blowers. If he were concerned and wanted to be part of the American debate, he could have been," she said. "But it struck me as—I just have to be honest with you—as sort of odd that he would flee to China, because Hong Kong is controlled by China, and that he would then go to Russia—two countries with which we have very difficult cyberrelationships, to put it mildly."
...
Clinton stressed the strangeness of Snowden's decision to flee to countries that have perpetrated cyberattacks against the U.S. She noted that when State Department officials would travel to Russia or China on diplomatic business, they would leave their cell phones aboard the plane with their batteries taken out. "It's not like the only government in the world doing anything is the United States," she said.
"I think turning over a lot of that material—intentionally or unintentionally—drained, gave all kinds of information, not only to big countries, but to networks and terrorist groups and the like. So I have a hard time thinking that somebody who is a champion of privacy and liberty has taken refuge in Russia, under Putin's authority."
With sarcasm creeping into her voice, Clinton implied that Snowden acted all too friendly toward Vladimir Putin, whose country has been harboring Snowden since last August

I met a woman last month who hadn't realised 9/11 was an inside job.
Now I see you have one in the USA!
Surely, even scouring the jungles of Borneo is unlikely to produce anymore?
Ok. So HillHo says that Snowden helped the terrorists.
Somebody needs to explain to me why the US government is so mad at Snowden for his help?
*oh,btw, has anyone else picked up on the need for extra ammo by our government yet? Come on,...they've been planning this for a few years...
Ok, I'll give you a few more days
<- 1 shoe
<- both shoes
The fact that people pay scum like her to speak and people show up to listen tells me how fucked this nation is.
The question is if they're paying her willfully or are these speaking tours just a shakedown.
Ovomit and his demoniacs, including Killary, are NOT the problem. They are just the SYMPTOMS of the problem.
The problem is the mental, moral, and spiritual devolution of the American People.
You can track the cultural satanic successes in America all the way back to the 1960s. The Plan was made decades before that.
John Kennedy was the last real American president. He was not without blemish, as are we all.
Let's all work our asses off to make sure she doesn't get elected. Hell, she shouldn't even be given the time of day.
Obama's administration has gone after more whistle blowers than all previous governments combined so her words are non-sense.
Snowdon is gone the NSA stays. That tells everything about the sad state of the USA.
Hillary and LURCH financed Al-Queda, ...
Using Hillary's logic, then Hillary should be drawn and quartered for her supplying Poison Gas to Syria by way of her failed Libyan operation.
Funny in Hillary's world the 'Mouth' of SNOWDEN is more dangerous, that INFINITE FIAT to Al-Queda by way of Hillary's Purse.
Just more 'Do as I say, not as I Do'
Hillary is the EVIL Queen, the BITCH from HELL, and thus she will be USA president in 2016.
I just hope there is a Lee Harvey/James Earl out there, just-a cleaning his high powered rifle.....
I do hope that....I want to wake up and find out she'd been taken out....
Not that it would disrupt the NWO order mind you..that shit-show ain't gonna stop with her gone....
But just because it's Rodham Clinton....just...because...
She does not call privacy a right, but "a cherished personal balief". The hog considers herself a philosopher queen born to rule the unwashed masses.
The insane don't know they are insane...
Someone hand Hillary a mirror.
Sorry NSA
I've got no camera on this computer,
Nor microphone either.
I see the flash of your snapshot.
Fuck you
clinton u bitch...u did 9/11 remember
She was caught stealing the papers from her own lawyer's office, on the evening that he had been suicided with a pistol shot to the back of the head with a bullet did not match the calibre of the suicide weapon.
Pure comedy
The Hilarious Clit
this bimbo is yesterday's news.
Hillary Clinton is a treasonous piece of shit
i agree with hillarity. the terrrorists of the world need to be stopped decisively in cold blood. putin is on it.
She will suck Military Industrial Complex and Bankster cock as hard as possible because she wants get the title President for it... and will follow whatever instructions they give her...including trash the people...give everything to a handful of people. Yes Boss, more cock?
I just logged to say fuck you bitch
She needs more than a fucking shoe thrown at her than much is certain.
lady who attacked her with a leathal shoe, is still held in prison, while corzine hits the beach is monoco.
"odd that he would flee," since, she noted, "we have all these protections for whistle-blowers, "
She conveniently forgets that there specifically by law are no whistleblower protections for those who work for the intelligence services.
I find it odd she would say that... she must have a real low opinion of the general public if she thinks anyone would believe that.
Her kind are the real terrorists.
Fetch my gun boy we're goin' huntin' clinton's.....
If the US Government and you didn't break US Law and International Law, snowden would have nothing to do !
Where can I get my Hillbilly huntin license??
There are photos out there of Snowden boating on the river in Moscow. Nobody in the administration is going to be treated so politely and they are all jealous of the special treatment Mr. Snowden receives from his gracious hosts. They hate his freedom.
Madeline Albright, Secretary of State under Bill Clinton, when asked of the human toll of 500,000 dead Iraqi children, said 'the price was worth it'. Totally insane.
The brainless crackpots in charge are losing control and have lost their minds. John Kerry is also quite insane.
Hillary is nuts, whacko, out of her mind, flying over the cuckoo's nest. She's Jack Nicholson calling the play by play of the world series game broadcast on television because the volume was not on. She caterwauls, babbles, rambles, always covering her ass, which is obviously extremely difficult to do. It is impossible to listen to the insane ramblings from the people who have turned the US gov into a hellhole and the country into a shithole.
Hillary deserves a great deal of the credit.
Can't be much of a life for her anymore.
Hillary Clinton is THE TERRORIST.
I it wrong to state the obvious that the US government and Hillary helps terrorists all the time? Look at who funded and armed the terrorists in Libya and Syria. Look at who sponsored the Egypt spring, the color revolutions and the latest Ukraine paid for coup. It is the US government and Hillary in particular of late.
She has armed and helped terrorists much more than Snowden.
Snowden for President.
Benghazi bitchez...
Protections for whistleblowers.
Ask Vince Foster.
Don't forget Ron Brown who died in a CIA -engineered plane crash with a .45 caliber bullet hole in the back of his head.
Please God....no more psychopathic Demoncraps.
I guess he could not fit the nail gun in the cockpit.
Certainally explains why Monica Lewinsky looked good.
Didn't Hillary help terrorists?
About the best you can say now is that we are in A World of Shit.
RE
"that this is a constant—there are people right this minute trying to figure out how to do harm to Americans and to other innocent people,"
What worries me is how many people in the US is willing to believe this kind of perverse lies and vote people like this subject.
'Cause truth is -this is a constant- there are US gvt agencies (following their master's orders) trying to figure out how to do harm to Americans and to innocent people around the rest of the World all the time.
"that this is a constant—there are people right this minute trying to figure out how to do harm to Americans and to other innocent people,"
They are called US politicians who for 30 years have enriched themselves by evey possible means including dismantling the US manufacturing base and sending it to China in exchange for re-election bribes from Industry....sorry 'donations from industry groups.
She's gonna be such a great Prez!
(uhh,gak...sorry... threw up a little in my mouth, there.)
When it becomes an act of treason to expose treason, its time to roll the guillotines.
Is it murder to exterminate a person who is commiting ongoing, continuing, usurpations, acts of treason, and unconstitutional violations against one's country?...............
Or............. Can one be charged with aiding and abetting acts of treason, usurpations, and unconstitutional, criminal acts against one's country if he has the means and opportunity to prevent such ongoing acts, even if by assassination of the perpetrator(s), and fails to act to preserve and protect his/her country from such clear and present dangers that could destroy his/her constitutional republic.
Wherein lies a citizens greater responsibility? To not kill corrupt, treasonous, political monsters bent on the destruction of one's country, or is it to eliminate clear and present dangers to the very existence of one's country in any manner necessary to accomplish the task, regardless from where the clear and present dangers arise.
It is said that a patriot's first duty is to protect his/her country from its government.
Is it possible to garner any patriots from a drugsucking, pot-addled, progressive jihadists, population?
I wish someone would shut this Dyke-up permanently!!
Are you volunteering to stick a finger in the dyke?
Hillary is a card-carrying psychopath.
Bill is a slimey fuck whose deregulation will destroy our economy, but Hillary is just plain evil.
The correct term is fascist.
Hillary is a card-carrying psychopath and a fascist and just plain evil.
Dear Lord in Heaven
No More Clintons
....Snowden acted all too friendly to V. Putin...
I wonder what she thinks of 0bamao telling Medvedev "tell Vladymir I'll have more flexibity after the election."
Sounds treasonous to me, and what exactly DID he mean by "flexibility?" Does it have something to do with the current affairs in the Ukraine?
Corrupt bastards all!
Me again
...Snowden helped terrorists...
As Sec. State this woman also helped terrorists as revealed by the UK Daily Mail. The whole Benghazi "diplomatic" mission was a cover for the current US gov't smuggling weapons to the "rebels" in Syria (who we now know were al queda.)
The more this bitch talks, she digs herself in deeper. Remember Hillary: when you point a finger at some one else there are three fingers pointing back at YOU!
Speaking of acting too friendly..what about BUSH 2 with all his "I looked the man in the eye. I was able to get a sense of his soul"
and calling him "Pootie-poot." ?
Snowden is a HERO.
How dare Snowdon help these terrorists! That was Killary's assignment.
Unfortunately, Killary was too busy spending hundreds of millions of taxpayer's dollars rebuilding delapidated terrorist meeting halls (mosques) throughout the middle east and couldn't be bothered with funding security protocols at Benghazi.....beside she couldn't let the American people find out that her and Ovomit were buying and gathering arms from the Libyans and shipping them to Al Quaida terrorists in Syria.
The American people would be outraged if they knew the Ovomit Government had switched sides in the war on terror.
please go away hillary forever
Every Clinton and Bush should be ducking shoes every time they show their face in public.
Yo Hillary, the Rose Law Firm billing records were right there. Even Eddie Snowden could have found them!
This would be Hillary who sided (along with McCain) with the KLA--labeled terrorists--"rehabilitated" them, and backed one side in the complicated Balkans mess.
Hi Hillary: Can you start by questioning your husband Bill, who in 1999 "offered pardons to 16 unrepentant members of a fringe Puerto Rican terrorist group known as the FALN...During the 1970s and 1980s, FALN members set off at least 138 bombs in five major U.S. Cities. Six Americans were killed in those attacks. One of those bombings, in January 1975, was at the historic Fraunces Tavern in lower Manhattan while patrons were at lunch. The explosion killed four and injured more than 50."
I pray this lying cunt's jet gets shot down with one of the Stinger missiles she helped give to Al Qaida at Benghazi.
Interesting choice of words:
"So it was a debate that needs to happen, so that we make sure that we're not infringing on Americans' privacy, which is a valued, cherished personal belief that we have."
I bet most people would have chosen "right". Beliefs can change or be modified or edumacated.
If she had her way, there would be no debate (obviously they'd just deny everything with straight faces - as they did before terrorist Snowden endengered USA for no good reason), but a slow trickle of media propaganda eroding freedom on a steady pace. First it was only some limited rights delegated to the State, with everything else in the hands of the people. That there a set of rights, especially protected. Than only these are protected. Later they are selectively protected with some minor exceptions. Now they're supposed to be beliefs, or traditions - tomorrow they will beliefs that were outgrown and are no longer needed.
Hilary really believes that they are only your 'beliefs' , you have no rights, and she may have a point, have a look at what happened to American citizens of japanese origin at the start of WW2, where were their rights then?
She and her other socialist/communist associates deem everyone that attempts to reveal their (Hillary, Obama, Pelosi, Reid) tyrannical methods as terrorist.
They are just nailing their coffins shut. Over half of this country knows they are serial liars now, thanks to the internet media. Long live the blogosphere!
Oh, BTW, my wife tells me Hillary has had a lot of plastic surgery. Personally, I don't see it. So, if true, then it is good to see her screwed by another party (Bill obviously won't touch her).
That cunt should shut her fucking legs before she talks about who's in bed with terrorists!
Al Qaeda is synonymous with Clinton.
Snowden has not put anything out in public. Zip Zero Nada. He put it in the corrupt hands of the media. Any person that can think for themselves knew everything thats been released. Sure he threw egg on some faces but not one of the players he ratted out paid any price.
What I would have expected if Snowden was the real deal? How do they use the data? Who do they use it on? Who is exempt? Who has total access to all this info? Who is working with who? Just what are they looking for? What is the true power structure running this show?
Hillery is toast/ history from a pollitical standpoint. She could not win any real ellection without major rigging.
If you are smart figure it out for yourself. No need to research just think it all the way thru. You have more than enough info to come too the correct conclusion. Just be honest to yourself.
At this point Snowden could release it all to the public. If he did they still could not touch him.
"There are people right this minute trying to figure out how to do harm to Americans and to other innocent people."
Dam Skippy and she's one of them.
"Dammit Hillary, it was just a blow job." "You son of a bitch, you better start bombing those fucking serbs right now, buster."
I know Bill could think for himself, but what a time he must have had with Shrillery always in his ear.
As usual, Hillary makes up her own "facts". Snowden was immediately labeled as a traitor by the government and refused to grant him consideration as a whistleblower.
J-E-S-U-S C-H-R-I-S-T-! Will this cunt ever shut up?
It might be a really bad thing as it could be twisted against us, but it would be great if every American (property owners only) got to vote on every bill proposed by Congress.
For some reason I'm not feeling certain she will run...
I don't think she will run, it would be suicide for her party
Unfortunately Ms. Clinton is unworthy to be a presidential candidate in the next election. She is a throwback to earlier times when terrorism was a real concern. However today most people recognize that the US is manufacturing enemies daily to increase the numbers of so called "terrorists" who despise America for its unrelenting massacres of civilians in the Middle East. Every individual murdered by American drones has a dozen or more relatives who will hate the US forever. So her phoney interest in stopping terrorism by surveilling the American public and turning the nation into a plice state is nothing but lies and posturing. She really is a lying shill for the wealthy oligarchs who are running the country into the ground.
Hill has kind of a Hannibal Lechter thing taking over her general countenance.
can't wait to see the photoshopped campaign posters...
"When he emerged and when he absconded with all that material, I was puzzled because we have all these protections for whistle-blowers."
WHAT REALITY IS THIS WOMAN LIVING IN?
Just look at the whistleblower protections for Manning, Assange, Kiriakou, Lindauer, Brown, Birkenfeld, Darby,to name just a few, as well as the relentless persecution of people like Aaron Swrartz and Hillary blathers out- loud about protections for whistle blowers. I guess the illusion of protections and freedom must be maintained while our constitutional liberties are eroded and criminal conduct by the government is covered up with the now meaningless term "national security".
None of these people did anything that harmed the country, but they did expose conduct that was potentially criminal as well as embarrasing to Hillary and others high up and so she used her powers to make sure they were "properly punished" for their revelaing of the truth.
It is important to keep this fact in mind during Hillary's political campiagns. Do you really want a a person with this sort of vindictive temperment in the highest positions of power?
Very funny . We Have now fireworks .. !
You must all think, that all these years of spying for the United States with other countries was in vain .. ? ..
For your information it is very likely that Russia has done exactly what the United States really wanted them to do. Embedded in imperialism and blindness unprecedented , resembling the Soviet Union , and his utopia ...
Snowdem like everyone else , knows only what the government wants them to know , believe the CIA government etc. .. all know what their agents know .. !
The united states thinking :
We will then deceive Russia and KGB agent emperor .... We can not let Putin much thought, we have to irritate it quickly, so that it will be in Sochi games.
We know perfectly what Snowden knows " with a bit more luck the snowdem up is the best agent for counterintelligence that the United States has" ....
We know what the Snowden knows and is no lie, is easier to cheat Russians and Europe, and as we also know how the KGB emperor of russia think. Let us draw the steps that Russia will do, telling the truth to them. So russia will do exactly what we want.. and what we want him to know .. The KGB Agent Emperor of Russia thinks it has additional information , but not as we know.. after all, were many years to plan this intervention in europe.. They only know now, that we watch on them for a long time, Now they can know. We already have enough information, so well is, because it hides even more what we want to do, and we look for them, defeated for leaking information ..
At this time Russia is doing exactly what we want:
- Distance from Europe.
- They are the bad guys ... hahaha if they were less blind would not have done this.
- Now we sell gas to Europe
- The Chinese do not know what to do, especially now that are scattered around the world.
- The Russia now, is not just our enemy.
- Now is a good time to sell weapons. But the enemy also sells, patience, they have to earn a few bucks ..
- and more..........
