“That son of a removed, Bibi Netanyahu, he’s a bad guy,” said Biden privately, according to Woodward. “He’s a bad fucking guy!”

Reads like a bloody Onion article.

    Seeing what we did to Assange, Manning, Snowden and others, it’s not exactly encouraging.

      Yeah, you have to have access to top secret documentation, and make that public, before you get in trouble with the government in the US, by talking about their actions. While a serious issue, it’s not very comparable to simply talking about something that happened, out in the open, that has video, and photo, evidence of it circulating all around the world, getting you in serious trouble with the government. We can even openly talk about what was on those documents, without being swept away by the federal government, now that it is public.

      This is just another person who has sided with one evil, and will always whataboutism for them.

        The reason it was top secret is because it’s so egregious. Everyone who endorsed that campaign of persecution should be prosecuted and ousted, funds out back into Treasury.
