I do agree with you.

The rule of law means that the law is the same for everyone. Snowden was very careful about what he released and allowed to be published.

Hillary Clinton????? I saw something that made me uneasy, and I am opposed to the overclassification by our government. If something made me uneasy, then it probably should not have been sent by unsecured e-mail.
