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

[NanceGreggs]

385. sabrina, you are totally out to lunch on this ...

... and what's more, I think you know that. You just won't admit you were wrong.

Had the NSA made a statement that they had NO emails from Snowden, that would have been headline news. Every pro-Snowden journalist or blogger would have jumped on it immediately and could have shouted from the rooftops that the NSA was obviously lying - and would have had a very large and receptive audience - because NO ONE would ever believe that not a single Snowden email existed.

But according to you, no one anywhere thought it was "an issue" - apparently not even Snowden himself, whose self interests would be served rather well by such a statement. Nor did Greenwald, apparently - who makes a big fuckin' deal out of every single word that emanates from the NSA. According to you, he had this great opportunity to make a point about the NSA telling the biggest whopper of all time - and he chose to ignore it.

Had the NSA made the statement you still insist they did, you should be able to find hundreds of links to that official statement. "Mr. so-and-so, speaking on behalf of the NSA, today stated that the agency has NO emails from Edward Snowden." You can't even find ONE.

Again, according to you, not a single newspaper, news show, political website, political blog, or political talk show [1]so much as mentioned in passing that the NSA had told what would have been such an obvious blatant lie - not one.

Do you understand just how ridiculous that idea is?

Apparently, you don't.

You KNOW how many posters here are always on about NSA's lies. Do you really believe that a lie THIS BIG would not have been mentioned by a single one of them? Did YOU also think a lie THIS BIG wasn't "an issue"? I didn't see you posting any OPs about it. In fact, why don't you post an OP about it now, and see how many people back up your ludicrous assertion that the NSA denied having a single solitary email from Snowden, and see the reaction you get.

You are really making yourself look like a fool. Put the shovel down - the hole you're already in is big enough.
