55. I didn't say Snowden should have shut up ...

I think that if Snowden had disclosed the information through channels, or even by giving it to ... say ... Rand Paul, we would still be having these discussions; but would not with China or the UK.

Personally, I don't think they should be given a free pass to do whatever they want with no oversight or accountability.

They don't/can't ... there IS, both, Congressional and Judicial oversight.
