Interesting.....not one liberal on here justifying this, have they finally run out of excuses?? I am sure that won’t last long!!!
Two wrongs doesn't make it right! The overreach by NSA is/ was wrong and using high school drop out to steal document to further crooked agendas is also wrong which makes the who NSA saga stink
Ya Think !
Maybe just a little .
