NSA says Snowden e-mails exempt from public disclosure and secret

The "proper channels" being discussed here are limited to Snowden's claim of alerting his superiors, via email, of his "concerns". He now claims he went through THOSE proper channels.

I didn't say you needed a back-up because you couldn't speak for yourself. I said that no one here was backing you up on your claims that the NSA denied having any Snowden emails. As per usual, you now want to change the subject because you realize you're the only person who believes that ridiculous notion to be true.

"Lol, I see now they are claiming they 'can't release Snowden's emails because, sorry I'm laughing so hard I can hardly type, 'because it would VIOLATE HIS PRIVACY'! Hilarious."

Those emails may contain very personal information about Snowden, e.g. the fact that he saw a certain type of medical specialist, or a series of shrinks. The NSA is not allowed, by law, to release Snowden's personal information to the public. I don't know if Snowden is even in a position to execute a written waiver of his rights that would be acceptable in the US, but his just saying he wants them all released is not good enough.

"They lied about any paper trail between them and Snowden, then revealed they lied by producing part of it."

What on God's earth is the "paper trail"? And what part of it was produced? And if you're going to refer to the email about the training material - don't. That's an email - if you want to now classify it as a "paper trail", fine.

The fact remains that you have insisted that the NSA denied having ANY emails from Snowden. It is a claim you cannot support with even one link to one quote to one NSA spokesperson.

It's a fail. Just admit it and move on.


Edited to add: The link you provided to "prove you point" had a link of its own, which completely disproves your contention that the NSA said this was the ONLY email they had from Snowden. I see you have chosen to simply ignore that inconvenient fact.
